They're totally gonna bone.
There's "returning to its roots" and "using the same old, tired, roots." There's plenty of roots to return to without reusing old ones (aside from Spock) with the Pike era. Why play the Kirk Card so soon? Kirk should be the last thing we see in the series and even then I'd say he's silent and we only see him from behind, probably only done with some kind of CGI creation/manipulation so that there's no doubt it's Shatner.
But, sure. Burn that card in S2 with Vampire Diaries guy.
That's not how Hollywood works.
Not with the way Mount has been, no.
I really hope they're not making him a young Cpt. Kirk
You're going to be very disappointed in SNW Season 2 it seems:

That could be the Farragut's ship badge on his uniform shirt. Remember that ENT confirmed that each Constitution-class starship has its own insignia design. If Kirk is still on the Farragut after the Tycho IV disaster of 2257 then that could be what theirs looks like.
I feel like this is having the opposite effect for me, and maybe many of us, than Paramount want/expect me/us to have.
I’m not too fussed with the casting, Wesley’s a good enough actor, and the age difference isn’t too ridiculous looking at standard Hollywood casting practices. I’m sure I’ll enjoy his Kirk somewhat, but I don’t really want him in this series at all, and certainly not as early as season 2.
That being said, I’m going to try to go into it with an open mind, and remember that canon and continuity have never been immutable, and have bent to the whims of the story from the beginning of not just all Trek, but all fiction, and hope that I enjoy it.

That was a retcon of its own. The Defiant crew in "The Tholian Web" were wearing arrowhead badges.
I love it when a franchise comes together.

See now I need the next series to be a Star Trek A-Team, with a whole new cast, aside from Barclay of course.
B.A. won't get on that shuttlecraft so don't even try to make him go!
I'm not talking about the show, I'm talking about the reactions!The show isn't on the air yet and already more interesting than Discovery on its best day.
I'm neutral on SNW itself.
The reactions are driven by a show no one has seen yet. Pretty impressive.
Marketing is to inspire to watch, so I'm told.
This does not inspire.
