The Cage is the first pilot episode of the Star Trek. It was finished in mid 1965 (with a copyright date of 1964); yet not show on TV in its finished structure until late 1988. The episode was composed by Gene Roddenberry and the network requested another pilot episode, which got to be Where No Man Has Gone Before (Ayers, 2006). NBC apparently called the pilot excessively cerebral, excessively educated, and too abate with not enough activity. As opposed to dismissing the series out and out, however, the network commissioned in a bizarre, and at the time exceptional, move a second pilot. This was acknowledged and Star Trek started creation. Amid the first season, the producers' requirement for new episodes to be conveyed to the network to meet …show more content…

Roddenberry's black-and-white 16mm print made for reference designs was the main existing print of the show, and was as often as possible demonstrated at traditions. Early video arrivals of The Cage utilized Roddenberry's 16mm print, intercut with the shading scenes from The Cage that were utilized as a part of The Menagerie. It was just in 1987 that a film documenter discovered an unmarked (quiet) 35mm reel in a Hollywood film research center with the negative trims of the unused scenes (Engel, 1995). After acknowledging what he had discovered, he orchestrated the reappearance of the footage to Roddenberry's organization. In some fan circles, this is debated and claimed (inaccurately) that the black-and-white 16mm footage was basically …show more content…

It is, truth is told, no answer whatsoever. We've been taken through a story wherein the Captain is persuaded and restored in him, given the ability to continue asking the same inquiry; however he is just ready to do this once he's been affirmed in the barrenness and distorted nature of the world past him. It appears to be likely that Pike, with no backing past himself, will soon be depleted once more. Need the Captain keeping in mind the end goal to start the procedure over once more (Ayers, 2006). Also, indeed, we know that Pike doesn't last. He vanishes after this starting episode and is supplanted by an a great deal more cocksure Captain when Roddenberry attempted once more. What's more terrible is we learn that the entire motivation behind why Talos IV is a taboo world is on account of the government became tied up with the Talosians' silly fear that securing a normal exchange relations would bring about their energy of illusions spreading, destroying others as they've crushed themselves. This fear is a trashy defense for notwithstanding any fly out to or communication with Talos IV and a far more atrocious avocation for upholding such a nonsensical law by instituting capital punishment. I was trusting for some new work that may at any rate endeavor to issue some normal explanation behind the presence of such a draconian law, however the episode didn't even truly

One of this week’s readings focused on Ch. 5, “Caged Birds,” in Professor Lytle Hernandez’s book City of Inmates: Conquest, Rebellion, and the Rise of Human Caging in Los Angeles, 1771-1965, and this chapter was particularly interesting because it further explained the development of immigration control in the United States. As a continuation from the last chapter, there was a huge emphasis in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Geary Act of 1892. This essentially prohibited Chinese laborers from immigrating to the United States, as well as eventually requiring these people to comply with regulations. “Caged Birds” encapsulates the events afterwards, as the book heads well into the early-1900’s. The disenfranchisement of immigrants develops towards further exclusivity because “[by] 1917, Congress had banned all Asian immigration to the Unites States and also categorically prohibited all prostitutes, convicts, anarchists, epileptics, ‘lunatics,’ ‘

The Truman show is a movie that’s plot is based off the republic by Plato, written in 360 B.C.E. The Truman show is about a man who’s lived his entire life in a fictional town that is actually a TV show set. He does not know that his life is a TV show but he starts to learn the truth throughout the movie. Although Peter Weir reuses the idea of a cave were stuck in and that the truth is hard to realize from Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”, the transformation of the truth being much more than what we perceive and getting yourself out of your cave ultimately leads to a deeper truth that is as philosophically compelling. As Plato writes, “Human beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood” meaning that literally, people are trapped in a cave. This is directly used the Truman show, as the TV show set is the cave that Truman in chained in.
