MYSTERIOUS: Boldly take us where we ve been pike - You Need To See This

Anson Mount as Pike of the Paramount+ original series "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" Marni Grossman/Paramount+

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" ends its first season with a hard look at unforeseen consequences, mainly those linked to the terrible fate of Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. Those who recall the original "Star Trek" episode "The Menagerie, Part 1" know that the Starfleet commander's career is cut short by an accident that leaves him horrendously disfigured and on life support. He receives a glimpse at that destiny in a second season episode of "Discovery," and throughout "Strange New Worlds" that vision weighs heavily on his psyche.

Pike is the Starship captain Trekkies have been missing, and "Strange New Worlds" is a welcome return to the "Star Trek" they know and love.
