ansonmountdaily:Anson Mount about Captain Christopher Pike’s relationship with Commander Michael Burnham in Star Trek: Discovery Season 2- Shore Leave Convention panel, July 14 2019 (starts at 26:04)“Within the first day I realize that she is captain material. No doubt. And, also, I’m the new kid. The other thing that I figure out is that Captain Pike is smart enough to realize that his greatest resource, his greatest tool, is his crew, which is what makes him say to the bridge, ‘I’m lost. You got any ideas?’ Which I think is a superpower of a kind. It makes for great bridge scenes but it also allows him to go to Burnham and say, ‘Okay. You know this crew better than I do and we need to trust each other.’ So, I think, in a way, it was give and take and she was as much a mentor to him as he was to her. I think he learnt a lot from Burnham. I think that her gut is probably better than his. She has tremendous heart.” - Anson Mount -- source link
