Christopher Pike went down in Trek history as one of the most decorated and respected Starfleet officers of all time. He headed one of the historic five-year-missions of the 1701 Enterprise, defended Earth against Control, and learned the tragic truth of his destiny, only to follow through with it in order to protect others.
After having a mirror universe tyrant lead Discovery's first season, fans were begging for a more likeable Captain to take his place. Captain Pike was a perfect choice. From the moment he arrived on the ship, the mood shifted entirely. He loosened the war-time rules put in place by Lorca and became a friend to his crew, something we saw much more of in Strange New Worlds. He came to embody the principles of peace and the sense of wonder that Starfleet was built on.
As we get ready for the second season of Strange New Worlds (and the mysterious Lower Decks crossover that was recently announced (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7ro-Q4hkBI)), now is a great time to go over some lesser-known details about the first Captain in Star Trek.
