Also for #ScienceFiction readers today, and #StarTrek fans especially, our own @WordsmithFL has a lovely deep dive into production details and other backend considerations for "The Cage" (the first TOS pilot!).

This is more than an episode review. Stephen looks at a key #SFF trope, design influences, and material pressure points that shaped how characters were crafted.

It's a great bit of genre and TV history, well worth the read for creators!
