"What Captain Kirk might do? (smile)" I'm going to assume nothing. At least not while she has a phaser in her hand. :P Edit: I'm going to have to buy those figures one of these days. |

I think he would report to HR's next sexual harassment seminar… |

I'd buy them if they were metal. Resin is just too pricey for me. |

Kirk never (willingly) made moves on a subordinate. In fact, despite the jokes, Kirk had very few flings of any kind in the series. In the whole series, it's only ever established that he had any physical relationship three times; once when he got married (while suffering amnesia), and twice as subterfuge to save his ship and crew. With officers in his command, he was hands off (unless under the influence of some externally caused mental effect or mind control), even when he might have wished otherwise. Nice sculpt, though the "almost knock-kneed" pose is both awkward and unoriginal. Drop it, guys. |

Cannot believe that a "personality" like Kirk have not "affairs" with nobody of his crew! (smile). It's not the office, ok with that… but…! Come on! Years in the space…(smile) Amicalement

What move me to one question… How the crews of Star Trek "managed" with sex? Were there (please, we need "trekies here")any reglamentation about that? Imho it would be "free"…? Counselor Troy for example… she have a very "open mind" in that aspect…! What about mixed races? Were there reglamentation too? Amicalement

TOS appears to have followed some semblance of military regulation regarding officers not having relationships with officers in their chain of command, though outside of such structures (as in across commands) dating appears to have been accepted (Scotty clearly is interested in a member of the Science command structure in one episode, and there's no regulatory objection from Kirk). In the famous Balance of Terror episode, two crewmen are having a wedding when the story begins, so again dating seems acceptable among the mixed crews. But Kirk notably avoids relationships with his crewmembers, citing regulations at least once regarding this. In TNG, the regs appear to have disappeared. The various cast members have relationships within their chains of command without any mention of any prohibition of the same; the Enteprise is virtually a flying eHarmony from the looks of things. Even Picard dates a crewmember in one episode (though the whole issue of "ordering your girlfriend into danger" does come up as a central concern). Riker behaves more according to Kirk's reputation than Kirk ever did (and nearly loses the ship because of his libido, too, for which he should have been drummed out of Starfleet, IMHO). Heck, even the android "gets around" (quite possibly the dumbest idea of the series). And in both DS9 and Voyager officers get married, despite disparities of rank and command chains. So by this point the writers had tossed military regulations out the airlock (if they even knew such concepts existed). As for cross-species relationships, a Klingon dates a half-human Betazed, has a child with a half-human Klingon, and marries a Trill (humanoid with a symbiotic three-centuries old slug in her torso). Also, a human marries a half-human Klingon, and an android dates two human women. All but one of these characters are Starfleet officers. (Okay, technically one of those Starfleet officers is a Maquis "draftee" as it were, but she lives by the regs, for the most part.) So at least in the later series, "anything goes" appears to be the rule.
Ah, well. Such is Hollywood. |

And what about the scene that nearly got TOS canned, where Yeoman Rand was in the bed behind Kirk as he was putting his boots on? |

I suspect that matters were much like those described in Joe Haldeman's The Forever War; nobody cared who you shared your bunk with as long as you did your job, did it right, and that was that. Leland R. Erickson

Interesting. I would have thought that given the mores of mainstream America in the 60s the scene where some nasty psychically-omnipotent aliens dressed as Greco-Roman aristocrats forced Kirk to kiss Lt. Uhura would have caused a greater uproar than a scene no more "scandalous" than what was already being seen on prime-time television from the same period…
