I think Pike will decide, "Who says I should be bound to this future?" and he'll take the first step in trying to change it. Then he'll think he's succeeded and will forget about it... for a little while; until it ends up happening anyway.

This is only a guess. I think that at the end of the episode, Pike will get badly injure and out cold, ending in a cliffhanger. Season 2 episode 1, more Star Fleet ships will arrived, commanded by a Commodore. He will send Captain Kirk to take over command of the Enterprise.
Kind of. I wish Disco hadn't jumped so far ahead for that reason. But, so far, Disco has left a lot of history blank. We haven't really learned about the Dominion after DS9. Other threats, etc. There's still a lot to fill in.
If I had my druthers, they'd only do new series that follows after the previous. They could strategically do smaller time jumps to mix things up. Like with TNG being 100ish years after TOS.
But no one asked me!
That's exactly what happened for Disco S2. Completely unoriginal. I hope they don't do that.
Yup it was a boneheaded decision for them to go so far into the future. It makes even the 25th century seem less worrisome when it comes to threats to earth or the federation.
Yep. Rather have a good story than attempting slavish adherence to the Prime timeline.
MENDEZ: You ever met Chris Pike?
KIRK: When he was promoted to Fleet Captain.
I think Pike will get a field commission to fleet captain, albeit it may be temporary.
They made that decision based on the overwhelmingly positive response to the "Calypso" Short Trek. So it wasn't a 'boneheaded' decision. What they did once the were in the 32nd century, however, can be interpreted by the individual viewer.
