The name’s Mudd — Harcourt Fenton Mudd, aka Harry Mudd! Roger C. Carmel makes his first of two “Star Trek” appearances in this early first season episode, which, quite frankly, doesn’t exactly represent “Star Trek” at its finest. But it still has its merits, among them being an aspirational message that upholds the ideals of what “Star Trek” stood for.

"Not chess, Mr. Spock -- POKER!" Captain Kirk attempts to pull off the ultimate bluff in "THE CORBOMITE MANEUVER!" This was the first episode to be produced after "STAR TREK" was sold to NBC-TV as a weekly series, and in many ways, it represent's Trek's equivalent of a mission statement -- but why wasn't it the first episode to air? And how does that statement hold up after 55 years? Break out the Tranya, and LISTEN!

In what amounts to the greatest do-over in television history, William Shatner takes over the center seat as Captain James "R." Kirk of the Starship Enterprise, and from his very first scene, it was clear that Kirk was the role he was born to play. And not only did "Where No Man Has Gone Before" feature enough action, excitement and adventure to officially sell "Star Trek" as a weekly series, it also still stands as one of the greatest "Star Trek" episodes ever produced.

When Gene Roddenberry produced the first "Star Trek" pilot in 1964, the Enterprise was commanded by Captain Christopher Pike, played by Jeffrey Hunter. Even though "The Cage" is commonly referred to as the failed "Star Trek" pilot -- the brass at NBC felt that it "lacked action" and was "too cerebral" -- it was filled with brilliant ideas, thereby making it good enough to grant Roddenberry another try. While Roddenberry knocked it out of the park with the next one, "The Cage" holds up as a fantastic episode in its own right, and one that successfully established the foundation for everything that followed over the next 55 years!
