In another interview conducted at last weekend’s New York Comic Con<\/em>, TrekCore<\/em> interviewed Star Trek: Discovery<\/em> newcomers Anson Mount<\/strong> (Pike) and Ethan Peck<\/strong> (Spock).<\/p>\n

Both were excited to be on Discovery<\/em>, especially Peck. “Are you kidding me? It’s Star Trek<\/em>,” he said. It’s like…this is the longest on the job where I’ve still felt surreal [about the experience]. You know, like every day. Literally, every day I’ll be on the set, and I’ll look around, and I\u2019ll be like, ‘I’m on fucking Star Trek<\/em>!'”<\/p>\n

“I said that three times yesterday,” said Mount. “It is so surreal. And I mean, the amount of work that goes into creating these sets that are just utter masterpiece…the attention to detail is just unparalleled, in my opinion.”<\/p>\n

Mount admitted that he had been a fan since childhood. “Yeah, we’d play Star Trek<\/em>,” he said. “We’d take our turn playing who would get to play Kirk and Spock.”<\/p>\n

When it comes to playing Spock, Peck did some homework before stepping in front of the camera. “[I studied] Nimoy<\/strong> specifically,” he said. “[I] definitely tried to internalize what I saw on screen and what he’s doing. There’s a musicality to his voice, the way he speaks. I definitely tried to capture the spirit of him, and then, you know, transpose it into the material I’ve been given, which is very different.”<\/p>\n

And what about that relationship with Michael Burnham? “It’s very complex, and not in the most easy way,” said Peck.<\/p>\n

Mount also spoke about the Burnham-Spock relationship. “There’s a moment in the first episode of the season, where I’m talking to Burnham \u2013 she has questions about where Spock is \u2013 and I mention a little bit about what he’s been going through. At a certain point, she asks me what it’s all about, and I say, ‘[He] didn’t want to talk to me.’<\/p>\n

“There’s just so much packed into that one line. [Spock] didn’t want to share with me. He didn’t want to tell me. Rather than, ‘I ordered him and he ignored it,’ or ‘He didn’t come to my office…’ There’s a real friendship at work here.”<\/p>\n

“And I think that illuminates the dignity of Spock, too,” said Peck. “He sort of hides his shame from someone that he respects and admires.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
