Do you feel bad knowing Sam Kirk's fate?

[F. King Daniel]

Remember The Final Frontier when Kirk was like, "I lost a brother once..." and we all thought he was talking about Sam but lol no.

"Forget."

Had longer time side effects than we thought.

I doubt anyone involved with the Final Frontier, including Shatner, remembered Sam.

Peter Preston might have been Peter Kirk in an earlier draft but Kirk would have been mid twenties by then and David and Spock were occupying space for Kirk's personal grief.

I feel bad that Kirk’s brother died. But I don’t have the same attachment to Sam that others have developed.

for me he’s just Jim Kirk’s brother.

He gets that a lot.

Hey! I already made this joke!

...did you forget?

It's been...one of those days.

Harve Bennet might have, he was pretty good at the little details.

Sorry to hear that! Hope it stops being one of those days!

Sam was only mostly dead. The follow up team from Starfleet discovered a side effect of the parasites was a state that mimicked death. Sam is okay. That’s why Kirk has never mentioned his death in later episodes and movies.

The Lullaborg League concurs. He was not just really dead, he's not even nearly dead.

Mostly dead...
Wasn’t that a thing?

Mostly harmless, I think.

 

[Dar70]

Nope.

Westley-the dread pirate Roberts.

 

[TRON JA307020]

The actor has really made him a fun and endearing character. One I would even like to see bumped up to series regular. But it also sad because one could say he has a even worst fate than Pike. Dead at a young age. Early 30's I am guessing. His family destroyed.

Probably more late 30s early 40s. He's older that James T.

 

[TRON JA307020]

I'd be happy if only the moustache died.

The think the stache is cool. Reminds me of goose from Top Gun. He was a great character until he died at the middle of the movie........oh.

 

[flandry84]

I’m tellin’ya! Moustache of doom!

 

[Sketcher]

What we didn't see was-

Spoiler: Picard Spoilers

Not only was Jim's body on Daystrom Station. So was Sam's. That's right. At some point both Kirk brothers will be brought back to save the galaxy. They'll spend most of their time bickering though.

 

[Vger23]

Yeah, it sucks. It’s like knowing Pike’s fate after having gotten to know that character better too. It gives the series a totally different feel, that admittedly I kind of dig.
