Captain Pike's negotiation tactic to bring in new Federation members in Strange New Worlds still works when Captain Freeman uses it in Lower Decks.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Captain Christopher Pike has a secret negotiation tactic in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds that's so effective, it still works over a century later in Star Trek: Lower Decks, when Captain Carol Freeman uses it with the Ferengi. In Strange New Worlds season 1, episode 5 "Spock Amok", the R'ongovians are determining whether to ally themselves with the Klingons, Romulans, or the United Federation of Planets.
Pike realizes that the R'ongovians' changing behavior isn't due to them being fickle. They're a culture characterized by empathy, and their shifting attitudes depending on who they're talking to is representative of the value they place on understanding others' points of view. The key to bringing the R'ongovians into the Federation is to meet them with an amount of understanding equal to their own.
Because Freeman recognizes the elements of Ferengi culture in play, she can respect it enough to use the same tactic Pike did with the R'ongovians. Grand Nagus Rom and his wife Leeta have made some inroads towards a more equitable Ferengi society, but the cultural divide between them and the Federation is still wide.
Could Freeman Use Pike's Trick on Other Star Trek Villains? Captain Pike's secret trick of seeing the other party's point of view worked on relative unknowns the R'ongovians, and on former Federation antagonists the Ferengi, but could it work on long-standing enemies of the Federation? The Klingons remain as independent as ever, so Rom is right to balk at Freeman's revised contract. However, Freeman's own Cerritos is home to one of Starfleet's first Orions, Lt.
Star Trek has long touted the principle of empathy in order to turn adversaries into allies, and in the cases of Pike and Freeman, it's that principle that allows the Federation to ally with more member worlds. In Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the R'ongovians are relatively unknown to Pike, but through careful observation, he recognizes what they value, and embodies it to earn their respect.
