The Roddenberry Archive - The Enterprise & more! (The Cage)

Postby Jeff T » Thu May 12, 2022 12:00 pm

This is a very impressive undertaking!

Star Trek luminaries Mike and Denise Okuda explore the production and inception of Gene Roddenberry's 1964 "Star Trek" Pilot - 'The Cage' - and its profound impact on Star Trek history.

Beautiful recreations of the episodes's sets, characters and locations created by the Roddenberry Archive team in tandem with testimony from the original cast and crew - including Director Robert Butler - memorialize The Cage's legacy for generations to come.

Given the loss of Roddenberry's vision of Star Trek and the future, this team of dedicated artist, designers, etc... are adamant about preserving the details and legacy of the original concept of Star Trek and the Enterprise itself. I found this inspiring.
And the woman depicting Yeoman Colt is so hauntingly similar in likeness that is was as if she was preserved for almost 60 years!

You have to ponder about why they (and us) feel this is so important at this point in time...
Fleet XO - RP Director - Former Fleet Admiral, Operations CO, JAG and Ambassador - Former Captain of the USS Artemis and of the flagship USS Horizon - Current Captain of the USS Millennium

"In this galaxy, there is a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. In all the universe, three million, million galaxies like this.
And in all of that... and perhaps more...
only one of each of us."
