@natecull We watched "The Cage" the other evening, and the "Forbidden Planet: The Series" bit is even more accurate than I remember. Though it's a nice touch --- maybe an accident, maybe Roddenberry being clever, or maybe Roddenberry trying to be "clever" --- that the part of the plot that looks most directly lifted from Forbidden Planet turns out to be an illusion. The Talosians show the crew what they want to see.
