Second, Kirk and the Enterprise. No Orion Slave Girl could ever take her place in Jim Kirk’s heart. His sense of duty and calling will even keep him away from pursuing interest in Yeoman Rand and her beehive hairdo. Before all else, James Kirk is a starship captain. This fills his life and all of his adventures. The Enterprise is home to Kirk. Without her, he is lost in the 1980s … well, lost anyway. When we understand this, those many women, human and alien, whom he is so fondly remembered as having romanced, wooed, kissed — sometimes under alien mind control — make sense; he cannot lead a settled life with wife and children, so this is all he’s got. In ‘The Naked Time’, Kirk says of the Enterprise:

Barrett-Roddenberry’s Nurse Chapel makes her first appearance in The Original Series in “The Naked Time,” about a mysterious pathogen that causes the crew to lose control of their inhibitions. Although Chapel’s confession of unrequited love for Spock during her first appearance is odd, the episode is the only one in which all three female leads appear together: Chapel, Lt. Nyota Uhura () and Yeoman Janice Rand (Grace Lee Whitney).

The man speaking is Matt Bevin, a Tea Party candidate who is challenging McConnell in the primary. A dapper investment banker, Bevin is far from anyone’s Tea Party caricature, despite making predictable noises about Ayn Rand and the national debt. “People will tell you this is a battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party, but it’s so much bigger than that,” Bevin says. “It’s a battle for the heart and soul of the political process! People are hungry for something real. We don’t want to stretch this analogy, or it’ll get uncomfortable for us, but Mitch McConnell is a naked emperor. What has all of his power and influence been doing for anyone other than himself?”

Grace Lee Whitney (April 1, 1930 – May 1, 2015) was an American actress and singer, best known for her role as Janice Rand on the original Star Trek television series and subsequent Star Trek films. Born Mary Ann Chase, she was adopted by the Whitney family, who changed her name to Grace Elaine. She started her entertainment career as a “girl singer” on Detroit’s WJR radio at the age of fourteen. After she left home, she began to call herself Lee Whitney, eventually becoming known as Grace Lee Whitney. In her late teens, she moved to Chicago where she opened in nightclubs for Billie Holiday and Buddy Rich, and toured with the Spike Jones and Fred Waring Bands.
