[Procutus]

Why does Kirk look like a hobbit sitting in that chair?

 

[NCC-73515]

What a great picture! Kirk's first command literally filling a big chair (like "big shoes to fill").

 

[Finn]

Why does Kirk look like a hobbit sitting in that chair?

He was even younger than Chekov that day.

 

[Procutus]

I guess he has a reputation to maintain. After all, he IS the youngest captain in Starfleet history (at least up to that point).

 

[Okmyx]

So it would seem Cap. Garrovick is already dead and we don't get to see Kirk survive the dikironium cloud. Unless we get flashbacks and mind meld revisitations.

 

[Noname Given]

So it would seem Cap. Garrovick is already dead and we don't get to see Kirk survive the dikironium cloud. Unless we get flashbacks and mind meld revisitations.

That event occurred in 2256.

 

[IMC Headquarters]

Is the title referring to a Vulcan fairy tale? Or nursery rhyme?

In the Forge there lived a sehlat
who roared and roared a lot.
A kindly Vulcan priest
befriended the noisy beast.
He gave it a cuddle
Turned it into a puddle,
Then the priest did drink and drink.
