Star Trekkin' Across the Universe

[jedibuttercup]

I'm watching a few old TOS episodes to refresh my memory today. For various reasons, I've started with "The Conscience of the King", and OMG. *laughs* I'd forgotten just how accurate Pine's portrayal of Kirk's behavior with women really is.

The science can still go hang, but every time I watch the movie I get even more impressed with all the love and detail they lavished on the remake in other ways. I love this 'verse, I really do.

... The adolescent Hogwarts escapees writing "Supuhura" and "Spirk" fanfiction, however? *wince* Overall, the quality of new Trek fanfiction on LJ has been extremely high and very enjoyable, but there are already a couple of comms I think I'm going to have to defriend before they harsh my squee.

Kirk got around, all right. There were a few eps where Scotty, McCoy and Spock "got the girl," but mainly it was Kirk.

And he really didn't care what age or species they were, did he? So long as they were attractive, and attracted to him.

But he still looked for emotional support from Bones and Spock. He's really kind of a fascinating personality construct.

Maybe it was from a Roddenberry interview, but someone or other once said that McCoy was Freudian Emotions (id? unsure of term) and Spock was Brain and Kirk balanced the two.

Kirk wanted desperately to contribute to the gene pool, but outside of a miscarriage suffered by his wife in one ep, he failed until the second movie ST. I think I prefer Star Wars Jedi rituals stories, where they have to have sex and it's do it and go.
