I’m sorry, that’s not Vina and we didn’t see any Andorians in Starfleet.

No, Kirk is NOT promiscuous. He seems to respect fully the people he is seen attracted to. The promiscuity seems to come from the sheer number of women he is depicted being attracted to. He doesn’t chase them in any sense. Take for example “Miri”, where Rand says she had tried in the past to get him to look at her. Kirk doesn’t reply to that but I got the sense that he regretted in the moment not paying attention to Rand more, even in a platonic sense.

If you’ve watched SNW.While this is an explanation that fits into what is presented in TOS and after, it works. Kirk tells La’An in “Subspace Rhapsody” after she revels the time they spent together in an alternate timeline (“Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”), that he can’t be with her. They frame the scene like those TOS scenes with the gold lighting. Kirk says he currently dating Carol Marcus who is pregnant. So while he may have indeed spent time with La’An, he has no memory of it and can’t be that person for her. He had an obligation to a girlfriend with an unborn child. If you factor in STII, the time we see in TOS suggest that he has no idea what came of his child because he was away from Carol so often. We know Carol choose to raise David without away from Kirk.

I might be thinking about this too much. Only a handful of romances are depicted. The only time promiscuity is truly depicted might be when he was with the Orion in ST09.

EDIT: I left a crucial word!

Why not just call yourself anti-abortion instead of pro-life? You aren’t doing anything to prevent a death here.

Curzon hitched a ride to Khitomer.

I remember watching this when it was broadcast live.

Is this the time he said “hoe”?

He’d probably get upset that they spelled his name wrong.

I remember when I first heard about the blue stripe representing law enforcement and thought to myself “why would anyone claiming to be patriotic want to alter the colors of the flag to symbolize how they represent the country?” Seemed stupid then and is stupid now.

I get that with a remaster, I’ve seen that with other games. Why would a third-party studio contribute additional content to a game made by a different studio?

Law enforcement is daft if they think a majority dislike what is happening is called “extremism”.

I was thinking of the time she was scraping carbon off slightly harder carbon.

I think the next time we see the wide beam setting is LD.

Have you read TMP novelization?

Have you ever mixed up episode titles to a degree that the stories would be humorous if the titles were swapped? For a long time I confused “What Are Little Girls Made Of?” and “Miri”. Imagine if there was an episode about kids turning into robots or a a virus that made robots act like kids.

EDIT: If you are wondering why I brought up the turbolifts, look at the ship. The engineering section is in between the nacelles, not attached to the saucer.
