Do you think we might see enterprise under Pike on the show?

I would enjoy a Pike send off or cameo. I think it would be a lot of fun and might result in a spin off depending on popularity.
 
I know Vektor made a phenomenal Enterpise model that blends modern takes and the old school look. It all boils down to model fidelity and detail anymore talking in terms of HDTV and 4K presentations. Image Below:

This is the kind of 'redesign' I would have liked to see in the Kelvin universe...
 
It would be a fun way to connect the show to what has become before. I got to admit I like this idea better than using Archer which is something I have heard might happen at some point. I wouldn't even mind seeing a another actor playing a young Spock. It could be anything from a cameo to maybe even a backdoor pilot for a spinoff if the current show is a success.

I personally wouldn't mind seeing that. It'd be an extremely nice way to connect DIS with TOS seeing as DIS is meant to be 10 years before TOS. Makes perfect sense and wouldn't mind seeing two new actors playing young Kirk And Spock.
If the Enterprise is to be see it may very well be under the command of her original captain Robert April at this point and that would be fun to see.!
 
^ actually by the time DSC takes place, April has already handed over the Enterprise to Pike. We have no idea what April did afterwards, although he didn't have to retire; we could see him as a fleet admiral or something.

Oh and if so, I vote this: Michael Palin as April. :techman:

Per Memory Alpha, he was a Commodore/Ambassador from 2250-2270. He's around.
 
Guys, clearly the entire reason the show is set when it is is so there can be some fun run-ins with older characters, ships, events etc.

There is no other rational reason to set it in that time frame.

Very true. We already know that Sarek is going to be a regular too. It's not difficult to imagine that they'd cast Pike somewhere down the line. I think that anyone from TOS except for Kirk, Spock and Bones is a potential future character.

Kirk or Spock, but not both, and certain not together.

Pike was in command of the Enterprise thirteen years before the first season of TOS, by the time of DIS a different captain might have been in command of the Enterprise.

Kirk said he met Pike when he took command of the Enterprise, not that he took over command from Pike.
Blimey! I didn't expect the Starfleet inquisition.
No one expects the Starfleet inquisition.

OMG !! To an old (yes really old) TOS fan, that is truly amazing. It's faithful to Jefferies epic "Big E" and looks modern and sexy at the same time. Lets see DSC ships with this general design ethos !!
 
...

In The Menagerie, Part I, Kirk specifically says of Pike, "I took over the Enterprise from him."
