There can’t, we tell ya! That’s why this week, we invite you to join us for a Star Trek classic, the original unaired pilot, “The Cage” - and to share your thoughts!

How does the first ever Trek captain compare to his other, more recent selves? How does the bridge of our latest Enterprise differ from Una’s first appearance? Oh, and have you noticed any differences between the Spocks?

Which parts of “The Cage” are you glad that Star Trek kept and which parts are you glad were cast aside? We bet if you look closely, you’ll also notice that this episode hasn’t aged as gracefully as some others!

Open Pike Night is proud to have Julian of Strange New Pod join us for this special look back at the episode that started it all!

You have until Friday, March 17th at 8pm EDT to get your thoughts and questions on “The Cage” telepathically recorded (remember, keep it at or under 90 seconds!) and send them to openpike@gmail.com to be featured on-stage. You can also record your message directly at openpike.com/joinus!

“My hair is so short, Spock. Too short.”
