Wow this continues to go in directions I wasn’t expecting, and wonder if this had been the tv series Phase 2 if that’s how they’d have written Shatner out of it? However things go, I think this is looking to be an awesome story, though I hope this version of Decker is much more up to the captaincy than what it seemed like the TMP version, who seemed to be much more suited to the XO or third officer than a Captain to me.
That’s kinda how he was written in order to make Kirk look so much more impressive, similar to how Harriman was made to look like a bumbling idiot that somehow managed to become Captain of the E-B. I was never a huge Kirk fan, and him in the movies just seems to highlight his arrogance and pettiness.

SPOCK: “Captain Decker, I’ve seen what happens in the next couple of movies and I think we should just let him do this.”
I’m not sure if the Universe is ready for God-Kirk.
