As someone who watched the original Star Trek in the 60s, I always wanted to know more about Christopher Pike but I was very disappointed with Season 1 of this show. After waiting a whole year for Season 2, I figured they would start with a really good episode. Boy, was I wrong. This was a boring, poor attempt.. This episode would have been better used midway through the season, not as the premiere. Also, the sets were very dark.
The acting was poor. The premise of Spock in command going off half cocked let along with tears in his eyes as he takes the Enterprise out of dry dock against command orders is as far from logical as he could have gotten.
None of the cast gave convincing performances, and Carol Kane's overacted her character Pelia.
I will give the show another chance before I give up to see if Anson Mount and Rebecca Romiiin add anything with their story lines before I give up.
