Sharing this new interview from a Toronto daily newspaper about the making of the upcoming time travel episode. (Contains light spoilers regarding the places in Toronto visited in the episode.)
The Toronto Star does have a paywall, but a few articles per month are free to view.
This alternate Kirk was born in space and had never been to Earth, so “he was like a kid in a candy shop, and he got to really just sort of explore it and experience it and bask in it. And I loved that they wrote it that way.”
So is this a different alternate Kirk than the alternate Kirk who was in S1?
Yes, it seems to be yet another Kirk as the insignia on his uniform isn’t a delta. He’s also got captain’s braids on his sleeves.
In the end of Quality Of Mercy when he comes to Pike’s cabin that Jim Kirk mentioned Iowa but the question is: was that still the alternate fated timeline or the ‘real’ SNW timeline. I think the former since Pike says something along the lines of “it should have been you…”
I’ve always taken this to mean that Pike and Jim Kirk have never actually met yet—
Unfortunately I think your initial comment is a spoiler for me.
