Lost Version of 2nd Star Trek Pilot Found

Wow, I'm getting really burned out on studying for my electronics test later this week. Eef, I knew there was a reason I never went into electrical engineering or wanted to be an electrician.

Taking a break (and my nose out of my book), I noticed that some Trek stuff has been going on this weekend. Let's lead off with probably the most interesting:



I remember being told that there were in fact three pilots for the original
Star Trek - "The Cage", with Jeffery Hunter, and "Where No Man Has Gone Before",
that we are all familiar with. But I never really heard what the missing third
pilot was. Apparently it has been found, and will be included in the upcoming Blu-ray release of Season 3, due out on December 15th. Apparently this third pilot was merely an alternate version of "Where No Man Has Gone Before", with a different opening and music, and edited differently. This more than likely the actual pilot, which was later re-edited into an episode (interestingly, the third aired episode) which was then called a "pilot" as well. Read More for some clips - the video is not great (the film was 40 years old after all) and the audio level is unstable...
The story from Sci-Fi Storm.
