I think CBS has done a TERRIBLE mistake NOT to release a standalone Bluray of The Cage this year - you know, the nice new transfer, seamless branching between the original and the CGI effects, a new audio commentary by Leonard Nimoy and the Okudas, a feature-length documentary, deleted scenes, bloopers .... It's Star Trek's 50 anniversary this year for Shatner's sake!

Honestly, How many people would buy that?

For all intents and purposes The Cage was a failure but the episode IS available on bluray already if people are desperate. It would be far more effort than it would be worth.

I think the majority would consider 2016 to be the real 50th Anniversary.

FAN: Happy 50th Anniversary of Star Trek!

FAN 2: Oh, did the show start 50 years ago?

FAN: No. It's when they shot the first episode.

FAN 2: Oh, like the pilot?

FAN: No. Like, a different pilot. Not of the show we're talking about.

Following that, why not go back to the 50th Anniversary of when Roddenberry came up with the idea? Or when he wrote the theme song lyrics? Of his first draft of THE Star Treak: The Adventures of James Kirkkiller.
