These episodes are derived from the original pilot for the Star Trek series, The Cage. The Enterprise diverts to Starbase 11 after Spock reports receiving a sub-space message from former Captain of the Enterprise Christopher Pike. However, Pike has been injured from exposure to delta rays and could not have sent the message, as he is confined to a wheelchair which is operated by brain waves. The only communication of which Pike is still capable is signaling yes or no  Pike speaks to Spock in private. Spock, who had served under Pike for 11 years, 4 months, and 5 days, mutinies  and takes Pike to Talos 4.

The Talosians are illusionists, capable of making a man see anything they wish exist. They are also telepaths who can communicate without speaking. The Talosians wish Pike to remain on the planet as Vena's (Vena arrived on the planet via a crashed ship) mate. Aired in 1966
