Oh I see how it is, you like neuKirk because you're confusing him with Damon Albarn. :p If he was Damon, the freakish lack of self doubt would come from growing up smarter than everyone else around him... and then leaving his small town for the big city/academy, and STILL being the smartest person in the room. Which is what the movie says is the case, but Kara and I weren't convinced - because the others on the ship seemed more competant. Alhough that was partially because they'd specialized and Kirk hadn't... I guess if you consider Kirk's "thing" as figuring out the shortest path to getting what he wants it could work.

Also if neuKirk was Damon Albarn, he and Spock would have been childhood friends. XD (I can't believe Blur slash makes Damon the uke, isn't Graham like the ultimate queen uke? What do the j-fanartists think?)
