one thing i really like about my new docs is that I get to use the first description of chris from the original script because its so great:
The Enterprise Command station is unusually spacious, with controls and instrumentation so highly advanced the net effect is simplicity and attractiveness. In foreground, CHRISTOPHER PIKE, Captain of the U.S.S. ENTERPRISE. Our first and most important impression is that he would not be completely out of place on the bridge of a naval cruiser in our day. About forty-four, he is a complex personality with a sensitivity and warmth which the responsibility and loneliness of command often forces him to hide. At the moment, he’s showing some evidence of strain and fatigue, as he watches the huge viewing screen which dominates the bridge.
