I was never really all that interested in TOS (and in fact had seen almost none of the TV series, though I did see and enjoy several of the movies), so I was very surprised when I suddenly had epic and massive Kirk squee.
And yeah, I kind of figure passively dysfunctional home rather than actively dysfunctional; one of my oldest fannish pet peeves is the invention of abuse and trauma in character backgrounds. (It is a wonder I love Kurosaki Hisoka as much as I do because his background reads exactly like the kind of thing I would hate with the fire of a thousand suns if anyone but the mangaka had come up with it.) So I do not care to extrapolate anything more than what is actually shown, nor do I think it fits the character (since you kind of have to take TOS into account because otherwise there's just not enough material, and that Kirk? Um no.).
