"The Cage" was the first pilot, which the network did
not buy.  It was used to expand "The Menagerie" into two episodes when the
budget required it.  (Otherwise we could speculate on the de-aging of Spock;
a sort of Deadly Years in reverse.)  The second pilot was "Where No Man 
Has Gone Before".  NBC bought it, obviously.
So, the question is, are you on arrogant pills, or what?
