26: Opening Up The Cage
Star Trek: Captain Pike.
He was captain of the Enterprise before Kirk, but remained
little-known to Star Trek fans for years. Even after the release of
Star Trek’s original pilot “The Cage” in 1988, fans had to rely on
books and comics to learn more about the character played by
Jeffrey Hunter. Then came J.J. Abrams, who put Pike in the center
seat—for a bit. Thanks to this, even casual Star Trek fans are now
familiar with the officer that die-hards have longed to see fleshed
out.
In this episode of Continuing Mission, new host Eric Brasure is
joined by someone attempting to do just that: Todd Shawn Tei. As
the producer of the new independent film project Star Trek: Captain
Pike, Todd is drawing upon elements of the captain’s life that have
been revealed through the expanded universe—along with his own
unique take—to tell Pike’s story. Co-writing with him is none other
than Walter Koenig, and the film has signed on a star-studded cast
of faces familiar to all Star Trek fans. Together with Shawn, we
delve deeper into the project.
