Me: Star Trek needs to stop bringing back old characters!

Also Me: SNW has done a fantastic job with every legacy character they've reprised!
- I wanna see Curzon Dax in SNW. Pretty sure the timetables match up there, given he negotiates the Khitomer accords.
  
  Emony Dax got handsy with Bones in the 2240s, and Audrid died in 2284.
  
  In SNW's 2259ish setting, it should be one of those two.
  
  I love that idea!
- They should never have brought back James T Kirk.
  
  That's what I originally said too but I really can't argue with the result.
  
  Yeah, all of the recasts have been spectacular with this one exception; I'm fully stumped by Paul Wesley and his take on the character. I don't need anyone aping Shatner and I love the idea of highlighting the more bookish actual Kirk as opposed to the pop culture image of him, but Ozempic Kirk spends 90% of his time looking bored out of his mind and 10% of his time doing a terrible Han Solo impression that just comes off as creepy. I cannot understand spending so much time on him when literally everyone else on screen sparkles and he has the charisma of wet felt.
- I'm with you on the first part.
I really wish they wouldn’t continue to grow the cast. We’re starting to get into game of thrones levels of simultaneous story arcs. The original core cast was so good.
- In this case, I think it would have been weird not to include Korby.
