Kirk will always be the best and only true captain of the Enterprise. I watched the classic version when it originally aired and then went on to meet the man in person several times. He was an arrogant womanizer and overly dramatic, but that's what made him Kirk for me. I was already familiar with him from his early tv playhouse roles and a movie that scared the bejeebies out of me when I was a young babysitter (The Hungry Glass). I vote for the original.
