Favourite/Least Favourite Fights

[Cyke101]

My favorite fight is Kirk/Khan from "Space Seed." In order to get his ship back, with no access to his technology, he just beats a guy's ass with a pipe.

I was just watching STID the other day, and CumberKhan is depicted as much stronger than the original, despite being the same character from the same origin (since his cryostasis predates the timeline change). Though MontalKhan still has that phaser-busting feat.

Or it could be that PineKirk isn't as physically strong as ShatnerKirk either. Hm.

But it's interesting to note that QuintoSpock defeated Khan with, among other things, a heavy metal brace. Maybe Spock Prime told him to do that because Shatner Kirk beat him that way, too?

Kinda one of those "Let's be honest" moments: Khan should have easily beat the shit out of Kirk, pipe or no pipe, in "Space Seed". But, Kirk's the hero so he has to win.

Indeed. I could perhaps blame watching too much Game of Thrones, but upon rewatching Shatner vs. Montalban, there were at least a dozen ways for Khan to just outright kill Kirk in that fight.

Best brief fight: The fantastic four-on-one in MIRROR, MIRROR. Spock would have won if not for that fricking vase.

IIRC, it wasn't a vase, it was a skull. It would have perhaps been a little harder, though it was very brittle.
