"The Cage" is the first pilot episode of Star Trek. It was completed in early 1965
(with a copyright date of 1964), but not broadcast on television in its complete form
until late 1988. The episode was written by Gene Roddenberry and directed by
Robert Butler. It was rejected by NBC in February 1965, and the network ordered
another pilot episode, which became "Where No Man Has Gone Before".

It's my intention to upload the entire original series

at one episode a day instead of a huge pack, by production order.
