TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I have a bit of a knee-jerk reaction that Star Trek should be looking forward rather than backward, but I also love SNW so that's obviously not a hard and fast rule. You're right that this could be done well, but I'm very skeptical that it would be.
My biggest concern is that they would over aggrandise the character. Kirk was always a big personality, but he was also very flawed and human. I don't want to watch every other character fawning over the legendary Captain Kirk, or see him battling the Borg at 95.
I also don't want to see an uncanny valley digital mockery, I can't stand those.
But if they came up with something like Relics was for Scotty - an intimate, meaningful story that put a button on the character's life and didn't feel the need to build it up as some galaxy-shattering event - I could be into that. But I doubt that's what they're considering.
I take it you've seen 765874 - Unification? The de-aging is still noticeably jarring, but a worthwhile little gut punch send off.
