Easily, one of the most successful aspects of all of modern Star Trek has been the character of Captain Pike, played by the ineffable Anson Mount on Star Trek Discovery’s second season. Captain Pike, for many, represents everything we love about Star Trek. A commanding figure who knows how to encourage diverse conversations, opens himself up to new possibilities and ideas around him, knows how to be humble and when to take charge, and generally stands up for humanity at it’s best. But, actually is most similar to perhaps Star Trek’s most forgotten captains...Jonathan Archer from Star Trek Enterprise. And the similarities and differences between Archer and Pike help illuminate the very core ethos of Star Trek.
