[[WMG: Hemmer will die saving the ship at some point, inspiring Spock to do the same in TWOK]]
In "Memento Mori", Hemmer comments that the Aenar believe that one can't die until they have fulfilled their purpose. Uhura asks him what his purpose is, to which he replies: "To fix what is broken." It's hard not to see this as {{foreshadowing}} -- at some point in the future, he'll die in a HeroicSacrifice to save the ship and her crew, Scotty will be brought in as his replacement, and the incident will be what inspires Spock to pull a similar stunt in the climax of ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''.

Pike's foreknowledge of everything about the accident, should be enough to save everyone and beat his fate. It's the apparent direction of the writers. Only Fate rarely loses.

[[WMG: There's no fate but what we make for ourselves.]]
There will be a scene of Christopher Pikes' near feature. With years of training, Christopher Pike will beat the 'No Win Scenario,' and save all the cadets and himself. Almost. Only to find there is/was another cadet to save. Their remains found decades later. Laughing, while about to succumb to wounds, Pike is rescued by an unknown Starfleet Admiral.

Dusting off Pike the officer mutters, 'Jean-Luc would be disappointed.' Before Pike can ask his million questions, the Admiral has Pike look after the cadets. Q has a rare expression of sadness. 'Fate can be postponed. But it can't be cheated.' Q snaps his fingers only to find nothing happens. 'I'm dying??' Q snaps his fingers again.

They have a lot of scenes together in Episode 2, with Spock often offering Uhura advice and encouragement, and they even perform a duet of sorts on the comet. Their CommonalityConnection is that they're both "too honest" and they're knowledgeable about the mathematics of music. In the Kelvin timeline, he was her Advanced Phonology instructor, so the showrunners seem to have been inspired by that and are portraying Spock as Uhura's mentor in the prime timeline. It's worth noting that a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on13MPwy3KA deleted scene]] from ''TOS'' shows that he taught her how to play the Vulcan lute.

Pike shows footage of the 2021 Capitol riot and implies it’s a predecessor to the Eugenics Wars (dated to the 1990s). This is not supposed to be an actual retcon from the writers, but an implication that the FutureImperfect trope is in play. Either the Eugenics Wars are initially thought to have happened later than they actually did (a mistake which gets corrected by the TOS timeframe), or the Capitol Riot is not actually a predecessor to the Second American Civil War, and the footage Pike used was mistakenly labeled as such.

[[WMG: Pike will somehow avert YouCantFightFate as a result of his vision]]
This aversion could take one of many forms. It's highly unlikely he'll [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]] to do so. He could become a DeathSeeker in order to seek a HeroicSacrifice to make sure he actually dies. Or he could do something to prevent his incapacitation in 2266; or an attempt to prevent it could lead to him actually dying.

Or, assuming he actually did see himself die--and he could've meant when he said he saw his actual death that he regarded his incapacitation as equivalent to being dead--he could do something that results in his ultimate incapacitation as originally seen in "The Menagerie".

She's not just a distant descendant of Khan, but an Augment from the same Eugenics War era. Like Khan's group, they set out on a sublight colony ship... which instead of being found by the ''Enterprise'' like the ''Botany Bay'' was, it was found by Gorn. Cue all the horrific things that happened to the crew, and La'an being the sole survivor. Like Julian Bashir a century later, she's [[DoWellButNotPerfect holding back]] to not draw attention and doesn't give details on just what is entailed by "colony ship" when talking about her past. Dr. M'Benga may be aware of it and is keeping it a secret as well. In addition to curious quirks in her backstory, she can be seen in the premire episode "[[Recap/StarTrekStrangeNewWorldsS1E01StrangeNewWorlds Strange New Worlds]]" in a blink-and-you-miss-it moment inflicting a Vulcan Neck Pinch attack on one of the Kiley scientists that witnessed the epigenetic disguise wear off on Spock. No human has the hand strength and precision of dexterity to do that. No ''genetically baseline'' human, that is...

* Dr. Piper might have what the military refers to as 'time in grade' over M'Benga. What this means is that they could be of equal rank, but Dr. Piper might have been promoted to said rank a year before M'Benga, making him the superior officer. Another theory could be that when Pike does get injured, M'Benga (obviously being a close friend) might take a leave of absence to help care for him, and in the meantime, Piper, then later, McCoy, come aboard as the CMO of the ''Enterprise''.

[[WMG: Kirk comes aboard as second or first officer]]
It's already been announced that Creator/PaulWesley enters the role of James T. Kirk in the second season of SNW, yet the producers keep clarifying that Captain Pike will remain in charge during the series. It seems likely that Kirk will show up as a mid-level to senior officer, probably a lieutenant commander or commander from the ''Farragut'' or another starship, and work his way up to succeeding Pike as TheCaptain. It's also entirely possible that Number One might earn her own command at some point in the interim, creating a vacancy as the executive officer of ''Enterprise'' that allows Kirk to be assigned to the ship.
