Strange New Worlds Must Still Reveal 2 Important Star Trek Women In Kirk’s Life

Now that James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) has been properly introduced on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the show has the opportunity to reveal two of the most important women in his life – his mother, Winona, and his future flame, Dr. Carol Marcus. Played by Bibi Besch, Carol Marcus was introduced in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan as Kirk’s estranged love and the mother of his son, David (Merritt Butrick). Kirk’s mother has only been seen onscreen in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek (2009), where she was played by Jennifer Morrison.
