Footage from this unaired pilot was later re-edited as a [[Recap/StarTrekS1E11TheMenageriePartI two part]] [[Recap/StarTrekS1E12TheMenageriePartII regular episode]] called "The Menagerie", where the events were presented as something that had happened to a former crew of the ''Enterprise'', ten years prior to the start of the main series. The original version, however, eventually made its broadcast premiere in 1988, as part of the TV special ''The Star Trek Saga: From One Generation To The Next'', which previewed the writers' strike-delayed second season of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''. "The Cage" was also the last of the digitally remastered TOS episodes to air, debuting the week before ''Film/StarTrek2009'' opened in theaters.

* FailedPilotEpisode: ZigZagged. On the one hand, the network rejected this as the pilot for ''ST:TOS'' and ordered another one which led to the show that started the franchise. On the other hand, this episode was repurposed as a two-parter in the series, making it canon. On the ''other'' other hand, season 2 of ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' would feature Pike, Spock, and Number One along with the ''Enterprise'', which would lead to them getting [[Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds their own show]] -- so in a sense, this pilot ''did'' get its own show, just a few decades later than anyone thought.

* ThePowerOfHate: Pike lunges at the glass wall of his cell, causing the Keeper to flinch. Since the Talosians can read his thoughts, and should have known he was going to do that, he deduces that his powerful, 'primitive' emotion was able to block their telepathy. Pike then concentrates on feeling intense hatred for his captors.

* YearInsideHourOutside: After Number One and Yeoman Colt beam down, the Keeper punishes Pike for "wrong thnking." While the two are wondering what is going on, Vina just cradles her head in her hand. She knows that Pike is being punished and while it seems like a couple of seconds, for him the punishment could be lasting for hours.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: While talking with Doctor Boyce, Captain Pike talks about the battle on Rigel Seven and two activities he might partake in after retiring: going on a picnic on Earth or becoming an Orion trader. Each of these is used as the basis for one of the telepathic illusions the Talosians use on him later.

** Throughout the episode it's implied that Vina is not who she seems. At first this seems to be explained by her pretending to be a Talosian illusion in hopes of more easily seducing Pike; then Number One offhandedly mentions that, rather than Vina having been born right as the ''Columbia'' crash-landed on the planet, she was listed on manifests as an ''adult'' crewman. This foreshadows her ''true'' appearance, that of a much older, deeply scarred and disfigured woman.
