Kirk's crew - What happened to them?
It seems wrong to have a thread like this for all the spin offs but not for the show that started it. Even though we know what happened to some of them let's speculate about their fates anyway.
Kirk - Not much to say. He's dead and buried. It wouldn't have been my choice for his swan song but there you have it.
Spock - Still in the alternate universe/timeline helping his people rebuild their civillisation until otherwise informed by the new movies.
Bones - He was really old and frail in Encounter At Farpoint. It seems unlikely he would still be alive 28 years later but until someone tells me otherwise as far as I'm concerned Bones is still kicking
Scotty - 23 years after Relics I don't see Scotty still travelling around in that shuttle. He was planning to retire before his transporter accident and I think he probably would have eventually. I'm sure Scotty would have remained in contact with anyone from his time who was still alive in the 24th century.
Sulu - Based on Janeway's comments about him looking nothing like his portrait I have to assume Sulu is dead by the time she joins Starfleet. Chakotay mentions a Captain Sulu in another episode but there's no way to know if it was Hikaru or Demora. My guess is Sulu died sometime between the flashback portion of the Chakotay episode and Janeway joining starfleet.
Uhura - We have no idea what happened to her. I'd like to think she's still alive in the 24th century possibly working in a high position in Starfleet.
Checkov - If Bones is still alive in the late 24th century then there's every chance the much younger Checkov is. Probably still working for Starfleet in some capacity.
