58 Years Later Anson Mount Fixed Star Treks Original Captain Pike Problem
In only two seasons of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Anson Mount has turned Captain Christopher Pike into one of Star Trek's most beloved captains, repairing any problems with Jeffrey Hunter's original Captain Pike. When Gene Roddenberry was conceptualizing Star Trek: The Original Series, the story revolved around Captain Pike and his Enterprise crew. Finding an actor to portray Pike was one of Roddenberry's most difficult tasks, but Jeffrey Hunter eventually landed the role.
Anson Mount Fixed Star Trek’s Problem With Jeffrey Hunter’s Captain Pike Mount's Pike Is Instantly More Likable Than Hunter's Ever Was Close After a screening of"The Cage," NBC famously rejected the Star Trek pilot, claiming that it was"too cerebral" for audiences of the time. The studio was unhappy with many of the casting choices, finding Jeffrey Hunter's take on Captain Pike to be overly serious.
Anson Mount's Captain Pike retains Hunter's thoughtfulness but is less temperamental and more personable. The Pike of Strange New Worlds treats his crew like family, hosting dinners in his personal quarters, something it's hard to imagine Hunter's Pike doing. Anson Mount's Pike has the same attractive leading man qualities as Hunter but is more charismatic and likable.
Pike has also managed to maintain a steady and healthy relationship — with Captain Marie Batel — a feat few Star Trek captains have managed.
