Captain Pike was first Captain of the Enterprise... > In the original series Kirk and Pike are the only Captains of the Enterprise ever mentioned. Pike commanded the Enterprise before Kirk, but no mention is ever made of his being the FIRST Captain. In the animated series' THE COUNTER-CLOCK INCIDENT April is introduced as the first ever Captain of the Enterprise. The name was actually one of the ones being considered for the lead character when the series was being developed; THE MAKING OF STAR TREK mentions a time when Captain Fill-in-the-Blank was changing names about as often as socks. --pH /* * "Brain, brain, and again brain!
