If anyone could it's Kirk.The fewer legacy character stuff the better. If it happens, there is only ONE acceptable way to explain it.
No Genesis.
No alternate reality.
No space magic.
Just...
William Shatner Confirms Talks for Star Trek Return at 93 Years Old
- Thread starter oktay
- Start date
Doesn't need to be any of those things. Just...
That alone tells us we'll see kirk again even if shatner doesnt reprise the role. Most likely he'll be younger. Not sure if anyone wants to see James T Kirk as a younger man operating in the 25th century without his original crew.
I'm pretty sure that the entire reason they put this in PIC was to foreshadow the Unification project OTOY was doing.
Yes, simultaneously ensuring the project's canonicity, as well as leaving the door open for other potential Legacy-Kirk appearances. Brilliant move, really.
Also right next to the Genesis II torpedo....
I am convinced that the lush planet assumed to be the afterlife is actually the result of the Genesis II torpedo in unification.
My question is who detonated it, and is that possibly Veridian 3?
I also think that it is quite possible if not probable that Gary Mitchell restored his soul after his body was resurrected, much like how Spock was blank until his katra was restored.
Wasn't it already stated that's supposed to be aboard the Enterprise J? Roddenberry Archives do use images of it for Enterprise J's interior.
I have never heard anything like that before.... Saavik still alive in that time frame? I don't know. Yor does throw a wrinkle into it.
Kovich from Disco is also there, and there's a descendant of Beverly Crusher there meant to be the Enterprise J's Captain.
I never noticed Kovich. Interesting.
Descended from Crusher? So Picard too...lol.
I thought that person was supposed to be an older version of Wesley. Where did you hear that he was the J’s captain?
That would definitely make more sense, it doesn't pinpoint the time period since Wesley could probably show up anywhere at this point lol
Well Kirk starts on, what is presumed to be, the Enterprise-J but goes to the Kelvin timeline via Yor. It'll be the Kelvin timeline around the time of 'Star Trek:Beyond', so it's not the Enterprise-J at that point.
Kirk's Wrath of Khan monologue that plays over the scene with Spock and Kirk, plus the Genesis planet-like horizon (you could almost picture the burning Enterprise shooting through the sky) did make me think it was the KT version of Genesis. Others have suggested its simply New Vulcan, as that was where old Spock was in 'Star Trek:Into Darkness'.

I don't see or understand the whole Enterprise J association.
I don't believe it was stated but left open, though @Jules / OTOY could speak to it.
Hopefully not, because I like leaving the J aside, and have it be on a park, with Mitchell giving Kirk a chance to say goodbye, with Yor's help. Some closure is nice.
The pictures in the archive have a park on the J that looks similar to the park shown in the clip, so the association is that the ceremony occurs on the J because of the similar parks.
That's the association.
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.
That was his last official position? Regardless of how long ago....I get why, but kind of weird to see CAPTAIN, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE on it.
