My wife has a love hate relationship with Shatner...she can not stand Captain Kirk, but she loves Denny Crane.
The reason she cant stand Kirk is because of his 'womanizer' tag. He is always shagging some woman. Heck, she pointed out, if they had molten-lava rubbers he might have made love to the Horta. Ummmm...she has a point.
But when ever we watch TOS, or are about to, she always sums up the episode, usually, with Kirk in her summary. Hey, lets watch STAR TREK. Lets watch the one where Kirk fights the lizard man. Or how about the one where Kirk is a Nazi, or Kirk loves Joan Collins, or Kirk meets the pizza monster (horta's nickname in our family)
I think she hates him for the wrong reason. She compares him to Clinton. Always trying to bag the woman he's with. Well, Bill Clinton is a married man. Captain Kirk is a single man with out any long term relationships in TOS (umm, you K/S slash fans be quiet!).
If I were single and in command of a Starship I would not be blowing a flute like Picard does (hello Zhang), heck no..I would be out there bedding every woman in the universe too. Infact I think that is one of the reasons men like Kirk. The guy has it made. He can score with the chics on a planet, and then come back to the ship and be fawned over by his Yoemen.
What if YOU were a single Starship Captain?
