This is a scene from “The Menagerie” which appeared early in season one. The details are not important, what is important is that what you see here is an illusion created for Captain Pike in blue by a mysterious race called the Talosians who have imprisoned him and the woman kneeling. In the scene before she explains that the Talosians were forced underground by a devastating war which made the surface of their planet uninhabitable. Consequently they developed the power of illusion to make up for their own imprisonment. She says:
…It’s a trap, like a narcotic…Because when dreams become more important than reality, you give up travel, building, creating, you even forget how to repair the machines left behind by your ancestors, you just sit living and reliving other lives left behind in the thought record…
And I’ll leave it at that.
wow.
