Every Cartwright on Bonanza had at least half a dozen dead girlfriends or wives each
Ben Cartwright had three wives, each died on the frontier from hazards that were quite common back then.

BTW: The three boys, Adam, Hoss & Joe were each born of a different mother.
There was eventually a fourth son that was adopted.
 
Oh.

I just had a terrible thought.

David has probably been born at this point, yeah? So Jim and Carol may have broken up? So Jim is available?

And now La'an is interested in Spock. No good will come of this.

For all we know Kirk and Spock have such a strong friendship after both being heartbroken by La'an, they form the "La'an Victims Unit" and then vow never to talk about her ever again.
 
This show already has more than half the TOS crew and they are recycling their stories. Yawn.

They're not "recycling" their stories. They're fleshing them out by providing new information and backstory that's never been revealed onscreen before.

Heck, Uhura had no backstory to speak of prior to SNW and we knew next to nothing about Scotty's past as well, aside from him being a "an old Aberdeen pub crawler."

Likewise for Spock's history with T'Pring, which consisted of only a few lines of dialogue in "Amok Time," and pretty much everything about Chapel's past, aside from a missing fiance in one episode, which was then never mentioned again.

This is all fresh material, and arguably long overdue.

Heck, Uhura didn't even get a first name -- onscreen -- until the 2009 reboot, so I'm not going to begrudge her a moment in the sun now. And it's not as though we've already seen Nichelle Nichols (or Zoe Saldana) cope with her family's death, struggle to find her place aboard the Enterprise, find and lose an Andorian mentor, and even get her own Uhura-centric episodes, which she never got back on TOS.

In short, this is new territory, not just a rehash of what we saw back in the sixties.

They were together at the end of Season 1
