Removed this:

• And then the expanded universe immediately resurrected [Kirk], putting him in Next Generation / Deep Space Nine era stories that he couldn't have appeared in if not for his temporary death in Star Trek Generations. Bringing him back only to kill him actually revived his career and popularity.
  • It should be pointed out that the Kirk "return" novels were written in part by William Shatner himself...

Not relevant to the Trope.

I also made a few other abridgments in other sections where necessary for Indentation repair.
