00:00:01.292 --> 00:00:02.961
Energize.

2
00:00:02.961 --> 00:00:04.713
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

3
00:00:04.713 --> 00:00:07.841
takes us back a decade
before The Original Series,

4
00:00:07.841 --> 00:00:12.262
when Captain Christopher Pike
helms the U.S.S. Enterprise.

5
00:00:12.262 --> 00:00:13.722
Cadet Uhura, good to see you.

6
00:00:13.722 --> 00:00:14.764
You, too!

7
00:00:14.764 --> 00:00:17.642
[Narrator] His crew includes
quite a few familiar names,

8
00:00:17.642 --> 00:00:21.146
giving us a unique look at
these young Starfleet officers

9
00:00:21.146 --> 00:00:23.982
before they served under Captain Kirk.

10
00:00:23.982 --> 00:00:26.568
Here's what we know about
these legacy characters

11
00:00:26.568 --> 00:00:29.112
and their futures in The Original Series.

12
00:00:29.112 --> 00:00:31.281
Your guess is
as good as mine.

13
00:00:31.281 --> 00:00:32.799
I suggest we refrain
from guessing

14
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:34.300
and find some facts.

15
00:00:34.300 --> 00:00:34.325
I suggest we refrain from
guessing and find some facts.

16
00:00:34.325 --> 00:00:35.535
Spock out.

17
00:00:43.585 --> 00:00:44.419
[Narrator] Captain Pike

18
00:00:44.419 --> 00:00:46.838
is Star Trek's first Starfleet captain

19
00:00:46.838 --> 00:00:48.515
and the lead in Star Trek's

20
00:00:48.515 --> 00:00:50.216
original unaired pilot,

21
00:00:50.216 --> 00:00:51.468
"The Cage."

22
00:00:51.468 --> 00:00:53.928
Scenes from "The Cage"
appear in flashback form

23
00:00:53.928 --> 00:00:57.932
in the Season 1 episodes "The
Menagerie, Part 1 and 2."

24
00:00:57.932 --> 00:00:58.767
Chris...

25
00:01:00.018 --> 00:01:01.770
was that really
you on the screen?

26
00:01:01.770 --> 00:01:03.313
Although
The Original Series

27
00:01:03.313 --> 00:01:06.524
ultimately focuses on
Captain Kirk and his crew,

28
00:01:06.524 --> 00:01:08.234
Captain Pike is established

29
00:01:08.234 --> 00:01:10.737
as the Enterprise's
preceding captain

30
00:01:10.737 --> 00:01:14.032
and Mr. Spock's mentor and friend.

31
00:01:14.032 --> 00:01:16.659
Known as a diligent and dutiful commander,

32
00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:18.161
Pike has already glimpsed

33
00:01:18.161 --> 00:01:19.712
the grim future awaiting him

34
00:01:19.712 --> 00:01:21.281
in The Original Series,

35
00:01:21.281 --> 00:01:21.289
the grim future awaiting
him in The Original Series,

36
00:01:21.289 --> 00:01:24.209
but his future holds
more than he realizes.

37
00:01:26.211 --> 00:01:28.004
Half Vulcan, half human,

38
00:01:28.004 --> 00:01:31.466
Lieutenant Commander Spock, aka Mr. Spock,

39
00:01:31.466 --> 00:01:33.551
is Captain Kirk's right-hand officer

40
00:01:33.551 --> 00:01:35.136
in The Original Series.

41
00:01:35.136 --> 00:01:38.181
However, Spock appears
alongside Captain Pike

42
00:01:38.181 --> 00:01:39.682
in "The Menagerie."

43
00:01:39.682 --> 00:01:41.684
Spock served with
him for several years.

44
00:01:41.684 --> 00:01:43.895
Eleven years, four
months, five days.

45
00:01:43.895 --> 00:01:45.563
[Narrator]
Spock even commits mutiny

46
00:01:45.563 --> 00:01:47.649
to ensure his old
friend and captain

47
00:01:47.649 --> 00:01:49.801
is afforded the
best possible future

48
00:01:49.801 --> 00:01:52.253
in the wake of tragedy.

49
00:01:52.237 --> 00:01:54.155
The inquisitive science officer

50
00:01:54.155 --> 00:01:57.575
goes on to develop a tight
bond with Captain Kirk,

51
00:01:57.575 --> 00:01:59.035
all while earning his place

52
00:01:59.035 --> 00:02:01.788
among Starfleet's
greatest officers.

53
00:02:01.788 --> 00:02:02.622
I'm...

54
00:02:03.498 --> 00:02:05.041
pleased

55
00:02:05.041 --> 00:02:06.417
to see you, Captain.

56
00:02:06.417 --> 00:02:07.827
[Narrator] Seen only in flashbacks

57
00:02:07.827 --> 00:02:09.295
in "The Menagerie,"

58
00:02:09.295 --> 00:02:10.563
Number One,

59
00:02:10.563 --> 00:02:12.499
or Lieutenant Commander Una Chin-Riley

60
00:02:12.499 --> 00:02:12.507
Number One, or Lieutenant
Commander Una Chin-Riley

61
00:02:12.507 --> 00:02:13.925
as we now know her,

62
00:02:13.925 --> 00:02:17.512
is Captain Pike's first
officer aboard the Enterprise.

63
00:02:17.512 --> 00:02:19.180
She leads the
search for Pike

64
00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:21.182
when he goes
missing on Talos IV

65
00:02:21.182 --> 00:02:23.893
during the events of
"The Cage."

66
00:02:23.893 --> 00:02:25.311
Una reunites with Pike

67
00:02:25.311 --> 00:02:27.897
in Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery

68
00:02:27.897 --> 00:02:30.692
with information about
Spock's whereabouts,

69
00:02:30.692 --> 00:02:32.944
affirming the trio's strong bond.

70
00:02:33.862 --> 00:02:36.447
In The Original Series, Lieutenant Uhura

71
00:02:36.447 --> 00:02:38.258
is the U.S.S. Enterprise's

72
00:02:38.258 --> 00:02:40.635
communications officer,

73
00:02:40.618 --> 00:02:43.496
a role she has only
just begun training for

74
00:02:43.496 --> 00:02:46.166
as a cadet on Pike's Enterprise.

75
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.502
Uhura's pride for
her African heritage

76
00:02:49.502 --> 00:02:52.213
is well-documented in
The Original Series.

77
00:02:52.213 --> 00:02:54.382
And aside from
her keen intellect

78
00:02:54.382 --> 00:02:56.134
and command
of linguistics,

79
00:02:56.134 --> 00:03:00.597
Uhura is also the Enterprise's
most talented songstress.

80
00:03:00.597 --> 00:03:03.266
[Uhura humming]

81
00:03:03.266 --> 00:03:05.602
Doctor M'Benga, like Number One,

82
00:03:05.602 --> 00:03:07.053
is only briefly featured

83
00:03:07.053 --> 00:03:08.555
in The Original Series

84
00:03:08.563 --> 00:03:12.275
and given a greater introduction
in Strange New Worlds.

85
00:03:13.526 --> 00:03:16.571
In the Star Trek episode
"A Private Little War,"

86
00:03:16.571 --> 00:03:17.739
Doctor M'Benga,

87
00:03:17.739 --> 00:03:20.950
who has special experience
with Vulcan physiology,

88
00:03:20.950 --> 00:03:23.328
treats Spock with
the aid of Nurse Chapel

89
00:03:23.328 --> 00:03:26.831
after the science officer is
injured on an away mission.

90
00:03:28.291 --> 00:03:29.500
Resuscitating Spock

91
00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:31.578
out his Vulcan
healing state, however,

92
00:03:31.578 --> 00:03:31.586
Resuscitating Spock out his
Vulcan healing state, however,

93
00:03:31.586 --> 00:03:33.671
proves a bit unorthodox.

94
00:03:34.672 --> 00:03:35.673
Thank you, Doctor.

95
00:03:36.674 --> 00:03:38.635
Serving aside Doctor M'Benga

96
00:03:38.635 --> 00:03:39.819
in both The Original Series

97
00:03:39.819 --> 00:03:41.721
and Strange New Worlds

98
00:03:41.721 --> 00:03:43.848
is Nurse Christine Chapel.

99
00:03:43.848 --> 00:03:45.600
Tenacious from the outset,

100
00:03:45.600 --> 00:03:48.478
Nurse Chapel also
serves under Dr. McCoy

101
00:03:48.478 --> 00:03:50.063
on Kirk's Enterprise

102
00:03:50.063 --> 00:03:52.774
and has never been afraid
to question his methods

103
00:03:52.774 --> 00:03:54.651
or jump in to serve.

104
00:03:55.735 --> 00:03:57.320
Thank you, Nurse.

105
00:03:57.320 --> 00:03:58.988
[Narrator] Aside from
the medical adeptness

106
00:03:58.988 --> 00:04:00.865
she proves time and again,

107
00:04:00.865 --> 00:04:03.576
Nurse Chapel holds
a special friendship

108
00:04:03.576 --> 00:04:06.246
and often flirtation
with Spock.

109
00:04:06.246 --> 00:04:08.331
That was not my intention.

110
00:04:08.331 --> 00:04:09.958
I've noticed.

111
00:04:09.958 --> 00:04:11.960
[Narrator] Science Officer Sam Kirk,

112
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.712
brother to Captain James Tiberius Kirk,

113
00:04:14.712 --> 00:04:18.091
appears only once in The Original Series --

114
00:04:18.091 --> 00:04:19.801
[McCoy]
Is this your brother, Jim?

115
00:04:19.801 --> 00:04:22.262
[Narrator] Unfortunately,
on the day of his death.

116
00:04:23.096 --> 00:04:25.348
While Sam faces an unfortunate future,

117
00:04:25.348 --> 00:04:26.975
we do know he also goes on

118
00:04:26.975 --> 00:04:29.852
to be a great scientist,
husband, and father.

119
00:04:29.852 --> 00:04:31.604
And that his resemblance
to his brother

120
00:04:31.604 --> 00:04:33.773
is beyond uncanny.

121
00:04:34.983 --> 00:04:37.402
The Original Series
lays the groundwork

122
00:04:37.402 --> 00:04:40.071
for some of Star Trek's
greatest characters.

123
00:04:40.071 --> 00:04:44.033
And now, Strange New Worlds
provides an exciting glimpse

124
00:04:44.033 --> 00:04:47.745
into an early chapter in
these characters' stories.
