He’s completely normal in the IDW comics. 😉
Honestly, I kind of want Kirk to stay dead regardless of how they do it.
Start your impulse engines.
I like OpenStreetMaps's solution. (Though you'll have to dig a little - they don't show names for large bodies of water like that by default.)
I do admit that while I found the plot ridiculous, I did find the character's story interesting. It's hard to go wrong with holodeck episodes, honestly.
I though of an interesting story based on that where from childhood, someone accidentally lives an entire simulated life based on the real world 20-40 years in the past and becomes a Starfleet officer in the simulation (down to a fake 4 years at the Academy, maybe with holo Boothby). The holodeck then gets shut off by real Starfleet officers. Besides the obvious emotional story, it would also be interesting if the simulation was accurate enough that the person's experience made the captain decide to make them a provisional officer at the end of the episode.
I guess you can always remember the skin balloon from Doctor Who... unless you've never watched Doctor Who, in which case forget I ever said anything.
If you go to their website, there is a picture of a Tendi, but it is mildly terrifying. You have been warned.
Meanwhile in that timeline, the butterfly effect causes Harry Kim to pursue the command track; he graduates early in 2369. Then he:
- Becomes captain Vendome-style 2370
- Somehow does so well on his first command that he hits admiral in 2375
- Keeps worming up the admiral ranks
- Is tapped as head of Starfleet operations in 2378.
- Becomes Federation president in 2390 (all that Mars and Romulan crap sort of got butterflied out)
- Right near the end of his second term in 2398, he accidentally ascends to godhood.
- Maintains peace and order from a distance in the universe over the centuries.
- Becomes supreme master of the multiverse several millennia later (well, one of them, anyway. They have shifts, or at least the non-linear equivalent.). In his ultimate omnipotent Kim wisdom, he sends several "lesser" Kims the way of one William Boimler to aid him on his quest to save reality.
All hail Tapestry timeline Kim!
In the words of the wise doctor (and, funny enough, the Memory Alpha quote on the page for the class): "I didn't spend 7 ing years on a g d** Oberth to get knocked down to station physician!"
Chief O’Brien visited the ship, so the universe did its thing.
