Similarly, you may ask, does Captain Pike know about the mirror universe?
What you might not have noticed is that Georgiou called her home parallel “the Mirror Universe” for the first time in canon in that episode. And Pike already knew it by that name. So for all we know, he might already have encountered Terrans and learned about the place - and shared the name he'd coined with Georgiou.
Secondly, will there be a captain Pike spin off? It's official! After months of speculation — and wishful thinking — CBS All Access has confirmed that Captain Pike is coming back, with Spock and Number One along for the ride, in the new spin-off series "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds."
Correspondingly, how did Captain Pike end up in a wheelchair?
Having been promoted to fleet captain, Pike suffered radiation damage as he rescued cadets on training vessel USS Republic, leaving him paralysed in a wheelchair and unable to speak.
Why was Pike replaced with Kirk?
When this pilot was rejected, Hunter withdrew from the series, and Pike was replaced with Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner). The second season of Star Trek: Discovery, which is set before "The Menagerie" but after "The Cage", has Pike (now played by Anson Mount) assume temporary command of the USS Discovery.
