Spoilers What causes Sam Kirk to leave Starfleet?

They should upset everyone and cast Chris Pine. ;)

This would be awesome.

So, P+ put up a short video trailer promoting the streamer as the "Home of Star Trek." It's a great promo, but...

...every time they'd cut to Nimoy or Quinto as Spock or Shatner as Kirk it took me right out of the thing. :lol:

That would actually be pretty funny/awesome.

As to Sam, I agree with those who say there's no reason to believe he did leave Starfleet, but if he did, I think it'd be because he wants to get out of his dad and brother's shadow by doing something different with his life. Alternatively, maybe he gets out because he meets Aurelan and figures that starship life would interfere with a marriage and kids - again, perhaps wanting to be different from his father in how he raises his kid.
 
He doesn't have to be in uniform all the time. He was stationed at deneva it wasn't permanent
He most certainly could still have been in starfleet.

But again, why were there no other Starfleet personnel present? If Deneva had been a Starfleet outpost, you'd think that at least some of the mobs chasing Kirk and Spock would have been in uniform, even if Sam wasn't.
 
Probably also an unspoken desire to put some more distance between himself and his brother. Also, in Starfleet there was that Vulcan guy who kept yelling at him, and who wants to keep on with that stress?
 
This would be awesome.

It seems to be missing some clips from Star Trek:Orville. What a oversight.

So In the recent episode we see Sam and Jim have a difference of opinion of what a successful career in starfleet should look like thanks to their old man. So I was wondering what do you think causes Kirk to leave starfleet and move to Deneva? Do you think we’ll see that happen in SNW at some point?
Spock asks him to clean up his dishes one time too many.
