James T. Kirk's (Paul Wesley) first mission as a starship Captain in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 blows away how Kirk (Chris Pine) became Captain of the Enterprise in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek (2009). Directed by Valerie Weiss and written by Bill Wolkoff and David Reed, "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" is one of the most important episodes of Strange New Worlds in Star Trek 's Prime universe canon .

It's startling, but not surprising, how much Jim Kirk's trajectory to becoming Captain differs from what was seen in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek (2009), which took place in the alternate Kelvin Timeline. Chris Pine's Kirk rocketed from a stowaway Starfleet Academy cadet to Captain of the Enterprise after saving Earth from destruction at the hands of Nero (Eric Bana).
