Strange New Worlds Season 3

Warning: SPOILERS For Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds Season 3’s Finale – “New Life And New Civilizations”One thing about Captain Christopher Pike’s (Anson Mount) ending in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 bothers me. Pike and Captain Marie Batel (Melanie Scrofano) acquired a bittersweet parting of ways in which resolved their romance in Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds.

Pike might solely look on helplessly as Batel accepted her future because the Beholder, the everlasting warden imprisoning the traditional evil of the Vezda, in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3’s finale.

Nevertheless, earlier than Batel turned the Beholder, she shared a future with Pike the place Marie and Chris married and lived fortunately along with a daughter till Batel’s demise. It was the longer term each Pike and Batel’s separate destinies denied them in actual life.

But Star Trek followers additionally know the way Captain Pike’s story ends, due to Star Trek: The Unique Sequence‘ “The Menagerie” and who Chris will finally find yourself with. Does Pike’s final destiny make sense after Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3’s finale?

Captain Pike’s Star Trek: TOS Ending Doesn’t Make Sense After Unusual New Worlds Season 3

Star Trek: The Unique Sequence‘ “The Menagerie” establishes that the Talosians will conspire with Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) to ship the critically injured Fleet Captain Pike (Sean Kenney) to Talos IV.

Christopher Pike’s remaining vacation spot is to stay in a lifelike phantasm created for him by the telepathic aliens, and Chris will probably be with Vina (Susan Oliver) for the remainder of his life.

In hindsight, given the deep and complicated, years-long romance between Captain Pike and Captain Batel, it feels odd now that Chris’ future is to finish up with Vina. In spite of everything, he barely is aware of Vina in comparison with Marie.

Captain Pike (Jeffrey Hunter) was captured by the Talosians as a potential mate for Vina in Star Trek’s original pilot, “The Cage.” Since so little was identified about Pike till he returned in Star Trek: Discovery, it was comprehensible that Vina was considered his real love and endgame.

However Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds has modified this with Pike and Batel’s love story. It appears improper now that Pike would settle for residing with Vina, whom he technically solely knew for just a few hours or a day at most, relatively than Batel.

What Captain Pike Would not Know About His Star Trek: TOS Future

It is essential to do not forget that the imaginative and prescient Captain Pike noticed of his future in Star Trek: Discovery covers the total particulars of the accident that disfigures him. He additionally is aware of he finally ends up paralyzed in a wheelchair.

Nevertheless, Pike does not know what occurs after. Chris does not have the longer term data that Spock will risk mutiny and hijack the USS Enterprise to convey Pike to Talos IV, or the Talosians plan to reunite him with Vina.

As for why Captain Pike accepts Vina and the Talosians’ phantasm, it is logical that Pike feels he has already lived the remainder of his life and mentioned goodbye to Marie Batel in Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds season 3’s finale.

Relatively than disturb his poignant ending with Marie, Pike accepts an phantasm of life with Vina, and the surprises and new experiences that include it. Hopefully, Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds‘ remaining two seasons can line up Pike’s future to be with Vina after Batel.
