16) The Menagerie (Part 1)

When Mr. Spock kidnaps his disfigured former commander and hijacks the Enterprise across the galaxy to the forbidden world of Talos IV, he not only puts his life and career on the line, but also that of his current commander -- and his loyal friend -- Captain James T. Kirk. Though it was originally conceived for practical purposes to save time and money, Gene Roddenberry and the producers of "Star Trek" made clever and effective use of "The Cage -- the unaired (and very expensive) original pilot -- by framing a powerful and imaginative story around the original footage. The result is "The Menagerie," a beautifully-written and superbly-acted 2-part episode that won a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation.
