Transporter clone

Ha Thomas Pike

 

[Mudd]

I've never thought they would alter Pike being put into the wheelchair but ever since the Starfleet Academy comic in the 90s I did wonder if there would be some way to have him reappear post-Menagerie, mostly as some kind of telepathic vision of himself, appearing to Spock or Colt or Number One etc.

Or, they cure him post-Menagerie.

The Talosians may be a mostly telepathic society but they can probably come up with a cure for his paralysis given enough time. They did manage to put Vina back together into a recognizably human form even if the aesthetics were a little unpleasant. For a species that had never before performed surgery on an Earth human they managed to bring her back from the verge of death and mangled in a ship crash.

There is a fine line between magic and science.

Magical science is best science.

As thoroughly cooked by radiation Pike gets, it's anyone's guess how much of his nervous system is viably left to fix. The Talosians may opt to leave well enough alone, give Pike an illusionary existence, and let him live out his days happy.

Pike will have no choice but to face his destiny. No matter if he tried to evolve it, it will still happen. He is a Starfleet officer, it is his duty. He can figure out cause the accident before it happen and prevent it. Still it could still happen anyway. It kind of like movie Final Destination.

Sargon's people will eventually move his consciousness in to a jar.

That could work.

Absolutely unfathomably BASED!

 

[Farscape One]

See, and that's exactly why I DON'T want him to avoid a terrible fate. I want a fully realized character who meets a tragic and painful end doing something within his character. But then still gets a sort of happy ending on Talos IV. I want to FEEL IT when it happens to him. The conflict of knowing he did good, for good reasons, and still got the raw end of the deal.

I'm not here for a happy ending. I'm here for the story of a good man who doesn't get a happy ending. And now knows it. But who chooses to be a good man anyway.

That might be the best definition of a hero you can find.
