Star Trek: Captain Pike.

\\n

He was captain of the Enterprise before Kirk, but remained\\nlittle-known to Star Trek fans for years. Even after the release of\\nStar Trek\\u2019s original pilot \\u201cThe Cage\\u201d in 1988, fans had to rely on\\nbooks and comics to learn more about the character played by\\nJeffrey Hunter. Then came J.J. Abrams, who put Pike in the center\\nseat\\u2014for a bit. Thanks to this, even casual Star Trek fans are now\\nfamiliar with the officer that die-hards have longed to see fleshed\\nout.

\\n

In this episode of Continuing Mission, new host Eric Brasure is\\njoined by someone attempting to do just that: Todd Shawn Tei. As\\nthe producer of the new independent film project Star Trek: Captain\\nPike, Todd is drawing upon elements of the captain\\u2019s life that have\\nbeen revealed through the expanded universe\\u2014along with his own\\nunique take\\u2014to tell Pike\\u2019s story. Co-writing with him is none other\\nthan Walter Koenig, and the film has signed on a star-studded cast\\nof faces familiar to all Star Trek fans. Together with Shawn, we\\ndelve deeper into the project.
