One question that always stuck in my mind is this:
At the end of "Menagerie" we see Pike and his polymorph woman
heading into the cave and waving. When was this scene filmed?
It can't be a part of "The Cage".... Pike returns to the ship.
(Doesn't he?)
Was the scene filmed afterward, was it intended as a promotion,
was it a blooper, or did it actually appear in the pilot???

At the end of "The Cage" the Talosians (I think that's who they were--the big-head guys) release Pike because he's too independent to remain in captiv- ity. The woman can't leave because she's really a twisted-up old crone. The big-head guys create an illusion of Pike to accompany the woman back to the cave, proving that they're not such bad eggs after all.

It was just confusing to see out of context. It was originally ment to show Pike that the girl would not be alone and would have more than her memories of him. But in "The Menagerie" (so it's spelled wrong), that scene was shown to tell Kirk either a) That the girl was ok after Pike left, or that b) Pike would be happy down there. It depends on how you view it. Steve Abbott (c) Mad Wabbit Software Inc.

When Pike asks, "Will you give her back her illusion of beauty?", the
keeper says, "That, and more.", but never explains (in "The Menagerie")
what he meant by "more". In "The Cage", the "more" is the illusion
that Pike is still with her, and she goes back inside with her illusion
of Pike to live happily ever after.
