40 years ago, on July 1965, producer Gene Roddenberry filmed his second Star Trek pilot, entitled "Where No Man Has Gone Before" at Desilu Studios. After the network rejected his first Trek pilot, called "The Cage" and starring Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Pike, Roddenberry, with the help of writer Samuel A. Peeples delivered a more action-oriented story in the second pilot, which introduced Canadian-born actor William Shatner in the role of Captain James T. Kirk. NBC liked, and in January 1966, Roddenberry was notified of the network acceptance of the pilot.
According to author Allan Asherman in his The Star Trek Compendium resource book, there are actually two different versions of "Where No Man Has Gone Before", only one of which has been televised and it is available on VHS and DVD. The unaired, extended version is the one that Gene Roddenberry submitted to NBC.
It began with a view of our galaxy, accompanied by William Shatner's voiceover introducing the starship mission, a narration not indicated as a Captain's Log entry.
When the disaster recorder materialized and began to flash off and on in the transporter room, the scene "froze" and, and over the picture the words STAR TREK appeared in pink letters trimmed in silver-blue. In the same block-lettering style, the words "Tonight's Episode: 'Where No Man Has Gone Before'" materialized as the opening theme was heard. This original theme music by Alexander Courage was not the same used in "The Cage" and during the series three seasons.
