This is the kind of thing I was very much hoping to see in this show. I’m almost as excited to see Rigel VII as I was to see Talos IV again in Discovery ‘If Memory Serves.’

I am definitely in the contingent that enjoys The Cage more than The Menagerie. I’ve been hoping that the dangling threads of that pilot would be woven back into new stories from the time I saw the first cobbled together restoration of The Cage in the 80s.
