Spock is going through some emotional turmoil in season two, which allows Peck to be more dramatic and emotionally complex. It took awhile before we actually got to know Spock and Ethan Peck‘s performance, but once we did, it was clear Peck was dedicated to honoring the legacy of Leonard Nimoy while providing an emotional edge that was unusual for the character. With Pike came another legacy Enterprise crew member: Spock.

There’s currently a fan petition to get CBS to produce a Pike television series set onboard the Enterprise, and after Pike’s role in season two, it’s easy to understand why fans have grown so attached to him. Admiral Cornwell wasn’t joking when she said Pike represented the best Starfleet had to offer. Pike’s courage in the face of his future is inspiring he chose to help Discovery complete its mission instead of opting out of this gruesome fate. Pike’s defining moment came when he was forced to confront his unexpected fate that the audience already knew about: Pike’s debilitating accident. Mount used this to his advantage, putting a spin on Jeffrey Hunter’s Christopher Pike that allowed him and the writers to flesh out the character far more deeply than anyone likely expected. Not only was the character himself ripe for expansion considering Discovery‘s place in the Star Trek timeline, but Mount brought charm, intelligence, gravitas, and authority to a character that, despite his legendary status in Star Trek fandom, was only seen relatively briefly. Simply put, the decision to incorporate Pike into Discovery was the highlight of the season. The most obvious addition to season two was the person sitting in the center chair: Anson Mount as Captain Pike. Anson Mount as Captain Pike (CBS) Beam Us Up
