Here's a friendly reminder that Captain Kirk and Spock are in love, soulmates, and space husbands. That is all. Thank you. ❤️

James Tiberius Kirk

This picture is of Captain James T Kirk of the Starship USS Enterprise. He was the captain in the original Star Trek series. Yes, Captain Pike preceded him as the captain of the Enterprise in the pilot episode, but it was William Shatner's Kirk that took the helm for the rest of the series, to go where no man has gone before.

Unfortunately, there was a lot of sexist tropes in the original series, but it was a product of its time, and despite that was generally progressive. Still, as it was the first Star Trek I watched as a kid, it has a place in my heart.

Twelve Thousand People Watched William Shatner in Red Tights

Two weeks ago, I posted a short clip on TikTok: William Shatner as Captain Kirk, wearing the now-infamous red tights 🔴 from the Charlie X episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. You know the scene—the one where Kirk is giving Charlie a few self-defense moves 🥋.

He’s barefoot 🦶. He’s bare-chested 💪. Just Shatner, in all his 1966 glory ✨, wearing red tights and tossing a teenage demigod to the mat.

I expected a few chuckles 😅. Maybe a couple hundred views from fellow TOS fans 👽.

What I got? 12,000 hits 📈.

Let me repeat that: Twelve. Thousand. Views. 😳

Shatner is now 94 🎂. And apparently, there are 12,000 people out there who still want to see him in tights. And no shirt 🔥.

I love classic Trek 🖖 and have endless appreciation for Shatner's charisma ✨, his command presence 🧑‍✈️, his commitment to everything from diplomacy to dropkicks 🥋, and his bare chest 💥. But I didn’t realize there was still an audience—an enthusiastic audience—for that particular costume choice 👀.

Is it nostalgia? 🪐 Is it camp? 🎭 Is it thirst? 💦

I don’t have the answers. I only have the metrics—and the realization that TikTok is, truly, a new world 🚀.

TL;DR: I posted a TikTok of bare-chested, red tights Captain Kirk (William Shatner) 💪🟥 from Charlie X. He’s 94 now 🎂—and 12,000 people watched 👀. Apparently, Shatner’s sex appeal is timeless ✨🔥.

New commission: Admiral James T Kirk’s costume from Star Trek: The Voyage Home! Im really proud of this, its hard to see the seam detail work on the pants & sleeves but it looks great in person! This was made for a male body, but this mannequin is the only one i own tall enough! 2025 commissions are still open!
