Spoilers The Roddenberry Archive brings every iteration of Star Trek’s USS Enterprise bridge to life

That was beautiful, a fitting gift after thirty years!

I Think it's partly real, as they specifically had him interact with a know Kelvin Timeline time traveller to get him to Spock's death bed in the Kelvin Timeline

The brief shots of Spock at Kirk’s tomb, and then the flash of Kirk’s supposed body on Daystrom Station suggests it’s very real, and Kirk has somehow been resurrected. Spock returning the favour that Kirk did for him. Kirk’s narration, “There are always possibilities” is a big hint.

Mitchell is also involved. Kirk’s two best friends moving the universe to bring him back?

Yep, I'm pretty certain that was supposed to be the implication there.

Also,

The interview with Robin Curtis seems to imply that this 'Sorak' was supposed to be Saavik and Spock's son.

Yes, he’s absolutely their son.

There are also some very interesting shots on the blog page, including what appears to be Spock and Saavik’s wedding, Colt in a Kelvin uniform with Kirk and Spock at Spock’s death bed, Colt with Kirk and a younger Spock and Saavik on the Enterprise-A bridge, and Mr Arex!

OTOY, in association with William Shatner and the Nimoy Estate, releases ‘765874 Unification,’ commemorating 30th anniversary of “Star Trek: Generations”

On the 30th anniversary of “Star Trek: Generations”, The Archive and William Shatner revisit Captain Kirk’s final appearance on screen in a new 8-minute video produced for The Archive app on Apple Vision Pro: “765874: Unification”, launched in tandem with new interactive sets and documentary...

Some headcanony interpretation of the short, may or may not work—

Somehow or other, this is the echo of Kirk left in the Nexus — in the Prime Timeline. Yor is somehow making it possible for him to transition over to the Kelvin Timeline to reach Spock on his deathbed — and that’s why he’s being given a silent farewell with all the real-or-imagined figures from his own world first.

So Kirk isn’t in the Nexus…he’s on the Enterprise-J. That is all kinds of awesomeness.

So in that case
he’s resurrected in the 26th century; for some reason holograms of Saavik and her son are there to meet him (they don’t live -that- long, right?), and Yor intervenes to let him cross timelines to be with dying Spock because he’s a big old softie
?

There’s a time traveller there, so I think they are supposed to be “really” there too, and don’t worry about the mechanics of it all.

We don’t even know when the E-J was launched, but assuming it’s the very early 26th century Saavik would be around 250 and her son not much younger. Sarek was 203 when he died. A stretch, but maybe not impossible for a Vulcan with good health insurance.

The way Starfleet seems to go through Enterprises these days, I wouldn’t doubt that the J was launched only 20 to 30 years after the G was.
 
Watching it reminded me of this funny video I found linked in some thread here years back and have been unable to re-locate: It's a day on the Enterprise reflecting real space, where nobody says anything, they keep looking like they are going to, but don't, bridge sounds, Chekov thinks he sees something but it's just empty space. Video goes on for a few minutes.
 
Not for the first time, I'll say that I loved the 2001-ishness of it all. The Unification short was kind of perfect; implication not confirmation. :)

Edit: Michael Giacchino coming in to score it is a fabulous way to tie some things together too.

Now I have to ask why the hell Sam Witwer isn't playing young Kirk in Strange New Worlds.
Click to expand...
It would have to be a Shatner-deepfake thing like here, as Witwer is the age Patrick Stewart was in TNG Season 1; I don't know if it'd be viable, cheap or convincing enough for the amount of screentime Kirk has in SNW. :shrug:

This was beautiful, and I like that the ambiguity means we can imbue it with whatever story specifics we want.
 
I wonder if Yor was put into Discovery knowing this was happening down the line? Akin to Wesley Crusher referencing Prodigy season 2 in Picard season 2 many years before. Time agent Yor was a pretty random addition to Disco season 3, with Kovich/Daniels' little info dump of where and when he was from just seemed like the typical Discovery slightly awkward exposition at the time, but now I wonder if it was a plan all along and they needed to establish someone who could get Kirk where he needed to be, when he needed to be.
