Star Trek: Strange New Worlds star Anson Mount discusses Captain Pike's story arc and his tragic destiny.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 will see Captain Christopher Pike refocus on his five-year mission of exploration. As the so-called "boy scout" of Starfleet, Pike exemplifies the ideals of Star Trek. Pike's story arc in Strange New Worlds season 1 saw him come to terms with the horrific accident awaiting him in the future, and season 2 promises to show more of his journey of exploration as Captain of the USS Enterprise.
At the press junket for Strange New Worlds season 2, Screen Rant took part in a roundtable interview with Anson Mount and Rebecca Romijn. When asked about Captain Pike's story arc in Strange New Worlds season 1 going into season 2, Anson Mount had this to say: SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT "We had to deal with [Pike’s dark future] in episode 101. We had to deal with that, not to get past it, but to get Pike back on mission, and through the existential crisis, for the most part. You don't want to entirely forget it, because then you're leaving behind a very important aspect of the character, which I think makes him brave in a different way than we've seen every other Captain.
The Brave Journey of Captain Pike in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds While many Star Trek fans have known about Captain Pike's dark future since the two-part Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "The Menagerie," Pike himself learned about it in the Star Trek: Discovery season 2 episode, "Through the Valley of Shadows." In just a few years' time, Pike will make the heroic choice to risk his life to save the lives of several Starfleet cadets.
In the Strange New Worlds season 1 finale, "A Quality of Mercy," a future version of Admiral Pike showed up to warn the current Pike what could happen if he managed to avoid his fate. This prompted Chris to accept his future, and it looks like the Pike of Strange New Worlds season 2 has a renewed focus on the present.
