I hope it’ll go 7 seasons. The production values, and the cast are awesome. Hope the writing is as good. Live long and prosper, Star Trek!
Dawn says
Anson Mount is AMAZING as Captain Christopher Pike! Pike sees his future (and it’s bleak) but how about giving him another Enterprise show BEFORE the bleak happens?? Trust me, I would follow this man anywhere*… and the coming James T. Kirk could and will learn a lot from this captain!
*Truly inspiring leaders are hard to find.
