Doubt it, since when we see her, Kirk is in the shot saying dialogue specific to this episode.
Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x10 - "New Life and New Civilizations"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Best. Line. In streaming Trek."Why is he smiling? What does he know?"
Mendez: You ever meet Chris Pike?
McCoy: What do you mean, ever meet him? Jim Kirk spent more time on the Pike's Enterprise than his own ship, it's all everyone in the fleet was talking about back in the day!
Mendez: Well one of the baffle plates ruptured.
McCoy: Delta rays?
Kirk: Infect him with Gorn eggs, give him a blood transplant from that augment former first officer of his, and get a Chimera blossom from Kenfori and let Dr. M'Benga operate on him. It might give Pike supernatural powers. I mean it worked on his girlfriend...

I think they're saying that they green-screened her sitting in the chair in the background, and just superimposed Kirk's new lines on top of that
I think people have been reading way too much into “he called him Chris” since they introduced Kirk in SNW.
Maybe when Kirk first met Pike when he was promoted and handed off command Pike said “just call me Chris” when Kirk kept repeatedly calling him Captain.
And to show sympathy and be nice after the accident Kirk just called him Chris. It wasn’t like in that moment at the starbase they were in a super formal setting.
Next we'll find out that Liam Shaw was on Riker's Titan every other week before he took command and Riker in fact saw a Borg overrun future through a time crystal that would occur if Riker didn't hand command over to Shaw.
Jeez, I guess that makes sense. Especially why she was out of focus.
This was a really nice episode of Doctor Who with a light twist of Stargate.
As an episode of Star Trek, I need to think about it a little more.

We don't know and people will assume a lot with a little. Kirk always struck me as far too informal with Pike for meeting only once.
How dare you. If this was a Stargate episode it would have been written better.
Continuity Error--
Spock claims he's never mind melded with a human in TOS Dagger of the Mind. This was already shaken with Spock mind melding with the Red Angel who ultimately was a human in Discovery, but there was wiggle room if Spock considered that a true human mind meld with the red angel suit and all. This was also shaken when he mind melded with La'an in Memento Mori and presumably the Vulcan episode, but even THAT had wiggle room as logically La'an may be counted as an augment not a human (and La'an technically was a Vulcan in the Vulcan episode). But continuity is torpedoed completely with Spock mind melding with human James Kirk in this episode. Maybe everything after Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow (where the Eugenics Wars were shifted) really is an alternate timeline (or a "close enough" timeline).

I think it's more reassembling the body so the Evil Spirit can RePossess it.I loved how casually this episode introduced yet another way for the transporter to easily and always resurrect the dead.
I guess we have a few of those to ignore already, so what's one more?
My biggest problem with this that it is so uneven. That is like we have 2 completely different episodes, one on the planet (witch is amazing, looks amazing, feels alien and TOSy in the same time, I loved it visually) with the ancient Gods/evil beings plot and also the love story of Pike and Batel and the farewell, which is beautiful ... But somehow as a whole it does not work. Maybe we would have needed some more foreshadowing of this. To see Gamble being transported out somewhere after 3x05 and also some other little teases of the end of the episodes since than. They tried so hard not to shoe that this is heavily serialized without showing that this is heavily serialized that they lost the essence of that serialization. So as much as I love this episode the same many problems I have with it. So I will go with an 8/10 and that is kind from me ... I wanted to go with 7/10
It's easier to assume it's a alternate timeline that is "similar but different in key ways".
Other wise the Continuity Errors will continue to compound & stack.
If this show continues on from ENTERPRISE then it was an alternate reality long before Tomorrow X3.
An often missed line is that Nute Gunray claims in the Phantom Menace that he's never encountered a Jedi before. The Legends comic book Stark Hyperspace War, taking place before the Phantom Menace, then had Gunray fighting Jedi every other panel. Someone apparently pointed this out to the writers as the Stark Hyperspace War ended with an awkward scene of Gunray claiming that due to the horrific experiences in the Stark Hyperspace War, he will henceforth deny ever having met a Jedi (yes really).
After the Disney buyout and canon reboot, we now have Gunray interacting with Jedi before TPM in the ongoing canon Marvel comic Jedi Knights. They either forgot about the continuity issue or don't care as there's no clumsy attempt to fix it so far (at least Legends tried).
Also, nitpick, but did they say that two starships could output the same amount of power as a Sol-type star?
That is pretty ridiculous. Exactly where is that power coming from? Our Sun converts over 4 million tonnes of matter to energy every second. Pretty sure neither Enterprise nor Farragut has a 10 million tonne fuel tank.
(It doesn't matter than it's fusion vs matter-antimatter, E=mc^2 doesn't care)

Once again this series would have been better served by being in its own universe and not tied as a precursor to TOS. A universe where Pike isn’t destined to a chair that beeps and stuck on a planet where he lives in a fantasy. But that kind of risk is something they’re not willing to do with these shows.
