An analysis of all 79 episodes of Star Trek, The Original Series, shows Captain Kirk wasn’t quite as lucky with the ladies as legend suggests.
“Shore Leave” Another one from the past, Ruth, apparently from back in his Academy days or thereabouts. Doesn’t seem that much really happened within the story itself, unless you count her showing up again at the end (17 episodes in and we finally might actually have Kirk getting lucky? Not a good average for an alleged womanizer….)
His bad form continues in the movie series as well. The brush off from marine biologist Dr Gillian Taylor in Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home must surely rank as the nadir in Kirk’s womanising… exploits.
