Episode propaganda

Spock (Leonard Nimoy) tricks Captain Kirk (William Shatner) into diverting the Enterprise to Starbase 11. Here, they discover Captain Pike (Sean Kenney), the former commanding officer of Kirk's ship. Tragically, he has been gruesomely disabled whilst rescuing cadets from a damaged starship. Inexplicably, Spock kidnaps Pike and hijacks the Enterprise and takes it to Talos IV...

Intelligence report

The menagerie is a cheap way of utilising the film shot for the first Star trek pilot, The cage. if you've seen it before, do not bother to watch these episodes. If you haven't, then don't be confused when things don't quite gel and don't expect great things. The "Watch this recording and all will be revealed" trick has never worked at any time in the history of anything. A general disappointment.
