Star Trek: Lower Decks answered a big question about Captain James T. Kirk's retirement 28 years after Star Trek Generations. Kirk met Captain Jean-Luc Picard in 1994's Star Trek Generations, but the historical team up of the greatest Captains of the Enterprise resulted in Kirk's death at the hands of Dr. Tolian Soran . However, Star Trek Generations gave a glimpse into the brief, restless retirement of Captain Kirk and when that happened.

This means every Star Trek movie starring Kirk starting with The Wrath of Khan took place after the scene Kirk and Picard played through in the Nexus in Star Trek Generations.

&#x2715 Remove Ads Although Kirk believed he deserved the peace and quiet of retirement, Jim still yearned to be on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise where he could "make a difference." Admiral Kirk also turned 49 in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, which means Jim attempted to retire when he was still in his 40s, which was far too young for a man of Kirk's ambition and virility.
