"I have, yeah. Nice enough guy, but he's a dead ringer for my...for someone from my world."
Can't even say it's someone Jim knows, what with him never actually having the chance to meet his father. Everything he knows of George Kirk is nothing but legacy and stories. How fitting for the man who resembles the late George Kirk to be so much more than just a man. It fits the long shadow his legacy has cast over Jim.
"Vulcans live the longest out of any of the Federation species, and Spock is exceptionally old for his kind. On average the rest of us generally only live to be about a hundred, give or take a few years." It won't occur to Jim int he least that human life expectancy isn't that much in other times or on other worlds.
