Star Trek: The Animated SeriesANIMATED SHOW
Good to know
Why watch Star Trek: The Original Series (Season 1 Episode 1 (Original Pilot - The Cage)) at this point in the timeline?
We arrive at The Cage, the first Star Trek episode ever made, which aired in 1965. After NBC rejected the show because it was "too cerebral," studio owner Lucille Ball persuaded the network to give it another shot and they filmed another pilot. This one was released later and retrofited into canon. Although "The Menagerie", a subsequent episode, uses a lot of The Cage's footage, you should watch both.
Why watch Star Trek: The Original Series (Season 1 Episode 3 (New Pilot - Where No Man Has Gone Before)) at this point in the timeline?
With most of the iconic Star Trek crew from the 1960s, this is the second Original Series pilot that Lucille Ball battled for. Although there still aren't some of the main characters yet, Kirk has a different middle initial, and the sets and uniforms are still a little off, we are finally able to identify ourselves in the world of the program that began it all.
Why watch Star Trek: The Original Series (Season 1 Episode 10) at this point in the timeline?
To be clear, compared to the other Star Trek series we have seen thus far, the original Star Trek will seem less sophisticated in terms of its designs and esthetics, but this is only because of the constraints of television production at the time. This is not "true" in terms of the plot; the technology and society in TOS should be interpreted as being comparable to those in Discovery and Strange New Worlds, both of which occur at roughly this same point in time, and the Enterprise should be recognized as being the exact same ship that Pike commanded in Strange New Worlds despite its different appearance. Regarding the actual watching sequence, it is advised to watch TOS in production order rather than by air date in order to fully appreciate the show's evolution. Generally speaking, don't become overly fixated on continuity with the rest of the series during these early stages; it takes a long time to establish certain aspects that the rest of the brand takes for granted. Episode 11 "The Menagerie" is largely reedited from The Cage, which we watched a while back, but don’t skip it - after spending so much time with Spock and Pike since, this episode is absolutely essential.
