Where No Man Has Gone Before

:A captain, his best friend and his girl, and a rabid Vulcan bent on destruction.
::Also known as: Where Picard Will Go Again; Where No One Will Want to Go Again; Where the Frick Are We Spock?, We're Lost Again, Aren't We?, and I Told You to Buy a GPS.
==Why It Was Made==
The second pilot was made because the first one was two much of a smarty-pants nerd for the network. So they made this for all the rednecks of the world. Even though this is a pilot, it was aired after the first one: 'the one with the salt vampire thing'. This pilot was also a flop and millions of confused rednecks rose up and burned the set to the ground and watched while the network produced a third pilot.
==Summary==
On his very first mission, despite being warned of the grave danger posed by the galactic barrier, Captain James R. Kirk elected to fly into it at warp lots speed without even dispatching a class 47 probe. Almost immediately, nine crewmen were killed and two were zapped with high-intensity sparkler effects. One of these two, his best friend named Gary Mitchell (who may have been behind the whole "let's-cheat-on-the-big-test-so-Jimmy-can-sit-in-the-center-seat-and-get-me-into-space-with-him-so-I-can-finally-get-some-action-with-the-ladies" scheme), developed an odd ocular condition that caused his eyes to glow and prevented Mitchell from looking anyone in the eye for the rest of the episode.
:Four years later, Mitchell was assasinated by an on-board computer while trying to repair a working antenna.
Meanwhile, the untried and immature Kirk continually ignored solid advice from his command staff. Some of the comments were sheer genius: "The only fact we know for sure was that the Valiant was destroyed," or "Well, whatever it is, contact in 12 seconds." Kirk also displayed a fair amount of bigotry toward his super-competent Science Officer Spock, who really only wanted to kill Mitchell at the earliest opportunity.
Finally Kirk vacillated his way onto planet Delta Chevy Vega, where he ultimately capitulated to Spock's whining and killed his best friend.
