Number One is there to remind him why and to help him see through some of what he sees as his shortcomings, as well as to challenge him at important times.

I really do think that Number One is a pivotal part of Pike being able to be an effective captain. Can you talk about the respect and admiration between the two characters and why he's willing to do anything he can to help her in this situation?Īnson Mount: Rebecca and I figure that they've been friends going back all the way to the Academy and not just friends, but confidants. Moviefone: To begin with, Anson, Pike puts himself on the line defending Una this season.
