The episode which contained Dr. Piper was indeed a  pilot,   the
second.   The  first  was never shown as a pilot (or so I under-
stand), but was  re-arranged  into   two   flashback    episodes
after   the series  was  established.  The actor who played Cap-
tain Christopher  Pike (whose name,  I am ashamed  to  say,  has
slipped my mind) was  not  available  for  the series because of
previous  commitments.  Of all the  actors, Nimoy was  the  only
one to be  in  all the pilots and became a regular.
