Roger H. Goun asks:
  I was also surprised to notice that several
scenes have a much different meaning when edited for the TV episode then
they did originally, but I'm at a loss to remember specific examples of
this now.  Can anyone else fill in the gaps for me?
--------------------

The only thing I can think of offhand is the last scene on the planet,
in which Pike and the girl are walking hand-in-hand back into the cave.
In the original this occurs after Pike wins his freedom; the Pike
walking back into the cave is just an illusion to keep the girl happy,
which was a demand that Pike made.  In "The Menagerie" this scene is an
illusion for both of them, as Pike has just returned to the planet.
