Ok I just saw a gif and

Kirk made a cameo in the episode???

Now obviously I have no context but I’m a bit like… I don’t know. I mean obviously SNW is leaning heavily on ToS but I want it to be its own thing and I don’t want it to artificially limit itself either. Like sure if it’s only going to be say idk a 3 season show then so be it, but if it has more life then I would want more. Does that make sense?

I think there’s 4 or 5 episodes up on Paramount+ now? I’ve only seen the first one still as I haven’t had the spoons. This show is something that I looked forward to/hoped for since the backdoor pilot in Discovery season 2, so I don’t want to watch it if I’m not mentally in a place to really enjoy it. So like I’m behind as UK and doubly behind as I’m not even UK caught up 😂 

But I feel like I love the characters already and so yeah I’m probably being defensive for no reason. I just don’t want them to go all “Kiiiirk!!” and forget about the SNW crew.

Was this the finale? I’m not sure how many episodes in the season

Perhaps by bringing Kirk in they were hoping for a Luke Skywalker Mandalorian-esque reaction 😛
