Your favourite Kirk...just for fun...

I liked Kirk during the movies, but since you split them up, I went with Kirk from TSFS to Generations.
 
Definitely early Kirk, before he became a love machine (stupid events of Conscience of the King notwithstanding).

A solid, military officer.
 
Peeps,

For me, it's nearly a tie between 2nd season Kirk and TMP-TWOK Kirk. I voted for early movie Kirk because he's more introspective and weighs his options with more intelligence -- kind of a proto-Picard -- but there are still moments of impetuousness and daring. The best examples of that:

-When he goes "by the book" in TWOK and understands Spock is lying about how long it will really take to repair the Enterprise.

-When he goads Khan in TWOK by saying, "I'm LAUGHING at the superior intellect."

-How he realizes in TMP Decker might be able to use his relationship with the real Ilia to reach the Ilia-probe V'Ger sends to the ship.

-When he puts aside his resentment against Decker in TMP and says in reply to Decker reminding him that as first officer, it's his duty to offer alternatives, and he agrees then says, "I stand corrected." With a wry smile, of course.

^^ while season two kirk is still my favorite one of my favorite moments is in the wrath of khan right after the sneak attack by khan when kirk was smacked out of his complacency and countered with using the command codes.
 
I went with TMP-TWOK. The more mature and yet conflicted version. He was my first Kirk, bad hair or not. I'd have to go with Season 1 after that. Its all down hill from TFF on.
 
Tch!

What about "Turnabout" Kirk, as a woman? Or Kirk as a big white globe, after Sargon took his body?
