Star Trek: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Captain Pike 

It's been rarer that a prequel is bad, though. Both Enterprise and Smallville had the same problems in the beginning since they premiered right after a terrorist attack but they were still very good.

Yup. He said in an interview once that he only signed up for that one season of Disco, and it was the fan petition and outcry that got SNW made

“Like and subscribe” on a warning sign on the wall of the TOS Enterprise!! Well done, TrekCulture, well done! (Can you tell I love your stuff?!?)❤

@@zkd3074 I mean, they literally ended the season with him on the bridge of the Enterprise. And a large chunk of the audience wanted THAT to be the next season.

Let's not forget his amazing hair.

Thanks, you're welcome 👍🖖

With the added craziness of Covid casting and filming, it’s quite stunning. Jess Bush said that she auditioned by video and didn’t meet cast members until filming and then had to mask up all the way to the actual takes. Amazing there was any chemistry at all, let alone the beautiful one they have.

As a good captain should.

Thanks 👍🖖

Wait! I do! I give huge amounts of credits to both the writers and the star🙂. Compelling and unique is an excellent way to say it. This Pike is my favorite and Strange New Worlds is the best new Star Trek show in a long time.

He always WAS a legend in the making! (Hunter's loss! )

I've been a Captain Pike stan for as long as I've been a Trek fan. Really liked how he got the spotlight in the first Kelvin Timeline movie and then cursed mightily when they tossed the character away so abruptly in the second. Anson Mount's appeal lies in how he's crafted an image of the best boss you could ever work for. Absolutely the one in charge, but genuinely cares about his staff's opinions and welfare. And he's one of those people who not only looks for any excuse to cook for others, but is also a really good cook.

@@NeilNadelman Stan?

That scene elevated him from good captain to ultimate bad ass.

I'm actually portraying Anson mount.🕵‍♂️🤔

Uncle Phil 😂

Why would they name a train that, though?

@@GabePuratekuta .... I think that is meant to say baseball "team". And I'm thinking it's sestus 3 as in the same planet that the Gorns attacked in TOS.

"The Giant. South American. Anteater ".

Wow. I had never realized that was him in Hell on Wheels until I read this. An absolute gem of an actor that really makes me care deeply for his characters.

Thanks, it was a lot of fun to make. Only problem is now I'm gonna have to find something even more complex to out do myself 🤦‍♂️😂

@@ashedarke I've got to say the tracking was spot on, glad I wasn't drinking anything

@@barrysteinlage6888 thanks man, still not perfect but it's good enough for what's like a 3 second joke 😂 I believe Sean said something similar when I showed it to him.

@@ashedarke Amazing the details that you can make out in remastered Trek, I never noticed that in the old resolution...

That was something I discovered whilst editing this. To be honest I'm glad he had another role as it made it much easier 😂

You should, it's the closest to old Trek there's been in a while.

So this is kinda funny, I edited this video and I like to sneak in little things into the videos I do. One of which is Sean's NX-01 refit model and so this video actually does have a model of the ship in it 😂 obviously not canon but I've kinda done it for you.

@@ashedarke LOL honoured just for me!!

@@jimwinsor8938 in case you're wondering it's in Pike's quarters at 31 seconds 👍

Now I’ll never be able to unsee Dick Sargent.

@@richardvinsen2385 LOL sorry.

That's at least 8 videos by itself!

Thanks, I always try to one up myself with these, definitely my most ambitious one to date. Just waiting for my next video to work on.

Thank you to whoever agreed with me on how great that video was

Did you not spot the others yet?

@@ashedarke yep. (I saw some more, anyway). Spotted the horgon. Wasn't as sinister as I expected. Sean in The Chair, near the end. And some funny subtitles right at the very end. You might actually be talking to yourself there, like the subtitles. No-one else notices. But what did I miss?

@@FirstDan2000 just the NX-01 but that one is really blended in. It's in Pike's quarters as per tradition. With the horgon I just liked the idea of Pike putting it out and then seeing Vina and thinking Christ this is powerful, it managed to summon you here 😱😂

I honestly looked up whether him and Ray Liotta were related 🤦‍♂️😂

So are the SNL skits.. and black mirror.

I would image he would have had lines. I wonder if a script exists for that show different from what we saw? I know it was a budget move to use the original pilot footage

Star Trek continuity wasn't invented until DS9.

@@GabePuratekuta Star Trek continuity was invented with the airing of "The Menagerie", then reinforced with "By Any Other Name" referencing "A Taste of Armageddon", and with the return of Harry Mudd in "I, Mudd". Try again, rookie.

@@OldManYellsAtClouds younger by seven years, yes...she is much closer to Spock in SNW than she is in TOS

I'll ask picard about it

MENDEZ: You ever met Chris Pike? KIRK: When he was promoted to Fleet Captain. MENDEZ: About your age. Big, handsome man, vital, active. KIRK: I took over the Enterprise from him. Spock served with him for several years. This is from The Menagerie. If Kirk was there when it happened as he says above he would have known Pike was in the chair and there would be no need for the big reveal. This means it would happen before he got in the chair.

English much? My god.

@@morbidmanmusic Englishy badinglashly who give a fucky

It refers to the way Pike communicated after his accident: 1 beep "yes," 2 beeps "no."

Took him all day to learn his lines

I getting higher with every puff

Maybe it was just to get rid of the silly named horse.

You have a dirty mouth.

@@GabePuratekuta Beep Beep.

@@fordcooke722 I take it back. You have a dirty mouth *AND* a dirty mind!

@@GabePuratekuta it's like you know me 🤣

It's a **REALLY** heavy and dark show in it's subject matters. Especially after Season 2. While not making it a bad show, it certainly makes it a difficult thing to watch for many people. And I myself had to stop multiple times to not toss me into a depressed state. It's writing on a single series manner is great. But damn is it brutal and dark. It's not at all what people expect from Star Trek, so naturally on top of that it's going to get a lot of hate.

Thing is, he *could* do something about it. But when he found out what the consequences would be, he *wouldn't* do anything about it.

I'm just glad you keep self perpetuating your hate.

​@@AndrewD8Red Pike is told by a time travel doppelganger that no matter what he does, if he changes the future - even slightly - Spock dies. But that's not how time travel works; there is no "spooky action at a distance" between the temporal event of him being disabled and Spock dying. You know how we know that? It doesn't happen in the Kelvin timeline, which is multiverse canon according to DISCO. The problem is DISCO S2 gives Pike little information about how he "dies"... but let's be honest, it's too much information and he could easily avoid it. Then SNW just says "Nah, he knows everything about..." but the authors are too stupid to realize that it's too much information. Just like personal transporters are too much technology; the existence of this technology simply illegitimates an insurmountable number of plots you could tell. With Pike knowing (a) everything about the accident AND NOW (b) everything about a war with the Romulans, he can literally solve both of those problems with little effort. But someone on the writing staff watched an episode of Doctor Who while half asleep and now Pike literally has the hand of fate working against him, so he's resolved to NOT CHANGE THE FUTURE. ... Except at the very end of the episode, he RESOLVES THE CHANGE THE FUTURE and save Una. You know, the exact same thing that the literal hand of fate and the exposition of an omnipotent time travelling doppelganger of himself just spent the last 40 minutes telling him not to do. And worst of all... Pike doesn't even realize the two are related! When Doc Brown says "what the hell," and reads Marty's letter, it's character growth and character development. But SNW Pike is too stupid to realize he's doing the exact same thing he just resolved to never do! It's unforced error ontop of unforced error.

did they say the ships were destroyed? Or just those they served on, Pike used discovery as a memory of that crew when he couldnt talk about them

You mean how he looks like Johnny Bravo in SNW? 😂

@@OldManYellsAtClouds Good point .... but how? ( a friend of mine need the info )
