TOS Character Most Like Yourself

[Spock's Barber]

Shatner in one of his books says he based the character of James T. Kirk on a idealized version of himself.

Which TOS character most resembles yourself, not necessarily physically, but rather in temperament or personality?

I’m going for McCoy, since I can be kind of cranky and impatient.

Spock, because I'm frighteningly rational and overly-curious.

Kirk/Spock....and the slash has nothing to do with fan fiction, LOL. In this case, it means an individual who, because of several deep mind melds, can no longer quite resolve which person he actually is. He is an amalgam of both.

Too bad they waited for Voyager and Tuvix to do the blending....whether physically through the transporter, or mentally (at least temporarily) from the mind melds, it would have been interesting to see Shatner or Nimoy take on the task of portraying a blending of Kirk and Spock.

Definitely Mr. Spock. In fact, people have told me that my speech, demeanor and personality remind them of Spock. To which I reply: "Why, thank you!"

Well, "Spirk" sounds silly, and "Kock" wouldn't have made it past the censors.

Actually, if memory serves, "Spirk" was a Vulcan name suggested among a whole list in....The Making of Star Trek, or one of those books about the show.

Yes, it's in TMOST. The "Vulcan names list" was a tongue-in-cheek memo from Bob Justman to Gene Roddenberry dated May 3, 1966.

McCoy all the way.

I found out that I'm related by marriage to the McCoys of the Hatfield-McCoy feud. They lived in the same small town in Maryland as did my ancestor.

And supposedly Dr. Leonard McCoy was related those McCoys too.

It was fated that I'd be like him.

Well, you're certainly grouchy enough....

 

[Redfern]

Well, since "classic" Trek did not present us with a Reginald Barkley, I guess my nearest equivalent would be Joe Tormolen from "The Naked Time", thankfully not quite as suicidally depressive.

 

[ZapBrannigan]

As a boy I wished I was like Kirk, but was a lot more like Spock. As a man I'm more like Scotty.

 

[Forbin]

Mallory.
Every time I think everything's going okay, I step on an exploding rock.

Anse: "I will show you how to give someone a shot!"

Chapel or Chekov.

Or Chapov ehm Chepel......

Hairstyle. Medical profession. Secondary characters. Nuff said.

 

[ThankQ]

McCoy. I'm easily exasperated and I like to drink.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

I'm more like pre- galactic barrier Gary Mitchell. Just don't get me riled.

Okay, but if I see eyeballs like this I’m running for cover.

 

[Delta Vega]

I'd be like an anonymous midshipman more than anything

Anything really that didn't consist of being a red shirt dude
