At the “Star Trek Universe” panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the cast and executive producers of “Strange New Worlds” debuted a teaser for the fourth season of the series, which just finished production. It revealed Capt. Christopher Pike sitting on the captain’s chair of the Enterprise — but as a puppet.

Three seasons in, Spock ( Ethan Peck) is indisputably the romantic lead of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. So far he's been embroiled in two overlapping love triangles, a conflicted Vulcan betrothal, and, as of this week, a kiss with the Enterprise's security chief, La'an Noonien-Singh ( Christina Chong ).
