72: A Hint of TOS
Manage episode 236175711 series 1511646
Captain Pike. It seems as if Christopher Pike can do no wrong. We are told that he is Starfleet’s finest, but why is Captain Pike the best of the best? From his command decisions to his personal connection with the crew, Kirk’s predecessor gives hope and optimism to Star Trek: Discovery season two.
In this episode of The Edge, hosts Amy Nelson and Patrick Devlin deep-dive into Christopher Pike to explore the traits that made fans fall in love with Anson Mount’s rendition of the character who first appeared in “The Cage,” the original unaired pilot for Star Trek: The Original Series. Will the points they uncover explain why there is little character growth for Pike during the season? Was he written too perfectly?
