Me: Star Trek needs to stop bringing back old characters!
Also Me: SNW has done a fantastic job with every legacy character they’ve reprised!
They should never have brought back James T Kirk.
That’s what I originally said too but I really can’t argue with the result.
Same. SNW has been an interesting pattern for me. The powers that be will make creative decisions that I find dubious when announced (Kirk, musical episode, La’an being related to Khan), but each time, the show pulls it off. I think Paul Wesley has done a really good job, “Subspace Rhapsody” is just so much fun, and La’an is literally my favorite character on SNW.

Yeah, all of the recasts have been spectacular with this one exception; I’m fully stumped by Paul Wesley and his take on the character. I don’t need anyone aping Shatner and I love the idea of highlighting the more bookish actual Kirk as opposed to the pop culture image of him, but Ozempic Kirk spends 90% of his time looking bored out of his mind and 10% of his time doing a terrible Han Solo impression that just comes off as creepy. I cannot understand spending so much time on him when literally everyone else on screen sparkles and he has the charisma of wet felt.
I really wish they wouldn’t continue to grow the cast. We’re starting to get into game of thrones levels of simultaneous story arcs. The original core cast was so good.
In this case, I think it would have been weird not to include Korby.
