Star Trek and Number One

The rumors are swirling about the new Star Trek movie. Today's Cleveland Plain Dealer featured a short article outlining the film's casting. Trek Today reports that Captain Christopher Pike will play a major role in the upcoming film. Although there is no posted information yet, if this film does focus on the Enterprise under Pike I hope they expand on the role Majel Barrett played in the original pilot, Number One. Her role was small, but just seeing the character in action, and from the small amount of interplay between Spock, herself and Pike, I could tell that she held promise and could well have become a fan favorite.
