Line 5:
* [[A Father to His Men]]
* [[Acting for Two]]: In three episodes (Id!Kirk, Android!Kirk, and Mirror!Kirk) and in [[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country|the sixth movie]].
* [[
* [[Always Save the Girl|Always Save Spock]]
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Sixties sex symbol or not, Kirk stumbled into Type I in The Wrath of Khan where his mid life crisis wears heavy and some poor choices cost the lives of many recruits (and a bulging waistline and receding hairline didn't do him any favors...) Type II in ''The Undiscovered Country'' and ''Star Trek 2009''.
* [[Badass]]
* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: The [[Trope Namer]], by omission. No, he never said it. (No, not even in ''[[Star Trek: The
* [[Berserk Button]]: ''Do not hurt his crew''. Not when he is [[The Captain]] of Starfleet's flagship, with all the genius and heavy weaponry that implies.
* [[Boldly Coming]]: Although not ''nearly'' [[Never Live It Down|as much as his reputation suggests]].
Line 49:
* [[Always Save the Girl|Always Save Jim Kirk]]

* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Bookworm]]

* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: Don't expect to ever hear Sulu say "''Oh, my''." That's [[George Takei]]'s personal [[Catch Phrase]]. Sulu himself was the only regular who lacked a memorable [[Catch Phrase]] or [[Verbal Tic]], one of the reasons he didn't show up in too many parodies (and when he did, he was usually the [[Straight Man]]). More recently, given Takei's predilection for [[Adam Westing]], parodies of Sulu are basically parodies of Takei (including the [[Camp Gay]] antics - see below).
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Again, "The Naked Time".
