Captain Pike is alright in the new ST reboot.
Larry Flint...yeah...
I don’t have a problem with the actor playing NuPike, but he’s nothing like Jeff Hunter. Hunter’s Pike was a far more angsty and tortured individual. Bruce Greenwood played him like a Captain John F. Kennedy (and Greenwood played Kennedy in another film). It goes to the inherent problem that the Star Wars groupies doing the Trek reboot simply don’t understand the characters. It’s why I prefer they’d have simply continued on from the end of TNG/DS9/Voyager with new characters and adventures rather than f’ing up TOS.
