repost my original comment from last night's failed thread:
Canon purists are making leaps about the placement of the eugenics wars. Sounds to me like they’re blaming the Temporal Cold War for changing things.
Must be pre USS Relativity time agency…
Fun episode, but the gymnastics to tell Kirk stories without impacting TOS is getting a bit obvious, this is our 2nd alternate Kirk
Seriously. They need to stop giving us time travel stories to shoehorn Kirk into the series. Let it stand on its own without having to hearken forward to the Original Series.
It's a good show, and it deserves to be its own good show.
my only thought about why they are so desperate to have Kirk around is that if the show runs long enough they intend to have Pike's accident during the series, and then tell the final 2 years of Kirk's original 5 year mission? I'd be up for that
I agree. SNW has a really strong cast, and great writers. The show truly can be episodic without referencing any previous canon and still be fantastic and even appreciated more by new watchers of Star Trek.
