Good. Because Lake Bell is Morgan Primus.
oh yes, but what gave it so, so much more depth for me were the two journey's in the Menagerie: the physical one as the ship sped toward Talos IV, and the emotional one that Kirk took as he discovered a Spock he'd *thought* he knew. the peeling of the layers of the actual story by the Talosians (on a screen within a screen) was every bit as rich and textured AND poignant as the look on Kirk's face as he began realizing some home truths about his friend and his former, beloved captain. the tension between the two of them was marvelously done.
and it's so right that this episode came at around the end of the first season... BEFORE COTEOF. it's what makes the Menagerie, not the Cage mind you, such an adored episode of mine.

The howls of laughter in the movie theater last night when the Keeper delivered that line were...well, we might as well have been in a midnight "Rocky Horror" screening.
oh, at the DC movie screening? Dennis, I am going there tomorrow. At the 7th Street Regal. any chance you can give me an idea of what I can expect? what are they showing? is it good? are they showing the Menagerie in full or just parts of it and clips from various interviews, etc? I can't find a description of what to expect anywhere. I'm going with a pal who's coming BACK into the Trek fold after leaving post-TNG. so I want it to be good.
i would like to have sexual intercourse with jennifer morrison, if you know what i mean...
Indranee, it's a great presentation - bearing in mind that it's intended to promote the Remastered HD discs.
They show the entire "Menagerie."
First, though, there's a brief introductory piece by Roddenberry's son. Then there's a five or ten minute documentary about the whole "Remastering" project - how the film footage has been restored, how the effects were recreated and the new recording of the theme. Bits and pieces of that have been seen online before.
After the episodes, there's an advertisment for the upcoming release of the second season of the Remastered episodes which is worth watching - there are a couple of well-timed jokes involving headless/limbless balls of fuzz.
Oh, and the Regal pops corn fresh where you can see them do it. Seven bucks for a large tub.

I wish I could see "The Menagerie" -- it's showing on two dates in the near future at a local theatre -- but both times conflict horribly with exams for me.
That said, I really can't think of anything intelligent to say about this, save that it interests me and Jennifer Morrison is hot.

No she shouldn't. Morgan Primus and Number One aren't the same people. They're just "played" by the same actress.Babaganoosh said:
If Number One gets a name, they'd better call her Morgan Primus.
That said, I didn't expect this news. I actually thought Morrison would make a good Carol Marcus, but I can see her as Number One.
Edit: Oh, I see that report has been changed. Again. I don't know what to believe anymore!
Another voice of agreement on this...
"The Cage"-era has long represented (to me anyways) what TOS *should* have been.
Bear in mind the Talosians had the ability to project their abilities from a distance--Pike need not have been on the surface of Talos to have been entered into that fantasy state where he was walking down into the structure with Vina. The Talosians probably "whisked" his mind away the instant he left the conference room. What Kirk saw on the screen was Pike and Vina's minds coming together in that state.
Re: Jennifer Sex Morrison
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
It'd be funny if all of Pike's No. 1's just ended up being the girl he was dating at the time. Might explain Spock's frustration at continually being passed over for the XO job...
"Whoops! Sorry, Spock! It appears as if I've promised the XO job to Gina for this month..."
That crippling accident to Pike wasn't a mistake. He had to be stopped.
Are you sure? I always thought Morgan was the same person as Number One. Morgan is, after all, immortal - and Scotty recognized her from his time on the Enterprise - so they easily *could* have been the same person. In fact, in at least one of the "Captain's Table" stories, they are the same.
