If you mean what you should know about Captain Pike in anticipation of the Strange New Worlds series, then forget the Kelvin timeline.

Captain Pike wasn't originally going to be part of Star Trek canon - the pilot episode The Cage filmed prior to TOS and featuring Captain Pike was not originally shown. However, footage from it was subsequently used to form the two-part original series story The Menagerie, which brings the character and the story into canon.

With Captain Pike being a major character in Discovery there are basically three things that cover Captain Pike's story in the Prime universe. In 'broadcast'production order those are:

  • The Cage
  • The Menagerie
  • Discovery

I would recommend watching them in that order if you haven't already seen Discovery. If you have, you'll enjoy the old episodes just as much.

As the events of The Cage had evidently happened before the events in Discovery, the chronological order of Captain Pike's adventures in the Prime universe is:

  1. The Cage
  2. Discovery
  3. Strange New Worlds
  4. The Menagerie

This presumes that the upcoming SNW does not cover and go beyond the events of The Menagerie.
