It better be to roll around in a cumbersome wheelchair, beeping at people.

"Eyyy, I'm beeping here!"
When I had to record the opening [“Space, the final frontier…”] monologue — imagine the pressure. It is the single most famous piece of dialogue in the history of television, and I was being asked to record it. We were working on it, and I said, “Guys, can we take a moment to acknowledge that we’re all gonna remember this moment for the rest of our lives?” And then I realized William Shatner was [in space] at that exact moment. You can’t make that up. Later, I told [Shatner] the story, and he said, “I don’t think I ever got it right.” He meant the monologue! He was never sure what it was — was it a monologue, was it a captain’s log? And that was an incredible lesson: You have to keep searching. It’s never done.
How do you get this lesson from that conversation?
Edit: i like Anson's Captain Pike portrayal. I'm rewatching and enjoying SNW a lot.
The only Star Trek show that gets worse verytime i rewatch an episode is Disco. It always discourages an eventual complete rewatch.
i think it's an awkward way of expressing the sentiment that growing up is finding out the adults have no idea what they're doing. Mount is thinking "oh shit, the monologue, how can I ever do half as good as Shatner" and meanwhile Shatner didn't- and still doesn't- even know what it is
Ok i think i got it, somehow
