Captain Kirk

It is odd to think that Captain Kirk's reputation in public consciousness is spoofy.

I think that people are confusing William Shatner with Captain Kirk. Shatner is spoofy, Kirk is not.

When I started watching The Original Series, I was surprised by how clipped and serious Kirk was. There's fun and romance in the show, but ultimately Kirk is a very focused, disciplined character.

Don't believe me? Watch the show again.
