OK, OK … I keep getting corrected on my Trek lore … yes, I was wrong … I keep forgetting about Pike’s origin in the Trek universe.
It’s funny … I watched several episodes of TOS as a kid and like everyone, I’ve only ever known Kirk (you were lucky if you knew or saw the first original pilot with Captain Pike back then) … so I just automatically grew up thinking Kirk (Shatner) was the first Star Trek Captain.
Oh totally. To be honest I thought Kirk was the first captain until the 2009 movie. That introduced me to the character of Pike (I somehow missed his TOS episodes) and my love was born.
AHA! THAT’S WHERE YOU’RE WRONG! PIKE WAS! HE WINS!
But yeah, I don’t blame you. Kirk is pretty great lol
