I did wonder about that!! Think Lloyd Bridges would have been pretty darn god in the role. But it may have robbed us of his greatest performance....Airplane. Need I say more?

Yeah thats the one. He refused the part because he thought he`d be pigeonholed afterwards and Jack Lord wanted 50% ownership or something outrageous

The original Pilot Episode was 'The Cage', starring Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Christopher Pike.

A 2nd pilot was commisioned with the Enterprise Crew revamped (though Spock remained), this time with the Shats sitting in the big chair as Captain James T. Kirk. This Episode was 'Where No Man Has Gone Before', broadcast as the third Episode of the first Season.

Hunter would later appear in the two part, Season 1 Episode, 'The Menagerie', as a crippled Christopher Pike. This being essentially a re-telling of 'The Cage', with the plot woven into an adventure featuring the classic Enterprise Crew also.

The episodes which feature Captain Christopher Pike in his special wheelie chair with the beep beep buttons and Spock's court martial were The Menagerie Parts 1 and 2.

Sorry. I have no idea why I started reading this thread in the first place. There was no mention of naked women in it, and I clicked on it just the same.

I'm going to lie down in a dark room.

Wasn't Lloyd Bridges called the King of the pilots?
