Everyone misses Mark Lenard's hotness. He had the perfect craggy/angular face for a Vulcan, especially circa ST III.

Yah, if they wanted to have more points of correspondence between the reboot and the original, they could have picked something else. On a completely shallow level, Pike inna wheelchair probably isn't even that well remembered from the old series.

don't forget his beautiful voice, either.

it's remembered enough to be a joke in a doctor who/star trek parody (with pike compared to davros). so, familiar to people who watched the original series, but probably not people who just watched the movies.

I watched the original series, and even I didn't remember about Pike being crippled until I read your post. (I mean, I wasn't as much into the original series as you were/are, but I did definitely see the episodes with Pike.)

And it's well-remembered enough to be a joke on Futurama. Twice.
