No I'm not accepting any arguments, thank you <3
He might have best captain in starfleet down, but I submit someone else for best captain in Trek:
Captain Killy

I love Killy with the passion of a thousand weird external ship core thingies
I really do love Pike and his arc. I can't wait for new SNW. Also the hair, God damn is it perfect.
RIP to Jeffery Hunter the actor who played the original Christopher Pike ... I'm actually watching The Original Series with my wife (which is a small miracle) and as we watch, we research and look up little facts and details about the show. Jeffery Hunter at the time was a handsome leading man with a great career in film and television. He had a stunt accident in 1969 which injured him and led to his death shortly after, at the age of 42 - five years after making his appearance as the first Star Trek captain in 1964. He would never know his important place in Star Trek fandom almost 60 years later.
No matter when/how this show ends, it'll be the same way, and it'll be far too soon.
Also: is Pike aware that he's functionally immortal until the clock runs out? There's ample evidence that his future is unavoidable, so he'd have to come to this conclusion by now, right?
Remember when he tried to warn one of the future cadets? He nearly had time traveling Klingon monk assassins come after him
I'm pretty sure he mentions not wanting to risk it in one of the episodes
Kinda wish Boimler and/or Mariner had let slip that his mind was going to be able to exist in a computer simulation, unbound by the chair. But I guess that would cheapen his willing sacrifice.
I 100% get why they changed them for Strange New Worlds, but damn if I don't love that Enterprise-coloured Discovery-style uniform.
Incorrect. He and SNW are solid tho. Not quite what I want out of trek but the closest any of their attempts have been in years.
