Should there be a Captain Pike spin-off from DSC?

[Tuskin38]

No I’m just sick of the large number of new shows and movies made in 2018 having men (particularly white, straight men) being made to look stupid and/Or a sexual deviant. I’m sure you would be the first to moan if Pike was talking down to Burnham

Insecurity.

 

[Attentiveluke]

Insecurity.

No

 

[Tuskin38]

No

Yep, it's very clear.

And Michael hardly talked him down. No more than Riker talked down Picard.

A series like this might seem like a good idea but there would always be a dark cloud hanging over it...knowing what will eventually happen to Pike.

For a show that made a virtue of being non-traditionally cast,the enthusiasm for Captain Pike is surprising.

I'm not sure why it's surprising.

The only time Burnham spoke down to Pike is in your own mind.

Maybe more of you should try not being stupid sexual deviants in the first place. I'm glad TV and movies are calling you all out.

Golly...something you’re not sure about.

I vote let’s see. I just think we need to have a full season to get a real idea of Pike as an officer. I’m sure Mount can do it. Just want to be sure where it all lands.

The Enterprise is being repaired and he is canonically the captain of the Enterprise until he hands it over to Kirk. It just wouldn't make sense for him to abandon the Enterprise and stay on the Discovery for multiple years.

Why not? Kirk won’t take command of the Enterprise for many years. Plus, I highly doubt that if Mount is popular and they want to stick with him, that they’re going to worry about ‘canon.’

 

[Tuskin38]

Well there is nothing in canon saying there wasn't another captain, so him staying on for an extra season wouldn't contradict TOS as long as he went back to the Enterprise at the end.

If Pike gets his own spin-off, he will go from have Burnham talk down to him to having number one talk down to him....

He'll still be able to talk down to Yeoman Colt if that makes you feel any better?

 

[XCV330]

No. He comes to a very sad end. I'd rather see one year of the character at his best.

I don't see what's wrong with ending a Pike series with that, or ending it before that. It's still a few years out I assume, I don't think there is a canon year for his accident.

you make a good point. its probably just me.
but on a different note. this guy Anson Mount, i could see him vaulting over to movies from this. He may not be available long. Honestly I'm surprised they held on to Yeoh.

There effectively is as in TOS S1 - "The Menagerie" (taking place in 2266) Commodore Mendez says (In answer to Kirk asking what happened) - "There's been Sub Space chatter about it for weeks..." - plus once Spock found out he quickly came up with and set the events depicted in "The Menagerie" into motion - so yeah, Pike's rescue of a group of Cadets (which is what caused his condition) happens sometime in 2266.

What if playing pike proves to be..... insurMOUNTable?

I'll just let myself out.
