James Kirk in "Discovery"?

Spock and Pike recommended that "no human" can visit Talos IV. Send Saru and Linus down to the planet. Maybe Spock can go too, but he has to leave halfway through the mission.

The Discovery crew had nothing to do with Talos IV. Also, Pike and the Enterprise crew had already made their visit.


I expect that Commander Kirk will get a shot at captaining the Discovery, and will request Mitchell for his first command.

What a fucking horrible idea.
 
I think Kirk won't be on Discovery. "How can you tell that?" "I trust my instincts." Too many people who aren't too crazy about the show are insisting he'll show up for sure. Not "it's a cool idea" but "he'll definitely show up!" So, because of that, I think he won't show up.

Like I said before, there's no reason in a Discovery context in which for him to appear. DSC doesn't have the connections to Kirk like it has the connections to Spock.
 
How awful would it be, if years down the road, Commander Kirk takes temporary command of DSC??

Captains of Discovery:
Season 2: Captain Pike
Season 3: Fleet Captain Decker
Season 4: Commodore Nogura
Season 5: Number One
Season 6: Commander Kirk
Season 7: Captain Wesley
Final Episode: Acting Captain Burnham
 
Maybe Saru gets to be Captain on another ship instead of on DSC. My impression is Burnham will be the last Captain of DSC.
 
Season 3 perhaps will bring in kirk.

I think all the main TOS cast will be introduced by the time discovery run its course. kirk, mccoy, uhura, sulu, chapel.
