They should never have brought James Kirk into this series.

Disagree, although I do think they've overused him. His appearance in an alternate timeline future at the end of season 1 was a nice idea to nod to Kirk's role in the prime timeline version of those events. But bringing him back again twice more in the first six episodes of season 2 has made him feel less like a cameo and more like he's becoming part of the main cast.

Lost in Translation - where he interacted with many members of the Enterprise crew (as opposed to just Pike or just La'an, and both times via timeline shenanigans) - felt particularly egregious. Although I did enjoy the episode.

I like it, I like how they’re trickling in TOS (2nd pilot) characters and filling in the blanks between the two TOS pilots.

Yep. I enjoyed the first two appearances (the two alternative timeline episodes). But yea Lost in Translation crossed the line for me. I like SNW and its characters and Kirk can be a distraction. I like the connections they’re making to TOS, but overall it would have been nice if it were more a background thing that happened here and there.

With Lost in Translation, it was pretty clear Kirk is a character in this show (I guess we’ll see how much more) and it pushes SNW into “hard prequel” territory that is, for me, a little grating and shallow. Seeing Kirk’s and Sam’s relationship was … fine, I guess, but I’m way more interested in the SNW crew.

I’m less concerned with that than I am with making a descendent of Khan Noonien-Singh a love interest.
