Where no Kat has gone before! I’m here for it!

K, Zachary

Did you know " to boldly go" is actually not proper English? Its known as a split infinitive. It should be to go boldly

Harry S

The more the better!

00:01:17 This episode is technically the second pilot of Star Trek (but aired out of production order by NBC). The true pilot is "The Cage" but it was rejected by NBC because they felt it had too cerebral and not enough action. Gene Roddenberry promised them "Wagon Train to the stars" (i.e. a space western) but NBC felt he didn't deliver. But they gave him a second chance to make a new pilot and this is it. He changed the whole cast except for Leonard Nimoy (Spock) and wrote a more action-oriented pilot. NBC was pleased and ordered it to series. But Gene will make more changes to the cast when the series begins, as you'll see. Since "The Cage" was not on your list but "The Menagerie" was, I assumed you opted to view the first pilot through this episode rather than separately (Gene cleverly found a way to air "The Cage" as a flashback in the two-part "Menagerie").

00:04:44 I'm a Trekkie. But there are a bunch of TOS episodes I doze off to. Watching YOUR first time viewing may be the only way I'll get through them! lol So, if you decide to watch the whole series, I'm here for it.

00:10:58 This is indeed the remster. I'm on the fence about which you should watch. The original adds a sense of of the era and what Trek's TV effects could achieve at the time and there definitely value in that. On the other hand once they made a shot of the ship flying through space or orbiting a planet, they tended to use them over and over again rather than spend money on new ones. The remaster has some fine effects work that purposely try not to be too advanced. Still, it may take you 'out of the moment' at times.

If you want the authentic 1960s TV experience, the original version will get you closer to it. However, the special effects are quite dated. You can usually tell what’s supposed to be going on, but the actual visuals are pretty crude. It is mostly the exterior shots in space that are enhanched from the original version. Personally I prefer the remaster, as the picture quality and sound mix is better.

Excellent watch! Enjoyed your reaction to definietly one of the best of TOS. Looking forward to the next! Last two notes: 00:17:06 Gary Lockwood would go on to star in 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968. 00:22:19 TOS was purposely sketchy on exactly when in the future it took place, giving writers flexibility with their stories. It would eventually be nailed down to the 23rd century (TNG takes place in the 24th, approximately 78 years later.) This episode takes place in 2265.

Thanks for sharing your reaction with us. This was a lot of fun. Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) was a plot device in books, TV, and movies starting in the late sixties. The internet tells me that fascination with ESP grew out of the counterculture movement plus the popularization of psychedelic drugs. To me, ESP-themed episodes feel quintessentially sixties. They don't necessarily feel "dated," but they do evoke a specific time in our culture. I love watching our past selves predict our future selves. Sixty years ago, this show imagined we would be colonizing other planets in thirty years. I love those kinds of details.

Robert Raszkowski

Yes... the order of the "first" episodes is mess do to NBC executive. They were not sure if this was a good first episode, or if this was the "right" leading actor for this role... But no matter what - we end up with fun crew having a lot fun. So it worked out at the end. Please do watch more. And as for the "capsule moment" - it is great. I mean I'm one of those people who loves to watch older movies. Black and white, silent movies. Again I am reccomanding "Metropolis" from 1927 for You to watch. I hope You will watch more than just 16 episodes. There are of course more boring episodes but most of them are really good - especially with topics about "human" nature. Also please watch episode "The Trouble with Tribbles". :D Well onto the next one. KAT ship flyes by. XD

James At the Peak

Congratulations Kat you are now a Trekkie. Welcome you will have some surprises coming your way besides that Rifle you love. This Show was and is Sci-Fi Television at its best. Thank you for putting this Patron on Cloud 9. Looking forward to your incredible insight of this fantastic Series.

Owen Kosik

Wow this was like they found The Warp from 40k lol they even went mad with power

Steve

Hi Kat, great reaction. I was 10 years old, almost 11, when the original Star Trek series came out in 1966. We kids ran around the neighborhood playing Star Trek wearing black pants and long sleeve velour shirts. I played the captain. I have watched almost none of the other Star Trek series episodes. Although the effects improved, to me, the characters and stories paled by comparison to the original. I am sure those who grew up with TNG feel differently. I hope you watch all of the original series episodes, it will be well worth it. Also, you have a lot of Star Trek original cast movies to watch, plus the 3 starring Chris Pine. I envy you.

Michael clark

Do It! Watch them all.. I started watching when I was 9… the original airing. Have seen each episode at least 10 times…. They are all great…

Michael Gehrman

Great! Yes, you absolutely should watch all of them! The Scottish engineer is Scotty. The actors all get into their roles very quickly; I don't think it's campy at all. Most of these episodes are sci fi classics that are very dramatic with no trace of camp. This series should not be skipped. These characters are important. Anyone who said to skip it gave you very bad advice. It's a shame they weren't thinking it through before being inaccurately dismissive. Some people have no taste or appreciation!

This was actually the second pilot filmed for the show. The first pilot, “The Cage”, was deemed too cerebral by the studio. It was later split into two parts (retitled “The Menagerie”) and incorporated in its entirety into a mid-season episode as flashback footage. Other than Spock, none of the characters in the original pilot made it to the series and the Spock character was changed significantly, including the decision to make the Vulcan species emotionless (really just suppressed emotion). In Gene Rodenberry’s vision for the series, he described the series as “Wagon train to the stars” to encapsulate the idea of people going where no one had gone before. Alternatively, it was frequently described as “Horatio Hornblower in space.” Hornblower featured in a series of Napoleonic era naval adventures in books popular at the time. In fact, the nautical theme was a major component of Rodenberry’s vision for how the ship operated. Rodenberry imagined the Enterprise as a sort of naval ship, even submarine, in space. Hence, many of the audio cues so prevalent in the series and the naming of the offensive weapon “photon torpedoes.” The show even went so far as to basically remake the film “The Enemy Below”, a WW2 movie released a decade earlier involving a U.S. destroyer combating a German submarine. The episode in question is “Balance of Terror”, my personal favorite. The episode also introduces a species that would become a major part of Star Trek lore. Other things to look for in future episodes include uniform and character changes. In the series, they establish the following color schemes for character uniforms: Gold/yellow - Command staff Blue - Medical and Science Red - Engineering and Security In future episodes, Scotty is the head of engineering, not just an engineer (nice promotion). Sulu isn’t a mathematician; he’s one of the two primary pilots and a key member of the command staff. Leonard McCoy (nicknamed “Bones” by Kirk - short for sawbones), the ship’s doctor, replaces the doctor in the pilot. And key character Uhura, the communications officer, is introduced. Later, starting with season 2, the Russian character of Chekov is also introduced. This show is my personal favorite tv show. I highly recommend the books “I Am Not Spock” and “I Am Spock” by Leonard Nimoy, in which he recounts the show’s history and his experiences, as well as the authoritative three book series “These Are The Voyages”, which provides an exhaustive look at every episode of the series (over 2,000 pages worth).

Perry Campbell

Great reaction ❤️❤️❤️ I just joined your patron because u are doing Star Trek I can’t wait!!!!!

Frankie Crews

"He's handsome!" - best Trek interjection ever. Can't wait until you get to some of my favorite episodes.

Michael Gehrman

Camp is an intentional thing. This show was not at all campy. In fact, Wolf in the Fold is a horror episode, and Specter of the Gun is the XFiles episode you just watched. Also, the original characters are vital and iconic, like Scotty, Spock and Uhura. I suspect anyone who told you otherwise never even watched much of the original stories. Very bad advice!

RE: the episode order, the remastered version of the series was put together in airing order, not production order. For the first half of season 1, NBC execs were deciding which episodes aired when, so while "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was produced as the second pilot, and got the series fully green-lit, it was aired fourth, after three other episodes deemed to have "more action". Between the air date/production date thing, and the showrunners still nailing down world-building aspects of the Star Trek universe, there's a lot of little inconsistencies in between episodes that eventually settle in to the Trek we've come to know and love. For example, Vulcans are frequently called "Vulcanians," and Starfleet is first known as the United Earth Space Probe Agency, or You-Spah. Spock's look and demeanor, even the regular crew wasn't quite set yet. Jarring when you're used to stuff that's been pop culture touchstones for 60 years now. I generally prefer the remasters to the original media releases of the series. Fun Fact: when Star Trek was being shown in syndicated reruns from the 70s through the 90s, those airings used "masters" that were essentially "dirty" re-recordings of the final edits- they'd point a camera at a large monitor running the original masters, and that camera fed out to a few dozen secondary monitors, off of which the episodes would be taped and sent to TV stations. When the remaster was done in the mid-00s, it was the first time anyone had gone back to the original negatives and cleaned them up for airing. The remasters look absolutely fabulous, true to the original colors of the episodes as filmed and finally removing all of the copy-of-a-copy generation loss of what was previously available, but obviously they couldn't go back and re-do all the special effects, hence the CGI for the spaceship shots. (Another Fun Fact- the original large shooting model of the Enterprise is on display at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC. )

Who Are These People

Yeah I dunno wtf this version is, this isn't OG. Sucks. I like to admire and appreciate the effort these old shows/movies put into their special effects, but this...feels like the Spanish fresco that woman ruined. 'Ecce Homo'. Maybe most of it is so dated that it's clumsy and quaint, but sometimes it's wonderful.

Who Are These People

"to go boldly" don't got the flow that "to boldly go" got, don't you know.

Who Are These People

It stinks. Those people did their best on the special effects and some nobody just spraypainted CGI over it like that woman who painted over 'Ecce Homo' in Spain. Just let it be what it is. You want updated special effects, I give you 'TNG'.

Toxic Ghost

I would absolutely love if you watched through the full series, but of course it’s up to you and I’m just tagging along for the ride!

Matt Blanchette

Sad this is the version with the updated effects. :-( I'm a purist. lol

Philip Browne

Is he Scottish or Irish? The hint is in the name Scotty 😉

seven tessipates

the actor that played Gary Mitchell, you'll recognize him if/when you get around to watching 2001 a Space Odyssey (which is SCARY in its own right)

seven tessipates

and the accent that Jimmy Doohan did was not a very good 'scottish' brogue but a very accurate "aberdonian" accent, a specific Scottish area with a distinct accent of Aberdeen Scotland

RJ Inkglider

It's a mistake to think that we know that much more about life than they did in the late 60's. It's pretty clear from our declining mental health that we've not got everything right.

RJ Inkglider

Calling it improper English is a myth based on Latin rules. You can split infinitives in English and everyone knows exactly what you mean and it even sounds better.

RJ Inkglider

The writing is so much better than the crap that's on tv today.

RJ Inkglider

If I had to guess I think there was some CGI meddling with this episode. When I was a kid watching TOS reruns they didn't have graphics like this.

RJ Inkglider

I just realized the guest star Mitchell was in 2001 A Space Odyssey. Great actor. I wonder what became of him.

Michael Davis

You do know that James Doohan (Scottie) was also Canadian? Gary Lockwood, who played Gary Mitchell wore silver contact lenses that he could not see through, hence his strange mannerisms.

Max Pujals

. . . this was a great first episode K@t . . thank you !
