Kirk's general shittiness towards women explained!
There was no "general shittiness". He could have acted better with some women, but he treated most fine.

That must be, because Klingons killed her parents.

So we're getting Worf again...
They kind of did, Duras was working with the Romulans.
A long time enemy killed his parents and he has issues with that enemy.
"You killed my parents, Klingon bastards!"
Or Inigo Montoya.
To be fair though - we only really saw his issues once in TNG's -"The Enemy" - where Worf refused to provide a cell transfusion (why Klingons and Romulans would be biologically compatible is beyond me, but hey magic medicine of Star Trek
) to save a Romulan officer. By the 6th season where they did the two parter where he goes to a Romulan prison camp looking for he father; he seemed over it.My point - I'm sure the Klingon assassination of Micheal's parents and her adult reaction to confronting the species that did that in this setting will be a major point of the character's stroyline (and perhaps even a major point of the main story. They never really did anything like that with Worf on TNG.

Poetic Irony, that's about it. Why he wasn't compatible with the Vulcan doctor in the same room, well, that's because shut up, that's why.
Watch TOS sometime and find out?
Vulcans do have very small amounts of iron based blood, Spock had more (enough that the transfuser in TOS was separating out drops at a time) so maybe Romulans have even more by living around a yellow star rather than red?
No wait, that's Superman science, my bad.
Been watching it for 50 years. Kirk's a heroic leading man. Without seeing other Captains it's hard to know how exceptional he is. The few Captains we have seen are hopefully not the norm. Though Garth seens to have been exceptional in his day. And Pike seems to have followed a path similar to Kirk and may have become a Captain at the same age.
I honestly get the feeliong that they (the TOS writers and producers) were saying ANYONE who rose to the Command of one of the 13 Federation Starsip/Constitution Class vessels was an exceptional person:
From TOS - "Court Martial":
From TOS - "Bread And Circuses":
And in TOS - "The Omega Glory" Captain Tracy actually beat Jim Kirk in a Hand to Hand combat (and Tracy was not in good physical condition at the time)
So, yeah, James T. Kirk WAS exceptional - but so was EVERY OTHER Starship/Constitution Class captain (at least until the TOS feature films where you usually had an idiot "other Federation captain" show his incompetence to make sure Kirk still showed truly exceptional abilities.)
It Burnham loves prune juice... @BillJ is OUT!
That's awfully specieist of ya. As "The Chase" tells us, everybody is basically just one and the same species. But not everybody within this single species has these XYZ ribohypozoopoops in their blood... And none of the thousand aboard Picard's ship had it.
...I wonder how faithful DSC can stay to that general concept of one species. Or, rather, how they could wriggle out of it, while still accepting the existence of Spock.

I am pretty sure that no one wants to touch the "super - species seeding the galaxy" plot line again. Let it die.
Ludicrous as it is, I do have a soft spot for that plot. I'm such a sucker for the Ancient Astronauts trope, on the occasions when it isn't blatantly racist.
Ridley Scott... is that you?
