Strange New Worlds Makes A Kirk Star Trek Feat Even More Impressive
Captain Kirk's most famous one-on-one victory looks even more impressive thanks to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. William Shatner saved the day often during his 1960s Star Trek adventures, but that famous image of Captain Kirk battered and bloodied on a dusty planet, torn shirt barely clinging to his back, largely derives from «Arena.» The pesky Metrons trap Kirk (representing the Federation) and a Gorn captain (representing his hegemony) on an alien world to settle their territory disagreement. Though Kirk is the clear underdog, his ingenuity and resourcefulness win out as the Enterprise captain fashions a makeshift cannon to bring down his opponent.
