News Strange New Worlds casting/new characters

Having Kirk on Strange New Worlds would miss the entire point of the show. I would be tempted to drop it after it happened. Pointless exercise.
You know what the show is going to be about then?

Why not dish next week's Powerball numbers while you're at it?
 
There isn't "a point to the show" beyond the producers intent to service another portion of the fantasy.

That's like saying that it misses the point of setting STD before Kirk to have the ship catapulted into the 32nd century. SNW will make up "what the show is about" as they go along, based on audience response.

After awhile, the publicity value of adding Kirk to the show in some capacity will be irresistible, same as bringing Spock onto STD.
 
Nope. Sinclair leaving was because the actor left. Had that not happened, Sinclair would’ve continued to the end.

Yep. And Sheridan picked up most of Sinclair's original arc, including hooking up with Deleen.

Kirk will likely serve aboard Enterprise under Pike's command at some point.

Great gnashing of fannish teeth will ensue. :lol:

Oh for sure. Kirk will be part of the show as soon as season two, I predict. If not as a guest star, as a recurring... then maybe a regular.
 
When they remake The Menagerie they're going to have to add in a new line for Kirk where he says he met Pike once when he became a fleet captain, and also served with him for five seasons.

No they won't.

Given the STD approach to continuity patches this is an easy one.
 
They could get creative and do like a reverse Lost with fast forwards.

Arrow tried this one season to underwhelming success, but as little faith as I have in these writers, I at least expect them to do better than Arrow.

MENDEZ: You ever met Chris Pike?
KIRK: When he was promoted to Fleet Captain. Then I was transferred to his ship on a temporary basis, where we fought Tholians, discovered that wormhole to the Andromeda Galaxy that mysteriously vanished, negotiated a peace treaty with the Vendorians, fought that epic battle when Section 31 went rogue and tried to destroy Jupiter Station, and we were kidnapped together and put on trial by Klingon rebels. Then I was upgraded to a permanent crew position, where me and Mr. Spock made first contact with the Betazoids...
