[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8575029, member: 7023840"] 1. No. 2. He's too old for this timelines, right? 3. Just no. 4. The biggest problem with prequels is the need to introduce fan service - "Oh, look, I recognize that!" Unfortunately, every time you do that you can create real problems- call this the "Spock's undeclared sister problem." I am not confident that they will use Kirk appropriately, and I am [I]concerned[/I] that they are already announcing this ... it doesn't make me happy about the internal level of confidence in the show. 5. Really, just no. 6. I have no problem with bringing Kirk back- for example, I think Chris Pine did a great job channeling Kirk in the Kelvin timeline movies. And if they want to have another show, at some point ... after all, the Enterprise had a [I]Five Year Mission, [/I]and we never got to see the rest of it ... that would be awesome. TOS first aired in 1966 .... [I]more than 50 years ago[/I]. They're welcome to have a go at it. 7. C'mon. No. 8. I love Kirk. I am really, really looking forward to Strange New Worlds. I love Anson Mount, and loved what they already showed in Discovery, and the ending of the first trailer ... that sound ... I can't wait. But this is the first off-note that has me worried. I don't understand why they are announcing Kirk for the second season before the first has aired. I don't think SNW needs Kirk. I hope that it's just a quick cameo, and that it's not some convoluted "Kirk is actually Number One's half-brother through a secret Romulan plot" thing, and I am more confident in Paramount's handling of the franchises now than I was a few years ago ... but I am worried. 9. Obligatory- my reaction on hearing the news .... from .... [IMG]https://c.tenor.com/_MnGroqJVzMAAAAC/william-shatner-shocked.gif[/IMG] ...to ....
