"I can imagine Darem was brought up in tournaments in violence, and his combat comes from safety almost. But there are boundaries. Meanwhile, Caleb has learned to fight through desperation, through genuine survival. So, they're two characters with a lot of status, one who's been almost gifted his status, and somebody else who has collected their status."
"There's a lovely saying that we came up with [while filming], which is: that Darem fights to win and Caleb fights to kill,"
In 1965 Star Trek produced a second pilot after NBC rejected the Jeffrey Hunter-led "The Cage," and "Where No Man Has Gone Before" introduced Captain Kirk and Gary Mitchell, a rivalry that ended with Mitchell becoming a threat Kirk had to kill. Sixty-one years later Starfleet Academy opens with two cocky cadets, Caleb Mir (Sandro Rosta) and Darem Reymi (George Dawson), clashing over dominance. The two differ in origin and motive: Darem fights to win, shaped by tournaments and fighting from a place of safety with boundaries, while Caleb fights to kill, forged by desperation and genuine survival, reflecting gifted versus collected status.
