You guys are gonna make me dig out my Star Trek book....
I have a great one, telling all about these things....then, I'm gonna have to install my scanner so I can get this info to you all. It explains all about the troubles which the series had from show to show..........tells of the "whys and hows" of all the things which occured from start to finish of the entire TOS....

The Paramount 'Star Trek' site www.startrek.com has alot of 'incidenta'l info about all the episodes, characters, series etc. It's a good place to spend a couple of hours (or more Grin

), even if you're just into one series. Grin

It seems that not many people here have seen the pilot episode featuring Hunter as Captain Pike.

Personally, I thought that he did a good job as the captain and often wonder who the series would have been had he been the captain throughout.

The problem with judging from the 'original' pilot is that basically the entire episode takes place off the ship, between Pike, the captive Girl and the Aliens. You don't see him iteract with the crew much at all. What you see of the crew is without Pike, and out of contact with him. So it's difficult to say what sort of leader ot tactician or 'whatever' he would have been, as there is nothing to really go on. Grin

FOUND IT !..........

This is called.... "INSIDE STAR TREK - THE REAL STORY"

its by :

Herbert F. SOLOW - Vice Pres of Desilu, Vice Pres of Paramount TV, and Executive in Charge of Production of the original Star Trek series......he was responsible for the sale, development and production of both pilots and the following series. Gene Roddenberry, the cast,the crew and all the studio personnel all reported directly to him.
Robert H. Justman - Associate Producer and later Co-Producer, worked hand in hand with Gene Roddenberry , was in charge of and responsible for all phases of pre-production, production, and post-production of both pilots and the series.

These guys should have known their stuff..... now, ask away.........

Thats a good point that I didn't consider. When you mention crew interactions it made me think. Another problem with trying to judge Pike's would be success is not only do you see him minimally interact with his crew, but you really don't see him interact with the crew. By that I mean that the only crew member from the "original" series is Spock-no one else is there (McCoy, Scotty, ect). So, another question we must ponder is how would Pike's personality worked with the crew featured in the series itself.
