Here I go. First that is an Orioin Cadet played by Michelle Nicols (sp?) in bed with Kirk in the trailer. Look closer. As for the juvenile delinquent Kirk I recently read "Best Destiny" by Diane Carey http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Best_Destiny which while I know isn't really Canon, was based on the Prime Universe not the Abramsverse and the deliquent thing made sense. As for time travel, your right its contrived. But can you imagine the riots if everything looking different wasn't 'explained'?
