My opinion of bringing back Kirk is already well known...
By The Flashlight

No need to rehash my objection to the idea of squeezing Shatner's bloated mass into a uniform again....

When all is said and done, this will be nothing more than a ratings stunt, providing a brief uptick in viewership. But a series can't be sustained by ratings stunts alone. Enterprise has already trotted out the Ferengi and the Borg, and now we're going to get a farewell tour from TOS & TNG's surviving cast. But what happens when they've run through all the stunt casting available to them? What will be left is what's been there all along - a show with no real direction, no real agenda, no real purpose, no real reason for putting it's cardboard cut-out characters through their paces.

Then again, since everyone seems to be in agreement that this is the last season, perhaps they only need enough stunts to fill up 26 episodes. They're even making it easier on themselves by stretching out each stunt across multiple episodes.

Sorry, I know it seems like an effort is being made to salvage something worthwhile of this show, but Coto and the new writers aren't going to be able to undo 3 years of mindless dreck. Taking a show that heretofore cared nothing for established continuity and turning it into continuity porn just ain't gonna be enough to save it.
