“The Menagerie” STAR TREK™
Logic or loyalty? Spock remains true to both in “The Menagerie,” a Star Trek original series two-parter from 1966. Written by series creator Gene Rodenberry, the award-winning episode incorporates “pre-Kirk” footage from an unaired installment that was originally set to be the pilot episode. Spock and Kirk find themselves at Starbase 11, where they meet Spock’s previous captain, Christopher Pike. Now burned and paralyzed from an accident, Pike can no longer walk or talk. Communicating with flashing lights controlled by his brainwaves, he can only answer yes or no…and Spock is the only one who can help him! His predicament and the mutinous lengths to which Spock will go for his former captain and friend lead to one of the series’ most well-known adventures.
Press the button on the ornament to hear Spock and Captain Kirk speak and see Captain Pike’s light flash.

Pros: Fans of the classic The Menagerie episode will appreciate the blinking light detail—it’s a subtle but effective nod to the story’s mysterious and eerie tone.
Cons: While 2015’s The Needs of the Many ornament gets plenty of criticism, this lesser-known Menagerie piece is even darker in mood and design. That feeling is heightened today, especially with Pike’s character being richly developed and beloved in Strange New Worlds. It’s a somber reminder of his origins that may not resonate with every collector.
