The two leave the Nexus and stop Soran. However, Kirk is mortally wounded; as he dies, Picard assures him that he helped to "make a difference". Picard buries Kirk on the planet, however in Star Trek: Picard's third season (2023), Kirk's body is revealed to be stored in stasis at the Daystrom Institute by Section 31.
Kirk died in the 1994 feature film Star Trek Generations, and he was buried on the planet Veridian III at the end of the film. Therefore, it was a shock when Picard season 3 revealed the Captain's corpse is stored in Section 31's top-secret Daystrom Station facility.
However, Strange New Worlds season 2, episode 3's ending created a big mystery of what happened to Captain Kirk's body after La'an returned to her proper time. Sera shot and killed Kirk before they entered the secret areas of the Noonien-Singh Institute for Cultural Advancement.
In 2293, Kirk vanished and was presumed dead after he saved the USS Enterprise-B from the energy ribbon called the Nexus. But Kirk didn't die; Jim was actually transported inside the Nexus' extra-dimensional reality. But as far as Starfleet knew for the next 78 years, Kirk was dead.
Thankfully, Jean-Luc and Jack's connection as father and son was stronger than the oddly comforting connection that Jack had found with the Collective, allowing them to defeat the Borg Collective once and for all.
In a 2019 interview reported by ComicBook.com, Shatner explained that Star Trek Generations' producer (likely Rick Berman) told him that they wanted to kill Kirk because they "think that The Next Generation will make more money at the box office." Shatner felt he had no choice in the matter because he was also told ...
William Shatner aimed to convey Kirk's final moments with a sense of curiosity and courage, seeking a nuanced interpretation. The actor felt his ad libbed line, "Oh my," should reflect dread and adventure in facing the unknown and death.
Who was the youngest captain in Starfleet history?
Kirk became Starfleet's youngest starship captain after receiving command of the USS Enterprise for a five-year mission, three years of which are depicted in the original Star Trek series.
Captain, James T. Kirk, had an older brother, George Samual “Sam” Kirk, who was working on the planet, Deneva, until he died there (TOS, Operation-Annihilate). George Kirk had a wife, Aurelia, and three sons.
Sam was the older brother of James T. Kirk, who was the one who gave Sam his nickname. When James was given command of the USS Enterprise, he, along with his family, were present when James left on his five-year mission. (TOS: "What Are Little Girls Made Of?")
Sam Kirk did not appear alive on screen until Strange New Worlds. Played by Dan Jeannotte, Jim Kirk's older brother Sam served on the Enterprise of Captain Pike as a xenoanthropologist.
It's possible that the James T. Kirk stored in Daystrom Station may not be the Kirk who died facing Soren in Star Trek: Generations. Rather, he could be a time-travel remnant. It also might be a way to get Paul Wesley's Kirk into a future series like Star Trek: Legacy.
Kirk was killed by Soran in Generations. Kirk's body was buried by Picard on Veridian III under a pile of rocks. That was the last known location of Kirk's body—until “The Bounty.” Since seeing Kirk's body in Daystrom Station, many fans thought it was foreshadowing his potential return later on in the season.
Spock quickly perishes, and, with his final breaths, says to Kirk, “Don't grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh . . .” Kirk finishes for him, “The needs of the few.” Spock replies, “Or the one.”
After Picard met Kirk, he remained as Captain of the USS Enterprise-E for another 14 years before he was promoted to Admiral (and subsequently quit Starfleet in protest) in 2385.
Shatner explained on the talk show that his problem with his original performance — which sees a bloodied Kirk say, “oh my,” before dying — was that the USS Enterprise captain sounded afraid of dying, rather than full of wonder at the prospect of the next adventure. “I think you die the way you live,” he said.
In the original version of Star Trek Generations, Captain Kirk met his end while fighting Soran alongside Captain Picard on the surface of Veridian III. Kirk died when Soran shot him in the back with a phaser.
William Shatner may be the iconic James T. Kirk, but he's one of five actors to have played the role in the Star Trek franchise. As the original screen Enterprise captain, Kirk casts a long shadow in the popular imagination when it comes to Star Trek.
James T. Kirk had a relationship with Dr. Carol Marcus that resulted in a son, but no marriage. While he was an amnesiac on the planet Amerind, Kirk (then known as Kirok) married the daughter of the high priest, Miramanee.
At that time, writer and de facto showrunner Maurice Hurley intended for the Borg to be introduced much earlier, and possibly as an insect race. Hurley was also the writer of "Q Who?" and the person who, basically, created the Borg.
Species 8472 possessed superior bio-technology to the Borg Collective, and used it to swiftly destroy multiple Borg Cubes. Species 8472 launched their own invasion of Borg space, something that Janeway believed to be a major threat to the future of the Delta Quadrant.
