Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Kirk crying at Spock's funeral in Wrath of Khan. Also, Kirk taunting Khan is fun.

Wrath of Khan has some good stuff. Definitely under consideration.

How about from the TOS?

Kirk talking Nomad (the errant space probe) into self destructing?

Kirk make gunpowder from rocks and cardboard tubes and shooting the lizard man in the chest?

Kirk out strategizing the Romulan space commander?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Robin Gibb, Donna Summer, and Adam Yauch--all cancer, right? Ugh. Fuck that noise.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Kirk out strategizing the Romulan space commander?

Oh, that's one of my faves.

How about in The Enterprise Incident? Kirk pretends to go crazy, Spock pretends to kill him, and Kirk disguises himself as a Romulan. Then they escape. (Did I mention that fake!crazy!Kirk took the Enterprise into the Neutral Zone?)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Kirk make gunpowder from rocks and cardboard tubes and shooting the lizard man in the chest?

That is a pretty good one. Evil Kirk in "The Enemy Within" is fun. I love his bluff in "A Taste of Armageddon." Also the punchline to "A Piece of the Action."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

What's your favorite Kirk scene?

Both are worthy. I think I'm narrowing it down to Romulans who were always cooler than Klingons anyway.

Any other opinions from the floor?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I do like Kirk split in two. And Android Kirk.

Aha, Two for the Gorn!

That is a pretty good one.

Okay, I'm ready to mull.

Noted! Mulling reactivated.

brillig

I can't remember the title, but the one where we meet the Organians, who tell him that Feds and Klingons will be friends and Kirk and the Klingon commander both glare at each other. And Kirk gets called out on his looking for a fight and he goes "Oh, um, no, we want peace, um . . ."
