He's also way to scrawny to be Kirk! He looked there like he ran few bouts with a tapeworm!
So much for slinging hay in Iowa...Because the showrunners probably want Kirk to appear as a beta male next to Anson Mount's manly man alpha.

1. How would writing a letter result in Pike not being promoted off the Enterprise by 2266?
2. If the whole point of the episode is to show Pike how his fate is inescapable, then it fails. Pike now knows exactly what he will do wrong in dealing with the Romulan incursion, and thus when it occurs again, he can avoid those mistakes, avoid his fate, prevent Spock's injuries, and prevent war. Did this not occur to the writers at all?

1. Once Pike no longer needs to preserve the future he he turns down his promotion in 2264(?) and stays Captain of the Enterprise
2. Movie Era Pike tells him he saw many other timelines on Boreth and if Pike avoids the chair, Spock dies in all of them. If not in Balance of Terror then somewhere else.
We’ll, seeing as how you’re quick to call someone out and passively aggressively tell them they’re wrong, without even being bothered to see if your right first…..Citation needed

USS Farragut (NCC-1647)
The USS Farragut (NCC-1647) was a Federation Constitution-class starship in service to Starfleet in the mid 23rd century. The Farragut was authorized for construction on stardate 0965, and entered service on reference stardate 1/8806. Robert April, in his retirement address, mentioned the...memorydelta.fandom.com
Then watch TOS. All will be revealed. Not to mention, it’s a great show.Canon sources only, please. The origin of the Farragut as Constitution Class is the Starship list in The Making of Star Trek, a list that omits the Defiant, I might add. And as behind the scenes material, it is non-canon.
Then watch TOS. All will be revealed. Not to mention, it’s a great show.
Although the existence of behind the scenes material corroborating what Farragut was intended by the show runners to be gives much more credence to it being a Constitution class than if such material didn't exist, I'll have to concede to Lightning that Farragut's class was never specified on screen in TOS. I scoured a transcript of "Obsession" to make sure.
However, the U.S.S. Carolina, mentioned in "Friday's Child", is an outlier, since it doesn't appear onscreen and isn't on the TMOST list of Enterprise-type ships.
But isn't that because the Klingons made that ship up in order to lure the Enterprise out of the system? In other words, it never really existed.
This exchange shows that it's a real ship, although the distress call is indeed fake.
UHURA: Mister Scott, another distress call from the USS Carolina.
SCOTT: Ignore it.
UHURA: The Carolina is registered in this sector.
Jim Carey did a better impersonation.
