Spoilers Legacy character announced for SNW

[The Old Mixer]

It's a meaty adventure/drama, with the building of the transcontinental railroad as its setting.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Great, great show. I now have Cullen Bohannon as an ancestor of Pike.

It erased the stench of Inhumans.

 

[BillJ]

It erased the stench of Inhumans.

I never watched that one.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Inhumans was just crap in general.

Dang. I don't know.

Can't hear "Hell on Wheels" without thinking of this song:

Hmmm...well, not a fan of Westerns or railroads but that sounds different.

I can only think of this song

Ooff...Colm Meany's speech. I don't usually use the word "cringe" but I got no better descriptor.

My wife would probably like it though.

You might like it if you gave it a chance...

I'm not sold on it yet.

It was a blind watch for me, only sampled it because I had heard Mount was going to play Pike and wanted to see what kind of actor he was. Fell in love with the show. Mount and Common had a Shatner/Nimoy vibe, just great chemistry between the two.

 

[fireproof78]

Mount and Common

I'm assuming this is an actor?

 

[BillJ]

I'm assuming this is an actor?

Actor, and, I believe, a musician.

 

[JoaquinSlowly]

If you watch the MechaRandom42 video which has a mystery guest on it the reasoning is explained why it could be George Kirk even though you say the actor has admitted he playing Kirk he may have got confused between J Kirk and G Kirk if has never seen ST.

The timeline is analyzed and it has videos of Wesley going into his trailer and live shooting footage.

Paramount has confirmed he’s playing James T. Kirk, and the actor mentioned how much of an honor it is to be filling Shatner’s shoes, he’s most definitely playing Jim, not George.

And without watching the video, ‪‪I can dismiss any “analysis” of the timeline because Kirk would be 26-27, not 18, in SNW. No matter how long the video is, there’s no looking at the timelime that places Kirk at 18.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Yeah, Common is his stage name as a rapper (formerly Common Sense).

"Damn it, Elam!"

 

[Mike Doyle]

Yeah, but I'm not really going by canon, I'm going by common sense. Kirk got a pass in the Abrams films because he ended up saving Earth and the Federation from a unique threat. Beating the same drums in SNW is going to come across as really unimaginative.

There was just a huge war with the Klingons. Wars lead to the advancement of young people into command because 1. They have opportunities to distinguish themselves which Kirk likely did and 2. Existing commanders are either casualties or reconsider their career and leave.

Thank you. Wasn't sure if it was a name.

Or promoted.

Inhumans was just crap in general.

Except for the cast.

Kirk was the youngest captain in TOS lore before the Kelvin movie came along and moved things back. And in the TOS timeframe he probably joined Starfleet at 17 instead of 22. That's 5 more years of grinding.

IIRC Diane Carey's Enterprise: The First Adventure has Kirk become captain at 27 or 28, he was second officer of the U.S.S. Lydia Sutherland and took command when a crisis killed or incapacitated the captain and first officer.

Vonda McIntyre wrote ENTERPRISE: THE FIRST ADVENTURE and she had Kirk promoted to Captain of the Enterprise at age 29.

Vonda was also the one to posit that Kirk's parents were named George and Winona, and she's the one to have added Junior to Kirk's brother Sam's full name. In Vonda's novel, Sam was seven years older than Jim, and George Senior didn't live long enough to take command of the Enterprise, having apparently gone missing some years before.
