Spoilers About that one vault on Daystrom Station..

[Ronin'sCreamyCandle]

Kirk is not dead. He is project phoenix, transfered into Jack's body.

It wasn't a joke, but it wasn't anything confirmed to be followed up. It's there if someone does want to follow up.

It was a joke, an homage, an Easter egg, nothing more.

That's what we got Paul Wesley for.

Oh good grief NOOOOOO. I like Paul but his "Kirk" flat out stunk.

SNIP!

The Genesis Device (apparently a second version of it according to the screen), something capable of destroying entire worlds and civilizations in seconds and nearly causing a gigantic interstellar incident between the Federation and the Klingons.....
Yeah, it makes sense that Starfleet would secretly keep working on that weapon at a highly classified location under extreme lockdown measures. You know, as a last resorts against some new unknown threat.

The same reason why we still have nuclear weapons, even though we've long since had the technology to do just as much destruction as a nuclear warhead, but without the radiation: just because. Even if they replaced every nuke in the world "officially", there might be a few left in the vault for "research purposes".

They would save Kirk for some "Camelot" type of thing, when, at the time of the Federation's time of need, you get cloned versions of Starfleet's greatest Captains, including Kirk. Problem? Nature vs. Nurture. How much of our personalities and disposition has been shaped by genetics versus by our environment?

The problem is that Kirk was never a solitary operator. He had a great crew and an outstanding XO, but on his own he just flew a desk or raised horses. If anything, the solo-guy was Spock.

It was a joke,

What was the punchline? Where was the set up?

It wasn't a joke.

 

[NCC-73515]

McCOY: You're joking!
SPOCK: A joke is a story with a humorous climax.

An intriguing premise to spur an, in all likelihood, very amazing show.

 

[The Wormhole]

A joke is a story with a humorous climax.

That's what she said.

On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot.
