"Star Trekkin' across the universe...."

Only goin' forward cos' we can't find reverese!

Classic tune.

Anyways, has anyone else bought the 1st season of the classic Star Trek that's just been released?

I'm asking because I have and can't for the life of me find the original pilot episode "The Cage" (Y'know the one without William Shatner)

Granted I haven't checked the bonus disc yet but theres no mention of it on the box.

Anyone?

Actually, they didn't invade the Enterprise so much as be taken on as pets. And they were mainly involved in a plot to rid the universe of James T Kirk when a Klingon went back in time to assasinate him. He had planted a bomb in the tribble but was caught by the DS9 crew.

However, the tribbles had plagued the deep space station that the Enterprise was visiting.

:P

hmm, the likelyhood of me having time to watch them all, or money for that matter, is currently zero.

Which is a shame, because I still have a pristine Blake's 7 boxset to watch (which I reckon to be superior to Star Trek TOS). That's kids for you.

Currently I'm on 2 hours of sleep a night....great...

come on the only decent star trek is either Enterprise or Voyager, the rest i believe are crap.... i recon you should rate them now...

1. Enterprise
2. Voyager
3. Deep Space 9
4. The Original Series
5. The Next Generation
6. The Animated Series

Enterprise?

Oh dear oh dear.

6. Enterprise.

I envy you.

Next Generation is clearly the best, followed by Voyager.

The original series, as CM said, is painful to watch.

*shrug* Just looked at amazon.com

".... the two-part "The Menagerie" (which recycled footage from the original pilot, "The Cage," which featured Christopher Pike as the captain of the Enterprise and is not included in this set)"

Still. I ain't gonna lose sleep over it. UK release might be different.

Tribbles as said, I do believe they appeared in an episode of Enterprise. Dr Phlox was feeding them to one of his creatures. The episode they were first in was called "the trouble with tribbles"
