    Here’s an idea: a short story featuring the Talosians, having started a retirement home, trying to save their business once replicators and holodeck technology become ubiquitous within the Federation.

    I started watching Star Trek at the beginning of the second season, when I was 14. So I didn’t see The Menagerie when it was first broadcast, but I did see it as soon as Star Trek was shown in syndication (1970, I think). You wondered what fans at the time thought of The Menagerie. My friends and I disliked it, because “our” crew were there only as a shell for The Cage. Well, not *just* because of that, but as far as being interested in the ship’s origin story, we weren’t.
