Strange New Worlds needed an updated Pike.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds would not have worked if the show had not updated the character of Captain Christopher Pike . Anson Mount's Captain Pike made his debut in Star Trek: Discovery season 2 when he took over command of the USS Discovery to investigate a series of mysterious red bursts. Mount's take on Pike turned out to be so well-liked that fans began clamoring for a spin-off following his adventures on the USS Enterprise. Thus, Strange New Worlds was born.
Strange New Worlds Wouldn't Have Worked With Star Trek's Original Version Of Captain Pike Jeffrey Hunter's Captain Pike Feels Outdated Close Jeffrey Hunter's take on Captain Pike was temperamentally different from Anson Mount's and would not have worked as well with the tone of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Hunter's Pike was intense and austere, never letting his guard down in front of his crew.
Strange New Worlds' Captain Pike Is Actually Closer To Kirk Pike Clearly Loves Being A Starship Captain Just As Much As Kirk Close Although Captain Pike has a decidedly different command style from Captain Kirk, the two have quite a bit in common as well. They both have a certain twinkle in their eye that signifies how much they love being captain of the Enterprise.
How Much Strange New Worlds Actually Rewrites Star Trek's Original Captain Pike Anson Mount's Updated Version Of Pike Is Perfect For The Modern Era Close Jeffrey Hunter was a fine actor, but his Pike does not convey the bright and hopeful energy that Mount's Pike does. Still, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds did not completely rewrite the character of Captain Pike, keeping much of his basic story the same.
