@ValueSubtracted I definitely think the plan is to spin it into a TOS-era show with Kirk. It looks like they're setting up La'an to be a romance with him by giving her an experience like the City at the Edge of Forever, and they've been teasing him and Scotty pretty hard.
I wonder what the format will be though. I doubt they'd just do more episodic Star Trek with Captain Kirk
@ValueSubtracted absolutely agree. One of my favorite DS9 episodes. I love the ones that are complicated for Kira
