William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy: Kirk and Spock

     Let's see how many hits this blog entry gets based on the words on the title.

     Shatner felt a little shafted by not being asked to be involved in the last Star Trek movie.

     It is cool that Shatner and Nimoy are good friends, though on the set of the original Star Trek series, Shatner sometimes played jokes on Nimoy that weren't that nice, as documented in Shatner's book, 'Star Trek Memories'.

     I'm still annoyed that in the alternate universe of the Star Trek movies, that Kirk had a twenty year old son named David that kind of looked like a young Peter Frampton with his blond hair.  The Kirk I grew up on didn't have kids, he was banging broads right and left.  It did seem that part of Kirk's intentions for exploring strange, new worlds, was to find new alien chicks to make out with.  Men have to spread their seed where ever they can, it is in their natures.
     Kirk did marry that Native American chick in the original t.v. series when they were on the 'Indian' planet, so he was banging her for a couple of months within the time elapsed on that episode.  He lost his memory due to alien technology.
     His wife conveniently dies at the end of the episode, killed by rocks being thrown at her.  Bones' advanced medical techniques could not save her.  It would not have been good for the continuity of the show to have Kirk's Native American wife on board the Enterprise.  It really would have cut into Kirk's action.
     An alien race called 'The Preservers' are mentioned, but are not shown.  It may have been them who distributed all the humanoid forms from Earth throughout the known galaxy only to be later discovered by the Enterprise.

     So, in theory, The Preservers may have taken ancient people from Earth, put them on Vulcan, made them lose their memories, implanted green blood into them so they could survive on Vulcan, and over time, the Vulcans became six times stronger than humans.  In a Next Generation episode, it shows a human knocking out a Vulcan.  That is just silly.

     'Vulcan' is a ridiculous name for a planet as it also happens to be the name of The God of Fire.

     In the real world, all we have to do is walk out the front door to discover strange new worlds, with all the fucked up people out there.  It might as well be an alien planet.  Each day is a day of discovery, which I think is one of the points of Star Trek.  In the spirit of Kirk, it is also about banging chicks, which was heavily suggested on the show.

     It was implied that Kirk was getting some action on The Enterprise, too.

     Spock didn't get any action because of his Vulcan mating ritual.  He could have banged Nurse Chapel, though.

     Many highly intelligent people are highly sexually active, so maybe Spock wasn't telling us something.
