What in the Universe is Kirk doing! Maybe rescuing a ship that's caught in the stars gravity well... who knows.
No story here, just wanted to do something dramatic... and non combat oriented. Been seeing too many images of combat in the Trek Universe. That's not what Star Trek was ever about.
Remember when we were Explorers? I do...

I remember the intro to Star Trek: Voyager where the Voyager went through the flare.  Years later I cringe when I see that because the ejection would actually take days to do, so no real crazy stunts there.

And though JJ's Star Trek movies were heavy on action and comedy, it still maintained the aspect of the human adventure.  How it dives into us for inspiration.  NOT with how it literally relates to us, but it allows us to travel with them.  To explore ourselves while we explore the stars.

And I always felt that's what Star Trek was.

I felt like DS9 lost that aspect of Star Trek with the Dominion war.  It didn't have that sense of heroism, but more like that we have a duty without feeling the passion for that duty.  Voyager felt like it was 2 dimensional and forced the relationship between us and them.  Enterprise's premise was of course the formation of the Federation.  But once again it felt 2 dimensional and it was more about forming the Federation, the Prime Directive and so forth.  It also felt like we are a bunch of primitives where everyone else had shields and better technologies, forcing our way out.  I think that Babylon 5 was superior in a lot of ways when they formed the Interstellar Alliance after the Shadow wars and defeating President Clark.

It's also why I am thankful for the JJ movies and the fan based series Star Trek Continues where it brings back the drive of humanity to venture off to the stars.
