Set ten years before James T. Kirk, “Strange New Worlds” features his predecessor Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) as Captain of the Enterprise, populated with pre-Kirk familiar folks like Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), Nurse Chapel (Jess Bush) and yes, Science Officer Spock (Ethan Peck). In the pilot, Spock gets engaged to his Vulcan breed mate T’Pring (Gia Sandhu) and Pike has to rescue his Number One First Mate (Rebecca Romijn) from a distant planet, that is in the crossroads of a political debate that is similar to the current U.S.
