I call him Jim Carey Kirk. Am I wrong?

Nope, Wesley's resemblance to Jim Carrey's Kirk (from In Living Color, for those too young to know the reference) was the first thing I thought about too. Fortunately Wesley is doing a fantastic job making the Kirk role his own.

Absolutely. I think he's great. I just keep expecting a joke or silly face.
Yeah I definitely see it after watching the Wrath of Farrakhan sketch.
The next video was this, and I must now share it to purge it from my nightmares.

It's uncanny, really: https://i.imgur.com/j0gZojK.jpg

They should never have brought James Kirk into this series.

Disagree, although I do think they've overused him. His appearance in an alternate timeline future at the end of season 1 was a nice idea to nod to Kirk's role in the prime timeline version of those events. But bringing him back again twice more in the first six episodes of season 2 has made him feel less like a cameo and more like he's becoming part of the main cast.
Lost in Translation - where he interacted with many members of the Enterprise crew (as opposed to just Pike or just La'an, and both times via timeline shenanigans) - felt particularly egregious. Although I did enjoy the episode.
- Yep. I enjoyed the first two appearances (the two alternative timeline episodes). But yea Lost in Translation crossed the line for me. I like SNW and its characters and Kirk can be a distraction. I like the connections they're making to TOS, but overall it would have been nice if it were more a background thing that happened here and there.
  With Lost in Translation, it was pretty clear Kirk is a character in this show (I guess we'll see how much more) and it pushes SNW into "hard prequel" territory that is, for me, a little grating and shallow. Seeing Kirk's and Sam's relationship was ... fine, I guess, but I'm way more interested in the SNW crew.
- I like it, I like how they're trickling in TOS (2nd pilot) characters and filling in the blanks between the two TOS pilots.
I'm less concerned with that than I am with making a descendent of Khan Noonien-Singh a love interest.

I've been seeing him as a Bruce Cambell hybrid

Maybe it's the jawline

Shit. Can't unsee it.

Cast this guy as a Jim Carrey in the past or his son pronto.

Yes. Every time I see someone make this comparison, which is unsettlingly often, I think it's absolutely insane.

James C. Kirk

Every single time I see him show up! Dude looks way more like Carrey than he looks like Shatner.

@Shdwdrgn I mean, the guy’s from New Jersey. At least Shatner and Carey are both Canadian. 🙃🇨🇦

@MooseGas "Spock! Are you out of your Vulcan mind?"

I forgot in living colour foretold this would happen. Is this just a 30 year old slow burn joke?

You are not. First thing I thought.

FARRAKHAAAAAAAAAAN

I had the same first reaction and just thought, huh art imitating art, we've come full circle.

Absolutely not. I have nothing against the actor but yeah. Jim Carey every time.
