This is the critical aspect for me - the reason that SNW works it is of the now and for a show to continue to be successful it has to reinterpretate the characters in such a way.

In fact, the original board rules encouraged posters to quote only that portion to which their reply was a response, rather than quoting the entire thing:
original board rules said:
If a statement is unclear without the context of the rest of the post, is that really the fault of the person responding?
We do try.

Yeah, they suck.
Don't be infringing on my dept.But do you Blow?
So Kirk is the youngest first officer in starfleet ever? He doesn't look that young. I guess 40 must be the youngest by 2259.
No matter how old Wesley looks, Kirk isn't 40.
He sure looks it.
That he does, but Kirk is still the same character we meet in TOS, so not 40.
“It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.”
Kirk is only 40 in TMP if that says anything.
Shatner still looked young in tmp. Wesley looks about that age or just a little younger. Thing is I'm surprised they didn't get a younger actor. When they start to fill in Kirk's 5 year mission Wesley will be in his mid to late 40s. Kirk I believe was much younger when he first took over the enterprise.
You take that back! That toupee gave the most emotional performance in the film!
"Jim, you need to stop talking about my beard when your hair looks like a Chia Pet banged a Tribble!"
As long as I dont think of him as TOS Kirk, sure he looks young.
And Shatner was 48.
I know you're of the opinion ST:TMP takes place 2 years after TAS - circa 2273/4; but yeah, for myself it takes place in 2279, 10 years after TOS ended (IE Captain Dekker after taking command from Captain Kirk got a 3 to 5 year mission before returningto see the 1701 get its refit.)
2379 is 110 years afterwards. I know that's a typo, I'm just having some fun.
I just go where the preponderance of the evidence takes me, bolstered by the Paramount-Okuda materials.

Both he and Ethan are at the perfect age to portray Kirk and Spock post TMP that's for sure if they ever did a series detailing Kirk's second five-year mission.
