That’s just how Abrams rolls, and it totally works for the guy and the movie.

Shatner's Kirk went through the academy most likely between the ages of 18 and 22. He graduated served on a variety of ships and worked his way up to the Enterprise; in other words, he earned it the old fashion way. Whereas, Pine's Kirk entered the academy around the age of 25 or 26 and was given the Enterprise as a prize; he never had the chance to make the mistakes that junior officers make in their early careers. I think this speaks to the maturity level of Pine's Kirk.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08930280538171754736noreply@blogger.com
