At this point just leave Pike as is. Stop trying to tear him down, besmirch him or treat him poorly.
He's a solid, likable leader. That is sufficient.

What's your unpopular opinions on SNW?

No, thanks.
If you don't want to see characters put into "interesting and difficult situations" you'll do well to stay away from fiction altogether. Even the puppets in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe faced their challenges - that's called "a story."
We can do the old gag from the sitcoms when i was a kid where nobody in the house can make a sound or the cake will fall. Then the ship goes to red alert.
I'll try that, thanks.
We'll miss you here, sorta.
You don't have to lie to make friends.
I have a feeling that the consequences of Part 2 of Hegemony may give us that.
My unpopular opinion: despite the crazy ideas, they seem to be able to pull off any genre dive they try out. The crossover and musical had no right to work but they did. I suspect the Christmas special and the porno episode will turn out fine, the live episode may struggle slightly but we'll still all give it an 8.
I hate the angled pylons on the SNW Enterprise.
See? Why is that unpopular? It's just true.
Especially the movie Enterprise. Try building the model kit. Those pylons have to be reinforced with metal just to support the warp nacelles, otherwise they'll sag. TOS Enterprise is better. Don't know how well the SNW Enterpise would fare.
I LOVE the spindly TOS nacelles.
If you look at real spaceships - the ISS, Mir, Apollo, Soyuz, Gemini, - they ALL look fabulously spindly! Somehow I associate this look with "space stuff". The Discoprise is way too sturdy. Like a toy. Or a Star Wars ship. Not a real spaceship.

I don't think the Enterprise is real either.
What's
What's spindly about Apollo, Gemini or Soyuz? They all look pretty solid.
MIR and ISS are space stations. The "spindly" parts are mostly solar panels, yes?
Obviously. Solar panels, antennae, radiators, gripping arms, opened hatches, external thrusters, that whole lander on the Apollo.
Also that modular look in general, where you can clearly see the differentiation between a crew module, engine module, escape rocket, lander, re-entry module... all connected via comparatively tiny but sturdy airlocks, that hold the whole thing together somehow.
Can't wait to see the ISS hit warp speed.
It's time for him to face his biggest challenge yet. Trying to pull off a mullet after the Gorn really screw up his hair in the season 3 opener.

I like the angled pylons on the SNW Enterprise. There's a lot I don't like (it's too squat and I hate the red/blue nacelle colours) but the nacelles are cool.
That bridge window with the long, long tunnel in front though (invisible from the inside)... oof. Just move the bridge forward like on the Farragut.

I rewatched The Squall, last night, the 'Aspen' acting was good until they, as Captain Angel went all Christmas Panto villian.
I want a Mirror episode, just to see Mount acting handsomely cool, calm and totally evil
