A plenitude of Pikes (self.startrek)

Can I just say how fortunate we are that both of the recent actors for Pike did smash-up jobs? I’m talking about Bruce Greenwood in the Kelvin films and of course Anson Mount in SNW. Each brought something different and was a stand out in their respective appearances.

I don't get how he's rocking this role that hard, he's making TOS Shatner look bad.

There's stealing a scene, then there's stealing the whole franchise somehow.

He was by far a minor character in the last episode, but his empathy still made him register throughout all that weapons-grade intensity around him.
