cesperanza:halffizzbin:spatscolombo:Apprently today I’m in the mood to contradict widely believed myths about Kirk’s personality.So this conversation establishes that a) Kirk was a book-smart nerd at the Academy (?!) and b) he was not a womanizer, but actually shied away from relationships—and then committed too fast and too far in his first serious one. Which, at the very beginning of the series, he finds out was a manipulated set-up. Hey, I don’t know, maybe that’s gonna give him some intimacy hangups and affect his behavior with women going forward?Basically I am out to prove that Kirk is a giant sweet nerd and all his flaws are due to being emotionally damaged by douchebags with tin-foil eyes and their lab-assistant floozie pawns.(Also, as a grad student who teaches undergrads, I am here to tell you that undergrad Mitchell going to apparently great lengths to set his grad student teacher up with a woman is So Fucking Weird.)Call Kirk a ditzy womanizing manwhore within my hearing and I will end your life painfully.Seriously I will fucking organize a transporter malfunction like in the Motion Picture and it will be ugly.+1 -- source link
