"The Menagerie" was shown recently here, and a friend of mine presented the
idea that Captain Pike's adventures on Talos IV comprised the original pilot 
of the Star Trek series.  I told him that there was no pilot for the series,
and the list of ST episodes distributed recently on the Net does not mention
one. So, the question is, is he on drugs, or what?

Trivia question : How many ST episodes show scenes from the history of 
the ST universe, i.e. before Kirk became Captain of the Enterprise?  
(Hmm. A paradox.  In those series with time travel, parts of the story
take place chronologically before Kirk became Captain, but at the same 
time he _is_ Captain.)

And finally, that everpresent generic background chatter : "ER section, 
we read only 4.5 here. Do you confirm?  Gravity is down to .8"
