Star Trek: Picard also doesn't look like the alternate futures seen in "All Good Things," "The Visitor," or "Endgame."

If you want to pretend TOS always looked like SNW, that's fine. If you want to pretend TOS looks different due to changes in the timeline, that's fine. If you want to pretend SNW is a reboot, that's fine too.
Everything is fine.

"Teach a man to fish" by providing the Outposts with the means for self-sufficiency ties in nicely with the fish badge worn by Hansen.
 
I like this Kirk better than Pine's (although I liked Pine's for being an alternate universe). I was afraid they'd go too over the top with "Kirk is reckless, Kirk is cocky, Kirk is a bad Han Solo pastiche."

This Kirk takes risk (it's' their business!), but he's also incredibly smart.

Also the implied respect and compatibility between Kirk and Spock before it was taken away, was amazing. :)
 
I feel sorry for the kid in the beginning of the episode. Spock's life is worth more than his. We're heading into "destiny/chosen one" territory usually held by that other star franchise.

Spock helped with peace with the Klingons and his work help save many Romulans from the supernova as well as eventually reunifying the Vulcans and Romulans. The needs of the many and all of that.

And ya know, he’s got a whole ‘nother 81 episodes, 22 cartoons and 8 movies he has to be a part of. Kinda gotta stick with what’s established.
 
So this future happens because Pike doesn’t accept his promotion to fleet captain and stays on the Enterprise. I was a bit confused as how he stopped the accident. They say that it was cancelled but if that was so, it wouldn’t have happened to start with.

I don’t know, age does make a difference. Kelvin Kirk is in his 20s, SNW/TOS Kirk is in his 30s. He probably mellowed out a bit like most guys.

They addressed it in the episode. Pike had contacted all the cadets who would’ve been there and they avoided it, so Pike was never in a situation where he had to rescue them. There was probably still a radiation leak, but it happened in an empty room.
