She could just be on vacation.

Yeah, she could be, but wouldn't that be odd during the middle of shooting? And to a ghost town in the middle of nowhere?
The Earth could also be hollow...
But unlikely.
But unlikely.
One, I would go to ghost towns on vacation and would rather be out in the middle of nowhere than the middle of somewhere.
Two, shooting is happening but taking a break is reasonable.
Three, I have no idea what their shooting schedule is but I'm not going to jump in and go "Western episode confirmed!"
Color me skeptical.
I didn't say anything is confirmed. All I said was that this could point to a western episode. There's certainly precedent.One, I would go to ghost towns on vacation and would rather be out in the middle of nowhere than the middle of somewhere.

Plus, it's fun to theorize.
Fun?
What is this "f-u-n" of which you speak?
Hmmm... Perhaps it's another one of those Yang Worship words that must never be spoken...

No westerns please. They're usually awful.

So it looks like she's in Calico, California. It's apparently an old ghost town out in the Mojave desert.

Could we be getting a Strange New Worlds western episode? It wouldn't be out of line with the rest of the franchise. Pretty much every series has a western themed episode.
There's no where in Canada, at least not this time of year, where they could really get that western look, so it makes sense filming in California.
Worse than musicals? 
Oh, I dunno..... I think Spectre of the Gun, A Fistfull of Data's and North Star have their moments.
Thats all they have
It was part of her reel or whatever they call it. The thing where post are temporary.
It's actually a Borg thing. On Voyager, when Seven was looking after the Borg kids, she told them "fun will now commence."Fun?

Thanks. It clicked for me when Kirk was talking to La'An about concluding as a boy that if his father thought helping others was a thing to sacrifice for, then it must be pretty important. I flashed back to TOS Kirk's conversation with Edith Keeler...
An interesting aspect of "A Quality of Mercy," to me, is that Kirk has become a starship captain in that future, but that he's commanding an entirely different crew and his thinking and tactics have developed through a different set of experiences. So he has similar character predispositions, but doesn't necessarily approach all situations the same way Kirk of the Enterprise did.
I mean, to bring up a perennially favorite "historical personage" from around these parts: where's Gary Mitchell in that variant future, and what happened to him? That may be a personally costly early command decision that Kirk never had to make...

An excellent point. And they certainly underscored lots of reasons why this wasn't "our" Kirk. But at the end of the day, I just didn't enjoy the episode. (That had way more to do with the Romulans than with Kirk. Kirk just got pulled along for the ride.)
Oh and I HATED the FX.

Why? Gary Mitchell just repeated the wildly known fact which everyone in the academy mentioned; namely that Kirk was a stack of books with legs. He didn't come up with that drescription himself.
I wonder if we will see a young Gary Mitchell wingmanning it with Kirk this upcoming season, or if he gets his own spin-off series.
Currently Kirk is trying very hard to be in a relationship with Carol Marcus.
Wesley cited The Autobiography of James T. Kirk, and called it "a great book." That doesn't inspire a lot of confidence that he could carry a "Lieutenant Kirk" series.
I would hardly call it "great." I wouldn't even call it "good." I would call it the weakest of the "autobiography" series, by quite a margin, and the best thing that The Powers That Be did was to have Una McCormack write the "Spock" and "Janeway" entries, and Derek Tyler Attico write the "Sisko" entry.
Granted, the "Kirk" entry is better than anything Marshak & Culbreath wrote, but that's hardly a very high bar.
