Dear Kal,

Captain Kirk sends him reply:

I think you have gave me an idea for a new feature here at the Cave of Cool - smug pictures of Captain Kirk. I am sure I will come across many in my Tumblr travels.

I think some people might disagree with that statement. Though I suppose he might be the exception not the rule.

My favorite line from Mystery Men is when Ben Stiller (Mr. Furious) says "Don't correct me it sickens me" which William Shatner supposedly said to someone who tried correcting him about his lines on the set of Star Trek.

Shatner was quite the prick in his younger days, apparently.

Which is exactly what you would expect Captain Kirk to be. As popular as he was amongst his senior staff, I bet a lot of people in the Federation resented him for his cowboy ways (and the success he had) and were always looking for any reason to take him down. I have learned to only judge Shatner for the man he is now and he has totally redeemed himself in my eyes. There was a time I was wishing that he would have died when the original Star Trek ended to preserve his memory of only that role because of some of the sillier career choices he has made.
