I’d say that I like the more intellectual, scientist version of the character in Genesis II.

But as with The Cage and the network’s reaction to Jeffrey Hunter’s original Captain Pike and the push for ripped shirts and fight scenes with Shatner, Roddenberry was pushed to get an actor with a more military, action hero vibe for his second attempt with Planet Earth.

My choice is purely because I really like John Saxon.

I can see that. As a Canadian, I found he projected an image that was too ‘All American’ and less interesting than Alex Cord.
