Additional information: “Our mission? We explore.” With those words, Captain Christopher Pike set the tone for the crew from his center seat of the U.S.S. Enterprise as they began their duties in “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.” Press the button on this Christmas tree ornament to hear memorable lines from the show as the Federation starship makes the jump to warp speed. Battery operated.
Pros: Early sneak peeks had fans concerned about Pike’s wild-eyed expression, but the final design turned out impressive—especially with Pike’s iconic hair stealing the spotlight just as it should. Captains in their chairs are becoming some of the standout Hallmark ornaments, raising hopes for future characters like Q in his throne.
Cons: Some collectors might find it odd that the ornament includes dialogue from characters who aren’t physically represented, which could be a bit confusing or distracting.

Captain Pike Ornament Transcription

Uhura: We are cleared for warp, sir.

Ortegas: Course, Captain? What’s the mission?

Pike: Our mission? We explore. We seek out new life and new civilizations. We boldly go where no one has gone before.

Uhura: Cool…sir.

Pike: Let’s take her out, Lieutenant Ortegas. Warp factor two. Hit it.

“Strange New Worlds” Season 1, Episode 1

What you hear is what you get. 🙂 I was happy to be allowed to pull voices from multiple characters for the audio storytelling despite only Captain Pike being represented in the ornament. I’m looking forward to doing that more.

2024 Star Trek Ornaments Presented by Kevin Dilmore

To celebrate Star Trek: The Next Generation, we have two ornaments:

  —Dr. Beverly Crusher from the series available in October. This ornament features the Enterprise’s Chief Medical Officer in her lab coat rushing to a medical emergency tricorder in hand. This is the first non-Magic Keepsake Ornament produced of an Enterprise-D crew member since 1997 and it’s certainly time to get back in the habit of doing so.

  —Spock and Data in a scene from the Season 5 episode “Unification II” available in October. This ornament features sound from a conversation the two share in the episode that aired in November 1991.

To celebrate the five-year anniversary of Anson Mount assuming the role, we have Captain Christopher Pike from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds available in October. This ornament features dialogue and sound effects from the final moments of “Strange New Worlds,” the pilot episode of the series.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Trek Generations, we have the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B available in October. (Yes, finally.) This ornament features light effects activated by pushing a button.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of GalaxyQuest, we have the N.S.E.A. Protector available in October. Is this a Star Trek ornament? Well, no. Will Star Trek fans want to add this to their tree? Absolutely.

To celebrate the 45th anniversary of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, we have two ornaments:

  —Spock wearing the standard duty Starfleet uniform introduced in the mid-2270s as a miniature ornament available in October.

—The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 refit as a miniature ornament available in October.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the completion of “The Cage,” Star Trek’s first episode, we have The Keeper available in July.

Artist Inspirations: Pike (2024)

Note: Product on display is still in development and is not final.
For presentation only. Design and product may vary.

Although we are months away from seeing the 2024 Pike ornament it is never too early to look for the artist’s inspiration. The captain’s chair is a huge part of Star Trek mythos and it is welcomed that Pike (and chair) is being immortalized in ornament form. Hallmark has sculpted a captain in the captain’s chair three previous times (unfortunately, Janeway, Sisko and Burnham were not “caught” sitting down).

2024 Pike, 1995 Kirk, 2003 Archer, 2017 Picard and Data

The inspiration of Pike’s pose predates Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and comes from Season 2, Episode 14 of Star Trek: Discovery. Pike is seen (below) with his legs crossed and take notice of the distinct positioning of his hands. It is nearly identical to what can be found on the ornament.

Star Trek: Discovery Episode 214 — ‘Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2’, Source: TrekCore.com

In the Discovery episode (above), Pike is is not wearing the uniform that he will don in Strange New Worlds and his hair has not yet become the sculpted masterpiece we will come to know and love. It appears Hallmark kept the pose from Discovery but changed the uniform and hair details to match the Strange New Worlds publicity photo (below).

Publicity still by James Dimmock

I’m always impressed by your eagle eye, pal! Yep, those were the precise references.

But what episode did I pull the audio from? Huh? 🙂

-Kevin Dilmore

Here’s my guess…

“Maybe that’s why I’m here, to remind you of the power of possibility. Maybe that’s the good in seeing my future, that I might remind you that right up until the very end, life is to be worn gloriously because, until our last moment, the future’s what we make it.”

-Pike, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 Episode 1

I’m guessing it is safe to say it’s not from Subspace Rhapsody.
