One adorable thing about “The Naked Time” is that we get to see Kirk doing non-command jobs—flying the ship for a while, then having a wunderkind idea in engineering. For that one scene, Scotty is The Man, and Kirk is like a precocious cadet, clipboard in hand. Adorable.

I like seeing echoes of Cadet!Kirk, and being reminded of the fact that he had to do all these jobs (or at least some of them) before he made Captain. He was a gentle, rule-following nerd, and he got where he is by studying hard and paying dues. It’s an element of his character I really miss in nuTrek, much as I enjoy those films. Who needs James Dean in space?! (Okay, we did—but then we got Han Solo and now we’re set.) Up with the charming square!
