I mourned Kirk's death

back in 1994 as an 11 year old and this scene was heartbreaking for me. I was a huge fan of both Kirk and Picard and felt like this was a passing of the torch type of moment. I felt we could use some lighthearted humor today.

that Kirk would somehow survive and eventually rejoin Starfleet. That scene was tough to digest when watching it in the movie theater.
