watching old school star trek is wild because to me cause i keep realizing 90% of how people talk about captain kirk is just people imposing william shatner onto him, he's not like that at all
- they/them, þey/þem
Genderdeer. The meat was paid for, but the bones were stolen.

in reply to @JuniperTheory's post:
The thing about Captain Kirk is that he would Hate William Shatner
I remember there's an entire Tumblr post complaining about how everybody misremembers Kirk's character because of like, 2 memorable scenes, which then became the basis of new Kirk's entire personality.
yes, the Kirk Drift essay, though it was actually published on Strange Horizons http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/columns/freshly-rememberd-kirk-drift/
I would love to see the author's take on Paul Wesley's Kirk in SNW--whether he suffers from Kirk Drift or is true to OG Kirk or somewhere in between.
