Sorry youngsters but the original is the only worthwhile iteration.
Rodenberry came from a generation that still knew history and he was influenced by the great explorer Captain Cook. That’s why his hero has the alliteration...Captain Cook, Captain Kirk. Cook also famously said “I want to go further than any man has ever gone”.
