The year was 2004, a full decade after Kirk’s tragic on-screen death in : Generations, and Enterprise showrunner Manny Coto was looking for a way to breathe new life into a struggling show. His idea? An epic Mirror Universe story that would reintroduce the legendary William Shatner as the darker counterpart to the Federation’s most iconic captain.

The concept — developed with longtime Star Trek novelists Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens who wrote a series of novels with Shatner including Star Trek: Spectre — would have followed ‘Emperor Tiberius’, the Mirror Universe version of Kirk first seen in the novel. The story would’ve seen him stranded in the past, forced to team up with Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) and the NX-01 crew in an uneasy alliance, the two leaders reluctantly working together. The story would have served as both a sequel and prequel to the Mirror Universe — revealing how the Terran Empire came to be.

The plan was certainly bold and fittingly theatrical, pretty damn perfect for Shatner, whose performances as Kirk have always been just that tad bit over the top… It’s easy to imagine Shatner fully going for it with this role — his signature mix of charisma and melodrama turning into a scene-stealing performance as Emperor Tiberius. We imagine it would have been a cameo of epic proportions. Seeing Shatner go the full hog, hamming it up and embracing the swagger that made his Kirk so iconic, while exploring a darker version of the character, could’ve turned a simple guest appearance into one of the most memorable episodes in Star Trek history.

It might’ve been just the kind of nostalgia Enterprise needed to survive another season.
