Captain Pike said he was gonna do what?! 🤯

In this clip from The Final Frontier Podcast, we dive into a jaw-dropping moment from Star Trek: The Original Series pilot, The Cage. One of Captain Pike’s potential futures casually mentions “trafficking in Orion animal women”—a line that left us stunned upon rewatch. It may have gone over our heads as kids, but in 2025, it raises major ethical eyebrows. Was this a failed attempt at complexity or just a tone-deaf moment from the '60s? Let’s talk about it.
