There’s more intense weather in the forecast for New Jersey, but provided Roy’s studio doesn’t go dark (as on Friday), we’ll grab our umbrellas and pull on our wellies for another intrepid attempt to address the “Star Trek” two-parter, “The Menagerie” (1966).
Every thundercloud has a silver lining, and Friday’s delay has allowed us to add a couple more names to the guest list. Therefore, in addition to Chris Hunter, son of Jeffrey Hunter (who plays strapping Captain Pike in the series’ pilot, “The Cage” – ample scenes from which are ingeniously interpolated into “The Menagerie” as flashbacks), we’ll also host Sean David Kenney (who plays Pike when he’s all messed up) and everyone’s favorite Talosian, Sandra Lee Gimpel.
With so many chefs in the kitchen, I’ll mostly sit respectfully and flash “yes” or “no.” Keep tossing us the red meat from the comments section. We’ll have a veritable menagerie to discuss “The Menagerie” on the next Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner, when we livestream on Facebook, YouTube, etc., this Sunday evening at 7:00 EDT!
