)I didn't know about the centennial flag. In that case, Leila Kalomi should be due to show up this season right? Apparently Kirk moves on pretty quick too with Janet Wallace after Carol ditches him this year, poor La'an. And Memory Alpha indicates Roger Korby disapears this time meaning that his arrival, engagement to Chapel, and disappearance ALL have to happen this season...
Third time's the charm...
Akiva Goldsman Hints ‘Star Trek: The Original Series’ Remake: "We literally have a fantastic cast" in Strange New Worlds
Akive Goldsman has his eyes on the prize as Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ends with season 5 and gets ready to connect to The Original Series.fandomwire.com
What for?
It's already been done. (Twice!)
(But no, it's not going to happen.)
His reunion and happily ever after ish with Vina is a high note.
I'm ok with them doing Section 31 style one off movies (s) with Wesley , Peck etc set just prior to WNMHGB or after Turnabout Intruder .
My instincts tell me no series or movies will be done though. I don't think the new owners are interested and I think research will show Paul Wesley is just not super well received and is not lead material. Which the higher ups probably already know.

The fandoms opinion of Wesley seems to go up with every single appearance. His portrayal in Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow was extremely well received. There is, as always, an extremely vocal minority of fans who simply won't accept anyone in the role but Shatner.

And that’s the faction I pay the least attention to.
I'm not saying Paul Wesley is unpopular. I just don't think he's popular enough. The Shatner thing is part of it but I also do think he just doesn't have enough screen presence. He comes off as a supporting actor. A good supporting actor but a supporting actor nonetheless. He doesn'thave the gravitas you would expect in a lead ( My opinion) . I would still give him a "B" grade for his portrayal . But a foundational legacy character like Kirk warrants an A level performance. For me it's not about being fixated with Shatner at all.

Wesley is fine. No one has asked him to play the lead so why should I expect the lead here? 
Pike in SNW doesn't seem at all like the same person as Pike from 'The Cage.' Spock in SNW doesn't seem at all like the same person as Spock from TOS. Chapel in SNW doesn't seem at all like the same person as Chapel from TOS. M'Benga in SNW doesn't seem at all like the same person as M'Benga from TOS. Uhura in SNW doesn't seem at all like the same person as Uhura from TOS. T'Pring in SNW doesn't seem at all like the same person as T'Pring from TOS. Robert April in SNW doesn't seem at all like the same person as Robert April from TAS.
So why can't Kirk from SNW seem not at all like Kirk from TOS?

Indeed. Pike I'm the Cage isn't himself. Dr. Boyce notes this and it takes Spock's enthusiasm over plants on Talos to start to crack his depressive mood. He complains about a woman on the bridge yet there's one seated at a bridge station.
And that's just Pike. I'm not expecting characters to me exactly like TOS and I'm appreciating the acknowledgement that despite what people think individuals do change over time.
I think the retcon that Rigel VII messes with people's minds and memories and that Pike was on this planet literally just before this episode is enough to handwave this in-universe.
I might even go so far as to say that the whole 1960s look of the Enterprise in 'The Cage' is because it's seen from crewmembers' perspectives who have recently been affected by Rigel VII (since Q&A shows there's really no time to have a refit back and forth).
Then just use IDW's explanation of a refit between Pike and Kirk and continuity is saved.
Made-up people only change based on how the writers and producers change them. It’s not based in any kind of reality. Especially since the ‘over time’ in this instance is only a few years.
Also, Robert April doesn’t go from being white to being black in real life.
Nah, he'll fall into the same vat of chemicals that created the Joker in the series finale of SNW
April's first appearance was in a cartoon from the 1970's.
Amazing that everyone is genetically the same and apparently had the same parents despite the shift in the Eugenics Wars from the 1990s to the 2030s (or whenever they take place now). Except for Robert April I guess.
How is this any different from casting Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury? Or Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent?
