    I agree he’s not the best Captain Kirk, but I did enjoy his performance in the time travel episode (might have just been the writing and La’an performance like you said, though).

    Now what we need is more George Samuel leaving crumbs and annoying Spock energy. I mean, the dude’s only got 8 years or so live… Give our boy some screen time!

        It’s still so weird that they got the one completely charisma-free actor on the show to play Jim Kirk, and yet Sam Kirk lights up every scene he’s in

          I have no beef with Paul Wesley - young Kirk was described as “a stack of books with legs” back in TOS, and I think that comes through in the performance.

          But Sam Kirk is an absolute delight.

            This is a very good point. We’re supposed to be seeing how he becomes the Kirk we know.
