EXCLUSIVE: Another Star Trek legacy character is set to appear in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3. This is none other than Dr Roger Korby, who is set to be played by American actor Cillian O'Sullivan. The reveal of Korby's appearance in Season 3 would be no surprise to anyone paying attention through Season 2. Korby, in particular, his future with Nurse Chapel (Jess Bush), was the focus of a major story arc.
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.
