Bruce Greenwood is the new Pike!!!
- Thread starter Kokomo
- Start date
Unless what happened to Pike somehow could be tied into the plot of the film, that seems unlikely.
What I do think would have to be addressed, however, is the affection (MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER -- YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN) Spock must've had for Pike. After all, Trek fans know that Spock ultimately risked his career and life for Pike. He obviously felt very highly about him.
In that light, I'd guess the Spock-Pike relationship in this movie would probably be a rather close one. Maybe not as close as Spock and Kirk became, but similar.
Glad everyone likes this piece of news. I don't even know who this person is...but then I don't watch many new movies.
While I have ZERO hopeful expectations for this movie I do think this is a good bit of casting. Indeed if this project had been an actual Star Trek adventure with Pike's crew rather than just what is looking to be more like the Starfleet Academy idea warmed over than Greenwood's casting would be even more welcome news.
Pike/Spock should be more father/son. Kirk/Spock was brother/brother. Canonicity aside, this makes Greenwood's age a definite plus.
I really like Greenwood. He's done a lot of good character work. I liked him in Double Jeopardy (with Trek alumnus Ashley Judd 
), he was JFK in Thirteen Days (a great movie) and he's been in a couple other things that I really liked him in. He's a good actor. He might not be the A-name that a lot of people were looking for, but I think you really need someone who can act and carry his own onscreen and convince you that he's the Captain of the Enterprise. That's Bruce Greenwood.

Sometime in the weeks prior to "The Menagerie." Remember, Commodore Mendez said the accident had been causing "subspace chatter for weeks" and Kirk, being out on the frontier and a little out of touch, was unaware of it at first.
Cool casting.
Not what i was expecting, but hell, i cant change anything, so there ya go.
