Now, I will admit that she would make a great Number One. The only problem is that from the set photos, she is going to have blonde hair for the film while Number One has black hair. Plus, she looked more civilian than Starfleet, so I highly doubt that she is Number One.

I still say that she's a young Carol Marcus.

Has anyone heard anything about the casting of Kirk's best friend Gary Mitchell, the original helmsman under Kirk?

...but IF she is the age thing seems like a non-issue. Wasn't she allegedly genetically engineered? If so, she could live as long as Vulcans for all anyone knows.

I might have to agree that this wouldn't fit only becase we are seeing Pike a good ten years AFTER the events of "The Cage". This means that Number One, who is already in her early 30s in "The Cage" should be in her 40s by the time Kirk and company take command, when this film takes place. I still think Carol Marcus is the better bet for this actress, in age and look.

a touch young! | Report this post to moderator

Well, she's a bit young for a first officer! 28! The pic in the article makes her look 20, although one of the Alias pictures where she has darker hair and sort of business-causal attire makes her believable as somewhere in her early 30s. I think this might be a dicey move. She's about the same age as Young Kirk and Young Spock, the actors, whereas she was no spring chicken in the Cage and she should be firmly in her 40s by the time of Trek 11. I guess Majel was about 34 when she appeared in the Cage, so the character should be about 40 or so, right? 28 is a bit of a stretch. Of course, this is just using the actors' ages and it's nothing that's canon, but it's just a bit weird to make a first officer so damn young. She's second in command of a starship with a crew of hundreds. Who would you take more seriously? Riker, Spock, Chakotay, Kira, or Jennifer Morrison?? Too. Young. I've been supportive of the casting news, but I think this is a misstep.
