Kirk 2.0: Captain Pike of new `Star Trek’ a welcome new icon GlobeArts
From left, Ethan Peck as Spock, Rebecca Romijn as Number One, and Anson Mount as Captain Pike of the the CBS All Access series 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.'In the beginning, in the “Star Trek” universe, there was only Captain Kirk. At least to the general public.
And as played today by Mount, Captain Pike – now framed through a creative lens that has captured 55 years of captaining by Kirks, Picards, Siskos, Janeways and Archers – may be the finest, most intuitive leader that the “Star Trek” universe has ever produced. Both are utterly principled and committed to their missions. But where Kirk could be arrogant, Pike is steadfast. Where Kirk was expansive and welcomed attention, Pike is wary of it – but seamlessly claims centre stage when needed.
They’ll also be exploring the rich history of the original Enterprise itself, a ship so storied that a mail-in campaign by fans in the mid-1970s led NASA to rename the first space shuttle after it. Lovingly reconceived to appear in the second season of “Discovery,” it is sleek and moody and rich with the colours and layout that made it so compelling in the 1960s – updated for today’s HD audiences but holding onto the soul of its low-budget predecessor.
