BTW, you probably caught that Sam Kirk was played by Shatner, with moustache and hair pulled back. :)


Really? I'll have to look at that again.

I was taken aback with Kirk's lack of emotion when he found his only brother dead on the floor. Was that bad acting or was that a Captain in charge of his emotions? ;)

I think it was a bit of both. I'm often surprised by Kirk's lack of compassion in certain circumstances (such as when he learned of K. Leighton's death in Conscience of the King). Sure, he was saddened, and I'm happy he pursued it to the extent that he did, but he was more logical than emotional there as well, I believe.

That being said, I think Kirk is much more affected when he loses a man or woman under his command than when he learns of a random death (even of one close to him, with the exception of his son). In The Apple, he lost at least four persons, and in Shore Leave, the apparent death of Bones really moved him. So it may depend on the circumstances, and the persons whom have passed, to some extent.

Yep. :lol: :yes: It is what my nephew called "edible Chinese rubber band." :D

Had you noticed TOS is the only series that didn't have an episode base on water? :headscratch: I thought GR was a Navy man. ;)

Nope. Gene Roddenberry was in the Army Air Corps during WWII.
