Star Trek: TOS 1.00: "The Cage"

For what is essentially a failed pilot, I thought this was well put together and entertaining. It says a lot about Roddenberry's vision for the show when the very first episode of this space series explores the human mind, rather than the stars. Also: the pulsing vein on the sides of the oh-so-advanced Talosians' heads is classic.
