Can I just say how fortunate we are that both of the recent actors for Pike did smash-up jobs? I’m talking about Bruce Greenwood in the Kelvin films and of course Anson Mount in SNW. Each brought something different and was a stand out in their respective appearances.
Greenwood was a bit of a surprise, he turned pike from an afterthought (the menagerie was good but awkward) to a solid piece of trek background.
Mount is terrifying, far too good at this, it’s been 1.5 seasons (plus disco) and he’s racing to be my favorite captain.
