It’s been fun seeing so much of Kirk this season, but does that mean he’s now a regular? I don’t see how he could take a position on the Enterprise for years yet, so would that imply he just keeps coincidentally visiting all the time? Starts to strain plausibility after a while.
I hope not. You might be enjoying it, but I think it drags the show down. Kirk already has his own show. Let these characters have theirs.
Yep. I find it a distraction. It’s a character we all know already and pulls the show toward being a TOS Prequel rather than its own thing. A bit of Kirk and prequel hints and stuff here and there can be good, like the alternative timeline “Balance of Terror” which in many ways was about Pike, but there’s some fuzzy “prequel” line and the amount of Kirk, IMO, is starting to cross it.
