From AMC’s Hell on Wheels to striking it big in Star Trek circles as Captain Christopher Pike in season two of Discovery, Anson Mount became – in this writers humble opinion – the best Captain in the franchise, best by how fast he planted himself in the center seat and took command of the ship with the challenges he faced. He was in Sydney this weekend for Supanova (and Perth next weekend) and call into Trekzone to chat about his time on Discovery.
