 There is a debate going on across the way about what it would take for Captain Kirk to let a Klingon on the bridge of the Enterprise.

"Kirk is da man"  has been uttered multiple times.

I almost wish my Star Trek knowledge wasn't limited to very very vague The Next Generation memories from...what...High School?  Junior High?  Both?

Kirk allowed a Klingon-- a prisoner-- on the bridge in "Day of the Dove." My resident Star Trek expert (aka my husband) just did a little checking to confirm that his memory was correct.

If I remember correctly, the only Kirk you could actually be said to are missing out on exists within some of the Star Trek novels which came out between TV end and movie start, specifically the Diane Duane ones. Most of the stuff was forgettable, but there are at least 20 good ones (out of 100? more?).

The TV Kirk actually isn't as clever if you rewatch him. Mr. Spock however never loses his mystique in which-media-so-ever.
