1964The Cage — unaired pilotGene Roddenberry's original pilot for Star Trek, starring Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Christopher Pike, is filmed and submitted to NBC. The network rejects it as "too cerebral" but unusually commissions a second pilot — the only time in NBC history this has happened. The footage is later incorporated into the two-part episode "The Menagerie" (1966).
