Number One, captain of the Enterprise
- Thread starter dahj
- Start date
Captain Zarlo!!!! From the Gold Key universe, where Kirk's dad was Colonel Benjamin Kirk, hero of "the Klingon repulsion"Enterprise has seen many captains.
My questions is, who the hell is Zarlo?!
Actually, if Number One didn't beam over to Discovery, she IS captain of the Enterprise until Pike returns. So what's the point of this thread?

Yep. Acting Captain. She took up that role in The Cage while still bearing the rank of Lt.
That being said, they won't break Canon and introduce a 4th Long-term Captain of the 1701 before the movie refit.
It's always been April, Pike and Kirk.
If Spock and Pike are joining Discovery, Enterprise will be in Drydock.
Just as they would never break canon - apparently defined as "minor, passing in-continuity reference of interest to some players of Trivial Pursuit" - by introducing a starship Enterprise before NCC-1701.
Pike's joining Discovery. Spock's on leave. You think Waldo is commanding Enterprise?

But the question is....When?
No red alert light and dedication plaque on the wall by the turbolift:
Those two items are now in place, but the color scheme is as it was and the monitor displays are still Cage configuration. Yet the chairs are the later style:
Color scheme has changed and monitor displays have also been changed, but chairs are earlier style:
Nope...

The second picture isn't "canonical."
This is Warped9's handy work.
Ah, okay. I can see that as the years pass if there is nothing to immediately identify altered images, it will cause more and more confusion. Maybe a small watermark or something would be a good idea.
On the other hand, it shows how crafty he can be with altering images. There's a thread buried deep in the TOS Forum with all the stuff he did (assuming it wasn't pruned). It was titled "TOS Scenes that would've been nice" or something to that effect.
Umm, nope.
It was always Kirk until "The Menagerie" told us about Pike. It was then always Kirk and Pike until "Counter-Clock" told us about April. But there never was any "just" there. And never any sort of a limit on the "until".
No Star Trek adventure has ever involved anybody specifying how many dozens of commanding officers the Enterprise has had. There is no known limitation, and e.g. no particular reason to think five skippers would not have held the command position between April and Pike, or between Kirk and Spock, or between Spock and Kirk.
The only thing currently ruled out in dialogue is somebody other than Pike handing over the ship to Kirk originally, because Kirk himself says in "The Menagerie" that it was Pike who gave the ship to him. Which is the one thing making Number One's becoming I Am Not A Number, I Am a Longterm Captain! slightly problematic.

Was there ever a detailed list of all the captains or are you basing it on what you saw in certain episodes? All you're doing is making an assumption based on available knowledge, but it was incomplete so Discovery is just giving you new information. Now it's April, Pike, Number One, Kirk and it always has been.
