The charisma of Kirk, the reassurance and command nature of Riker, the diplomatic skill of Picard, fortitude of Janeway and Archer, and the tactical acume of Sisko.
Pike was so good that he gave Discovery 2 season's a positive momentum & spawned a spinoff that turned into the new flagship series of current Trek. What a character (& acting from Anson)!
Captain Pike became the “Best Space Dad Ever” just by being himself. He didn’t yell at Tilly for accidentally pulling up his personnel file and putting up on the main view screen; instead, he used it to let the crew know that he wasn’t Lorca and that their mission would be a more scientific one. He even asked Saru’s permission to sit in the captain’s chair, because he respected the chair, as well as Saru. No wonder so many fans were so captivated… and we even got a terrific spin-off Trek show, too.
They all needed a "Dad" after going through a very toxic relationship with their previous abusive "father." Saru especially needed him in order to grow into being the Captain the crew needed him to be.
I'd say it was respect and an apology to Saru. He knows Saru's command was taken from him, but Starfleet and circumstances demand it. Pike is also saying it's still Saru's ship in the end.
I love this introduction of Kirk's predecessor, he proves himself to "Discovery's" crew using just words and explains why he's there and what's happening precisely in mere minutes. Tilly accidentally brings up his Personnel File on the main viewscreen? He just use's it to reinforce his point-he is NOT Lorca. He even asks Saru's permission to take the Captain's chair. I knew from this scene on he'd be brilliant.
He's not afraid to admit to them he has no idea what they're talking about, which is why he's going to be relying heavily on them instead of telling them how to do their jobs. He's not going to pretend to be something he's not. Just one of the many ways he proves he's different from Lorca.
Hes a last minute replacement or he was the only available Captain. While hes not a scientist, at least in the academy, who's to say hes not better at it. Doesn't each Captain have a specialty before going Command? Maybe he was Operations.
@@Troop3r666 ya so if you want to spend the time to watch the entire TOS they briefly off the cuff talk about how Kirk worked though Tactical to become a commander and the ships he commands in all 3 main time lines reflect that, in TOS and the mirror he is in command of a Heavy cruiser (the Enterprise) and in the time line where pike doesn't follow though with his destiny he commands a Light Attack Cruiser
@@Troop3r666 Everyone has to have a job while climbing the ranks to command. Kirk was security and/or tactical. Picard was an archeologist. Sisko was building the Defiant prototype so I'm assuming some kind of tactical with engineering experience. I don't know what Janeway did but based on the things that distracted her from the trip home I'm guessing stellar cartography.
You know what just hit me? Pike is the only person in the show that talks like old Star Trek characters used to, rather than everyone else, who speak like it's 2020
thats why I hate most Trek these days.. there is ZERO respect for what it means to be an officer of the Line, on a Starship representing the Federations Best & Brightest... ... instead, we get attitudes, over-familiarity and smirking disrespect at every turn... it's worse then annoying, it makes you want to not watch. The Crew on the Love Boat had more respect for their positions and each other then most of these people do
Not only that but every member on this ships bridge the camera takes time to pan-over gets little to no backstory in these early seasons, some are even killed off before we find out what their all about. Thus more proof it was clearly written in favore of Saru and Burnham........with Tilly being the charming exception to the rule therefore it should've just been their trio's series from the start. Pike and Spock as we know now were just the lynchpin to keep folks interested at the time and we were forunate enough to a better series spin-off out of that thanks to fans demands.
Here is my take. Pike is Starfleet frontline. That branch is what we are used to. They are like military ships today. Protocol. Discovery is a 'Flying University'. It is science division. Its the ship that comes in AFTER a constitution survives first encounters. So it is meant to get into orbit for a longer term science mission. The stations on the bridge are large and flat, meant for collaboration and discussion. It has the mentality of science ships and is more casual. This scene is a great example. Captain Pike, a fleet captain snaps people to attention. But he genuinely gets their vibe and roles with it. That last statement to Saru is a great example of 'I am in command!, do you mind?' Once i started watching discovery as a show about a science ship it made more sense and let me release some of that bias. (Although captain pike has a goddamn yellowstone ranch on enterprise) It
It's hard to know whether the concentrated charisma & screen presence is all Mount, or all Pike, or a wonderful mix of the two, but wow is it powerful. A compelling character from his debut to now.
Having seen Mount in Inhumans where all his acting is nonverbal, I'd say it's Mount's charisma first. Now matter what was going on in the show, he was always compelling on screen.
@@EnterpriseKnight I try to find things to like about _Discovery_ because I acknowledge that it comes from an attempt to align with 2020s television, rather than 90s. _SNW_ was an experiment born of fan outcry, and I strongly believe that someone important behind the scenes went on the simple premise of "fine, let's just give them what they think they want, and we'll see if it still floats or if it's all just rose-tinted glasses." I'd like to think that same person is now saying, "well, what'dya know."
@@delcox8165 yeah, I wish they had gone with this since the beginning, especially after the reboot movies and Beyond which was, in my opinion, the only great movie of the three. The formula was there, I'm baffled they didn't recognize it sooner.

Well, to be fair, Strange New Worlds is the Trek us TOS fans wanted when they gave us this Next Gen grumpy old "get off my bridge" old man...lol. SNW is true classic episodic Trek.
Pike stole the show in Discovery... Well, Anson Mount actually... He was so good at playing an interesting, much more relatable character than the others. In many ways, Pike reminds me of Archer, the down to earth, humble, peaceful (not Sisko or Kirk type) captain. Intelligent yes, but not a genius (like Picard or Janeway)...
People tend to forget that Kirk was a huge nerd in the academy, a "stack of books with legs." I think Kirk and Picard were more alike than the easy stereotype of "Kirk punches noses and Picard ponders diplomacy" implies. If anything, they each get credit for being one extreme, but the other is always just beneath the surface. But yes, Anson's Pike has won my heart. Tbh, I always wanted to see where Jeffrey Hunter's would have gone too (where no man had gone before of course)
@@amymcgee7779 One of the things that comes up when you look at the episodes of their respective series and comments about their history is that Kirk was the highly intelligent nerd and an officer who followed regulations (the backstory of "Court Martial" when Finney's beef with him was that Kirk reported Finney's mistake as per regulations and didn't try to cover it up for his friend). Perhaps a bit of a player with the ladies, but nothing extreme. Picard, on the other hand, had dreams of swashbuckling adventure and got into bar fights. I saw someone point out that Kirk's reputation of being a maverick in the popular consciousness is due only to the bit in STII where it's revealed he cheated on the Kobayash Maru exercise.
@@tasha1357 His performance and charisma on Discovery caused an uproar in the ST fan community for a show focussed on Pike featuring Anson Mount. Strange New Worlds was the result!
@@ajw9975 cool.. I didn’t know that. Im only a fan of The Original Series. And I watched the pilot of Strange New Worlds and like it. So I’m watching Discovery to watch Capt Pike since the new series kinda follows.
"With your permission, Commander Saru." That line more than anything else sealed it. So much respect, class, courtesy. The whole bridge crew looks shell-shocked.
This is where Star Trek SNW started, just hadn't been realized yet. James T Kirk is always been my favorite Star Trek character, but now, Captain Pike is right up there with him.
I still didn't watch the spin off, but when I saw Pike's in Discovery I found myself thinking "Let's forget about Kirk for some years". I will watch the spin off in January.
His hair had to find its place in the new series and develop its own character. You can see his hair develop over the two series of Strange New Worlds, into the central character it now is.
I still find it funny that we're reintroduced to Captain Pike here on Discovery, and we have fans petitioning left, right and centre for what's now Strange New Worlds after seeing Pike, Spock and Number One again.

I was so damn excited when Pike joined the show. I wanted so badly to know more about this character.

Despite all the negative comments about Discovery, it rekindled my love for Star Trek because the show introduced us to new info re: the Trek universe. I'm sad there won't be more seasons.
Since the events from "The Cage" takes place 13 years before the original Star Trek series and Discovery takes place a decade before the original series, that would lead to Discovery taking place 3 years after "The Cage".
All the actors who played the role of the captain of the starship Entrepise did not imitate KIRK. They respected his excellence and built their own path. We realized that they bowed to Roddemberry's idea of the principles of the star fleet, and this was sovereign. Pike's role fit Anson Mount like a glove, and only he could do the episode in which he shows another people how humanity almost destroyed its own planet without making it a sermon on the mount or an example to follow.
Burnham giving Pike the glares because she’s not the one speaking. Hated that character. Pike saved that season and Strange New Worlds is a revelation.
I like my trek but this show is just all over the place. Pike was the only reason I started watching but just dropped it for Strange new worlds. Story telling is a bit better.
"But freshly looks and over-bears attaint With cheerful semblance and sweet majesty; That every wretch, pining and pale before, Beholding him, plucks comfort from his looks: A largess universal like the sun His liberal eye doth give to every one, Thawing cold fear, that mean and gentle all, Behold, as may unworthiness define, A little touch of Captain Pike in the night.
This changed Discovery from a wanna be to an actual authentic Star Trek show. No wonder they created "Brave New World". This is what Star Trek fans expected..Enterprise in all its majesty and her famous crew.
I think it's very weird that he's got A's and A+'s across everything, except one thing which he is apparently atrocious at. Could no amount of study get his grasp of astrophysics up to a D or a C? Did he forget to turn over the page with 2 sides of questions? lol
The charisma of Kirk, the reassurance and command nature of Riker, the diplomatic skill of Picard, fortitude of Janeway and Archer, and the tactical acume of Sisko.
Nailed it! 👍
And the warmth of Janeway.
What would Picard have done in balance of terror. i think it would have resulted in war too
I saw this episode. The moment he first beamed aboard, I though he WAS Kirk.
I would add the fatherly nature of Sisko and the love of real food like Sisko.
Pike was so good that he gave Discovery 2 season's a positive momentum & spawned a spinoff that turned into the new flagship series of current Trek. What a character (& acting from Anson)!

The final shot floating over the Enterprise is just one big prick tease.
Since the events from "The Cage" takes place 13 years before the original Star Trek series and Discovery takes place a decade before the original series, that would lead to Discovery taking place 3 years after "The Cage".
How telling that the best shot in Discovery is 30 ish seconds of the USS ENTERPRISE.

It's one universe
Backdoor Pilot, the SNW Show grew out of this DSC Season
I like my trek but this show is just all over the place. Pike was the only reason I started watching but just dropped it for Strange new worlds. Story telling is a bit better.
I miss the black collar on the uniforms
VERY LOW audio level !!!!
The only adult on the ship.
Dude played the part better than neone
"But freshly looks and over-bears attaint
With cheerful semblance and sweet majesty;
That every wretch, pining and pale before,
Beholding him, plucks comfort from his looks:
A largess universal like the sun
His liberal eye doth give to every one,
Thawing cold fear, that mean and gentle all,
Behold, as may unworthiness define,
A little touch of Captain Pike in the night.
And that’s when Michael realized her series was done for, ha ha ha
Sigma signature check garnu. Origination od pschmidt heat. A flap of space
Capt pike what jeanways doing
What Species was Detmer ??

This changed Discovery from a wanna be to an actual authentic Star Trek show. No wonder they created "Brave New World". This is what Star Trek fans expected..Enterprise in all its majesty and her famous crew.
I think it's very weird that he's got A's and A+'s across everything, except one thing which he is apparently atrocious at.
Could no amount of study get his grasp of astrophysics up to a D or a C? Did he forget to turn over the page with 2 sides of questions? lol
