Yeesh, stickler for canon my butt. Kirk’s been in the nexus (as has Picard) and as it was explained in the movie itself, some part of them will always be there (just like Guinan). Ergo Kirk is not actually dead nor can he ever be…

Stupid movie that it was, the loophole is obvious don’t ya think?

Shatner could play Kirk’s father OR grandfather. Or at least they should use his voice in the new movie as a fond gesture to the original show.

it would be interesting if shatner played kirk’s father. if they didn’t get along would add an interesting wrinkle to kirk’s character. after all there is absolutely no background on kirk’s family (as far as i know, and i’m no trek expert).

Please, Please, Please do not put this guy in the movie! It’s over with, move on to a new take on the series. It’s bad enough what Harve Bennett ,et al, did by turning characters into caricatures. Personally, I have a problem even with Nimoy or anyone from the original cast being in it, let alone the rumored time travel thing. But now that a real director is involved, actual characters have an actual chance of erupting out of something.

Cool. The ghost of Captain Kirk in Star Trek 90210 :)

The Shat can come back. Any Trek fan knows time-travel opens up all sorts of possibilities. Canon be damned.
