Spock and Chapel in the TOS episode “The Naked Time” The Enterprise is the starĪ recurring theme we have heard since before production even started for Strange New Worlds was how the show was going to be structured more like The Original Series. Putting all of this together, it’s possible we could see the show explore the relationship between Spock and Uhura and/or between Spock and Christine Chapel. So we were constantly trying to imagine we were responding to promises we thought were made in the original show.

That was super delightful, because The Original Series was filled with those, and we never really got to really play them through. Attractions, potential connections made or missed.
One was the hints of relationships that we imagined we saw or knew we saw that were never quite fulfilled.
There were a couple of things to play with as we were re-making it up.
When Ethan talked about how it is “wonderful” the show is introducing more legacy characters, Romijn piped in, cryptically adding, “Legacy characters with legacy relationships.” Later in the panel, Goldsman talked about this in the context of one of his favorite tie-ins to TOS on Strange New Worlds: There were a few hints about the “feelings of love and attraction” mentioned by Peck. Spock in “The Cage” Paying off hints of TOS relationships We did get some glimpses of the updated USS Enterprise set in her character reveal video.Ī Talosian singing plant briefly amuses Mr. And because we couldn’t hang out off of set, those were the days we got to hang out together like a family. Anson would always come in with literally a boombox blasting rock music on those days. Some of the days on the bridge were our longest days. It was also the only time we got to work together as a cast. She said that feeling lasted all season long, noting, “It just packs a punch every time you are on that set.” She also pointed out that due to COVID restrictions, shooting on the bridge allowed time for the cast to bond, with a little musical help from the captain: When asked what was particularly memorable for her during production, Rebecca Romijn said she was always emotional whenever she stepped on the bridge set. Rocking out on the bridge… and yes, things still explode There certainly won’t be a console TV, but Strange New Worlds is taking inspiration from the mid-century modern style of The Original Series. And we suddenly started redesigning Captain Pike’s quarters to be around a table, to let it be a place where someone can cook for the people who are his crew-that the way to understand how Pike leads is to see Pike’s heart, which is Pike’s kitchen. There’s not that much we really know about Captain Pike… we started talking about what kind of leader Captain Pike was… in just getting to know Anson… he gets the group together, he is a leader, and we started talking about how Anson leads, and how he likes to create consensus and how he likes to do that over a table. Our production designer Jonathan Lee just did such a phenomenal job of maintaining the classic look with the mid-century modern esthetic from the late ’60s-I think you’ll see an homage to that, along with a more modern take.Ĭo-creator Akiva Goldsman added more about Pike’s quarters: The sets are really next level, the first time I got to see the captain’s quarters… they’re the coolest captain’s quarters. When asked what non-spoiler thing they could share about shooting Strange New Worlds, Anson Mount spoke effusively about Pike’s quarters: One particular set got a lot of attention. Ethan Peck (Spock) on the USS Enterprise transporter room set Pike’s quarters get a facelift… and a kitchen
