Maybe they could do a feminist star trek where they beam him onto Dr. Phil and He would have to listen to EACH AND EVERY woman He cut out on.Meanwhile,Uhura could take the captains chair and get the Romulans and Klingons to cry and hug.

He did seem to have commitment phobia, but that is why u should show a how that could have formed from his relationship early on with Carol Marcus. If he found himself too involved and willing to give up his goals only to be rejected, then all he is left with are those goals of being a captain so thus that is where his attention was left at.

Didn’t they kinda allude to the fact that He was a self-absorbed narcissist in undiscovered country?

Wait, of course! Kirk tells Rand about his love when he says he already has a lady in his life and her name is Enterprise. Aye, Cap’n.

The love of Kirk’s life was Edith Keeler. Or was it Marlena? Oh, this could take a while to wort through…

Oh dear God I hope that crap about “Carol Marcus” is allowed to remain dead and buried. Ha ha, James “Tomcat” Kirk knocked up a gf and has an effeminate son who dies of AIDS. Ha ha very funny for 1986 or whatever year it was. Never mind that birth control would be fool-proof by the 23rd century.

The Kirk character was supposed to be a decent man, not the “anti-hero” or the “false hero” or the “imperfect hero” that self-doubting Baby Boomers so loved as they contemplated their navels while getting stoned avoiding military service in Vietnam. (That unnecessary subplot was nothing other than psychological projection of the script writers and the editorial team.)

Besides, the love of Kirk’s life was “RUTH”.

I think this is the site for you:

TrekBBS.com. We can discuss it in the Future of Trek forum.

As for Weisman: Heck, yeah! Marshall was the bomb.
