The premiere episode fills in the gap at the end of Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery. It’s essentially the aftermath of the events of ‘Such Sweet Sorrow’. And for Pike, ‘Through the Valley of Shadows’, where Pike learned his fate via a time crystal. However, It’s that knowledge Pike is now struggling to come to terms with. His crew is on downtime, while the Enterprise is being repaired in Space Dock. Number One however doesn’t do downtime.
Which secret mission is the synopsis referring to? Fortunately, the 8-minute feature in last week’s Ready Room gives this away. It is Number One’s mission. Una has managed to get herself in some trouble and is now in need of rescue. And no doubt, if there’s one thing that can pull Captain Christopher Pike out of a fate-induced funk, it’s knowing his friend and first officer, needs him.
CLIP – Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Episode One
The trailer/clip for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode one has arrived! It’s even including a cheeky little reference to Star Trek: Discovery. I must say that the arrival to the Enterprise is something we have been wanting for ages now. One thing Star Trek does well all the time is arrival to starships and showing them off in all there glory.
