    Oh, hardly. Those are canisters of Alpha Control's preferred space fuel, deutronium.

    Which, much like (di)lithium, is a recognized medium of exchange.

    Considering that they changed the Starfleet uniform greatly after the second pilot (TOS - "Where No Man Has Gone Before") I doubt they reuse any such footage like that from "The Cage".

    The SFX model shots were expensive, and there wasn't many so yeah, there they occasionally used some shots of "The Cage" 1701 but re shooting some extra in a hallway? That wouldn't cost much. ;)

    ...And that Captain Ramart and his Antares were Starfleet after all.

    Or, alternately, that Kirk on occasion shipped some UESPA personnel, what with once having served in that organization himself.

    I loved those tiny fuel cannisters from LIS. Super compact future technology! :biggrin:

    Looking at the frame grabs from the unaired WNMHGB, it seem that they used previously shot footage at least once -- they were in a rush to get on the air at the beginning of the first season.
