Paul Wesley plays a Kirk made for the twenty-third century.
James Tiberius Kirk has always been a complicated character — not to mention a bit of a cowboy. In Star Trek: The Original Series, he was quick to use his fists, never hesitated to ignore orders, and was, of course, a shameless playboy. The Kelvin timeline’s Kirk was clearly modeled after this Kirk: he joins Starfleet on a dare, typically solves problems by punching things, and, like TOS Kirk, is eager to jump into bed with females of any species.
However, the good deeds of both of these versions of Kirk often seemed to come from a personal need to uphold what’s right rather than a place of caring for the feelings or well-being of others. In Star Trek Beyond, for instance, when the villain Krall kidnaps part of the Enterprise crew, Kirk risks his life to save them because "Starfleet doesn't leave people behind.
The 'Strange New Worlds' Version of Kirk Encourages People to Open Up If you were going to pick a Star Trek character to try to crack hard-nosed La'an's tough exterior, most people wouldn't immediately jump to James Kirk. Yet that's exactly what happens in Season 2, Episode 3, "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.
You also might not be inclined to select Kirk as your grief counselor, but in Episode 6, "Lost in Translation," he helps Uhura finally come to terms with the deaths of Hemmer and her family.
