If asked to come up with a list of reckless, questionable actions committed by Captain James T. Kirk, any Star Trek fan would be able to rattle off a whole bunch of them with little effort. Kirk was an explorer in the true sense, often flying by the seat of his pants as he led the way through the new frontier. He believed in the Prime Directive, in Starfleet and the Federation, but his fiercer loyalty was to his crew and his inner sense of right and wrong, whether or not it was written into regulations.
He saved his ship, several planets, entire species, and Earth many times, but along the way, he did a lot of head-scratching things that no captain on a more recent Star Trek series could get away with. Honestly, that’s what made the show, and Kirk, so much fun: he had a wild card streak that drove him, and he took us along for the ride. We put some Chris Pine in there as he embodies the Kirk spirit nicely, but it’s the original who really went over the top: William Shatner’s James T. Kirk was as much of a legend for his great choices as he was for his ridiculous ones. Hence, a close-up look at 17 WTF Things James T. Kirk Has Done.
