He's dead Jim.....Jim??

The thing is... while they can rez one of the characters (Spock), it'd be hard pressed all these years later to suddenly resurrect Kirk just to have him in a bit part in a movie.

I am not thinking this is set out to piss off old fans. I'm excited to see it come out, and I'm finding little need to speculate until it's out in theaters.
