Production on the second season of Star Trek: Discovery continues, and today we wrap up bits and pieces about the show for the week, starting with a fun video courtesy of the newest cast member.

Watch Anson Mount get coiffed into Captain Pike

This afternoon Anson Mount shared a video on Twitter showing him getting styled as Captain Pike. While Mount was briefly seen from behind in the production start teaser released two weeks ago, this is the first look at his Pike hairdo from the front.

We have put together a little comparison picture of Mount’s look and Jeffrey Hunter from “The Cage.”

Mount’s Trek meme get Shatner’s attention

Speaking of Mount, the actor continues continues to use Star Trek memes on Twitter including making trending topic jokes or even when talking Hockey. On Monday when he used a classic Kirk GIF to lament his early call time on set, he got the attention of the original Kirk himself.

So who is this highly caffeinated person portraying @StarTrek? https://t.co/HLQpaHvXHl — William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) May 7, 2018

Shatner’s reply started an exchange between the two with some fun banter between the captains.

So he’s playing a red shirt?🤔 https://t.co/CMN4TtYKLN — William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) May 7, 2018

Shatner has been briefed on Disco

Of course William Shatner is a very busy with his appearances, acting and music. So, it is no surprise he still has not had time to catch up on Star Trek: Discovery, but in a new interview, Shatner says he is being kept up to speed on it:

“I haven’t watched [Discovery]. My people are trying to educate me about that so I don’t look stupid about things I’m supposed to know.”

Yeoh back in Toronto

Actress Michelle Yeoh has returned to Toronto, home of Star Trek: Discovery’s production. Yeoh sent out a photo on Instagram over the weekend showing the nice weather and proclaiming it was good to be back. Yeoh’s character of former Emperor Georgiou of the Mirror Universe was last seen in the season one “bonus scene,” being recruited into Section 31. It’s not known that she is in Toronto for Discovery, but this could indicate that she may be appearing as early as the second episode.

On Tuesday Mary Chieffo (L’Rell) also tweeted out that she was traveling, possibly also on her way to Toronto. It was previously reported that she would be shooting for Discovery in May, so it is possible she may appear in the second or third episode of the series.

Makeup veteran finally gets Frakes’ autograph

James MacKinnon is a Trek makeup veteran, who has been part of the makeup crews on TNG, DS9, Star Trek: First Contact, and Star Trek (2009), and of course currently works on Discovery. MacKinnon posted on Instagram that he finally got director Jonathan Frakes’ autograph on the memento the cast and crew got when First Contact wrapped filming.

Fan photoshop of the week: Disco crew with new Enterprise outfits

Trek fan Clark Crawford has photoshopped the uniforms in the season one finale promo image of the Discovery bridge crew into the style we saw teased in the season 2 production video for the USS Enterprise crew.

I expect the Discovery crew is keeping their established uniforms, but I took a shot at the Enterprise uniforms. They look quite dapper; ready for strange new worlds. #StarTrekDiscovery #StarTrek pic.twitter.com/Aeqed4Ram7 — Clark Crawford (@ClarkGab_le) May 9, 2018

Writer Ted Sullivan dukes it out with cardboard

Writer/Producer Ted Sullivan tweeted out a funny photo of him pretending to be mad at the cardboard standee of Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp). Pulling a Rodney Dangerfield about how the writers get no respect.

Anthony Rapp of course replied feigning ignorance like he’s a big shot movie star

I’m sorry, Ted WHO? 😜😜😜 — Anthony Rapp (@albinokid) May 9, 2018

Throwback to Klingon rehearsals

Mary Chieffo (L’Rell) tweeted a throwback video of herself, along with Shazad Latif (Voq), and Kenneth Mitchel (Kol), practicing their Klingon dialog on the Sarcophagus ship set.
