Seeing Anson Mount’s Captain Christopher Pike proudly perched in the venerable Federation starship's center seat as a puppet, complete with his epic head of silvered hair, is truly a rare sight to behold.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will feature a puppet-themed episode in its fourth and penultimate season, which recently wrapped filming. It will see members of the U.S.S. Enterprise crew, including Pike, as puppets created by Jim Henson ’s Creature Shop.
