Spoilers The Roddenberry Archive brings every iteration of Star Trek’s USS Enterprise bridge to life

[Ronald Held]

We do not know how long Kirk lived after Spock's death.

I never took this to be an afterlife scenario. If it were, why would they even need to include Gary Mitchell or Yor?

I saw this "short" being teased about, and didn't think much of it. Then I watched it, and will admit, the costumes, the artwork, the CGI, was all very impressive. Then about midway, as my anticipation was building for an actual return of Shatner's James T. Kirk, we got essentially nothing. No dialogue, just some bizarre post-death/transition scene which Gene Roddenberry (an atheist) would have vomited over. I was so disappointed that was where they decided to go with it. Pointless, nothingness. An exercise in what, exactly?

How do you know its post death?

You're assuming things that aren't in evidence. We don't know Kirk is stuck in the Kelvin timeline. Maybe Yor shows up after Spock dies and takes Krik elsewhere.

It's so vague too, another problem I had with it. I'd still be furious they woke me for the death of a friend.

Even if they got Kirk out (did Yor die after 2 missions?) he's still old and out of place.

Let Kirk be fanboy producers!!!

Why did they include half the stuff they did?

TOS is full of references to religion. It was only in the eighties that he became inflexible on the subject.

Lest we remember the original Enterprise had a Chapel (not Christine, of course), established in “Balance of Terror.”

TOS also made reference to a shipboard Christmas party. Data's Day in TNG made reference to a celebration of the Hindu Festival of Lights. Although I forget the specific religious denomination, Kassidy Yates' mother would far prefer that she and Sisko be married by a minister rather than a Starfleet Admiral.

I hesitate to mention the attempts at exploring Chakotay's Native American spirituality on Voyager, because given the fact that their Native American cultural advisor was a culture appropriating fraud, it might as well have been an alien religion. But at least on the surface, an attempt was made.

Yet no Chaplin. Of course its not called a "chapel" in the show, IIRC.
If you want to be pedantic, the ship has three "chapels" as "Kirk" is a Scottish word for church.

McCoy calls it the chapel in the final scene of the episode.

A public flogging is in order.

Hail, Terry, full of grace, the Bird is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst writers and blessed is the fruit of thy pen, Legacy. Holy Terry, Savior of Trek

 

[The Wormhole]

Now say that ten times.

 

[HotRod]

Hail, Terry, full of grace, the Bird is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst writers and blessed is the fruit of thy pen, Legacy. Holy Terry, Savior of Trek

This one I'm saving. Too good.

I think that’s one of the beads on Q’s rosary?

Turtlenecks make anyone look like a cult leader.

You need to make that your signature.

Oh god, it could be an A.I. (that movie from 20 years ago) style 24 hours thing

Kirk is dead, they literally show his grave.
