The pilot episode with Captain Pike almost reads like a deconstruction of the concept of a Sue. Pike meets the last survivor of a population who is an unbelievably beautiful woman, and he ends up trapped with her in a series of idyllic fantasy worlds. However, nearly every part of this scenario is an illusion engineered by creatures who wish to study him rather than by the woman herself, and in the end they're quite easily overcome when their weaknesses are discovered.

And the woman choosing a world of happy fantasy over the less-perfect real world at the end can't help but draw comparisons with Suethors.
