RELATED: Why 'Strange New Worlds' Shouldn't Rely Too Much on Jim Kirk in Season 2 Spock is very deadpan as he tries to suss out whether the Captain has lost his mind or not, and Peck and Mount weave a certain amount of incidental humor into the scene. He confides in Spock immediately, assuming he can still trust the Vulcan at this point in the future. Right away things seem colder in this universe, more severe, as Pike tries to find his bearings without giving too much away. Things immediately feel off when the Number One that reaches out to the Captain over comms is Spock ( Ethan Peck) rather than Una ( Rebecca Romijn). With a touch of a time crystal, Captain Pike is sent several years into the future where he's saved by the red alert alarm from performing a marriage ceremony between ensigns he does not recognize. But Admiral Pike - who happens to be sporting the uniform from the original series films - also tells him that that choice causes 'catastrophic results.' While our Pike is hesitant to understand how bad it could possibly be if everyone lives, the elder Pike offers him yet another glimpse into a possible future in order to explain the severity of the situation, revealing he was sent by the same Klingons that allowed him his first look at what's to come.

Future Pike tells our Captain that he does find a way to save everyone by writing them all letters so that they simply aren't present on the day that the accident would've ended their lives.
