It’s been fun seeing so much of Kirk this season, but does that mean he’s now a regular? I don’t see how he could take a position on the Enterprise for years yet, so would that imply he just keeps coincidentally visiting all the time? Starts to strain plausibility after a while.
I kind of assume if they have plans for him it’s a young Kirk spinoff. If they wanted him to stick around I feel like they wouldn’t have closed down the relationship with La’an so forcibly if that makes sense.
