TOS S01E12, S01E13

All of the Trek I watched today:

Star Trek: The Original Series S01E12: "The Menagerie, Part 1"
Star Trek: The Original Series S01E13: "The Menagerie, Part 2"

Things:

• I don't know why it never dawned on me before that Jeffrey Hunter doesn't reprise his role as Captain Pike for this flashback episode (except in the flashback sequences where they use footage from "The Cage", of course).  Apparently they couldn't afford to pay him, especially just to put him in a chair, cover him in makeup and not let him talk.
• It's somewhat interesting that, at least at the time of this incident, the Federation* still has the death penalty on the books--and that its only application is for the violation of the quarantine of Talos IV.
  
  * - I suppose this could be a military penalty enforced by Starfleet and not the civilian government of the Federation, although the nature of USS Enterprise's operating authority was still pretty foggy as of "The Menagerie".  The distinct relationship between the Federation and Starfleet is just starting to come into focus.
• "The Captain is responsible for everything that happens on his ship", which would come back to bite Kirk in the butt in The Undiscovered Country, is first mentioned in Trek canon during Spock's court-martial hearing in this episode (of course it has a long-standing tradition in real-world navies).
