He captained two and it was his last official billet.I get why, but kind of weird to see CAPTAIN, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE on it.
At the time of his death, he hadn't been captain of an Enterprise in nearly eighty years.

^^^ Yep, this.
Potentially three, as I got the impression that Harriman gave Kirk temporary Captaincy to help get them away from the Nexus. Kirk gave it back to him when he went down to the nav array control room.

Could have sworn I read that in one of the interviews, but can't find it now. Huh.
Eh, having command of the bridge in the Captain's absence doesn't really count as a "Captaincy."
All of this Picard/OTOY/STD/Abrams Trek stuff reads like really, REALLY bad fanfic, and I know bad fanfic, as I've been a Trek fan for over forty years.
William Shatner is a personal hero of mine and James T. Kirk is my favorite character in all of science fiction, but I don't want to see Kirk's return if it's anywhere near as messy and convoluted as what's being discussed in this thread. I guess it ultimately doesn't matter since in my head canon, Kirk didn't get trapped in the Nexus and Scotty didn't get stuck in a transporter beam for almost eighty years. Both are truly awful fates for two legendary characters.

Bad fan fic doesn't kill off main characters.
Well, it can, but nobody would care. 
That's the ending of A Trekkie's Tale, from where we get the term Mary Sue. Poor Ensign Mary Sue dies and everyone talks about how she was too good for this sinful galaxy. It's a parody, of course, but it was parodying actual fandom trends at the time, I assume including the endings.
Was she a red shirt?
The bestest, most perfect, smartest and attractive redshirt ever!!!
