Uhura, is so going to kill him! However when she should have known Kirk was a closet nerd!

Loved the OC's!

I liked the fire people, energy beings? Who are/were they? I would like to know more about them, and about the conspiracy.

Glad Frank is gone, to bad he won't end up being beaten daily by a bully.

Absolutely loved Kirk's tirade against Komack and the last scene.

It oh...it never pays to cross the crew of the Enterprise or to try and keep them from their captain.

Loved this because it had Kirk, being a harass and smart! Is it odd that the theme of (James Bond) "Live and Let Die" kept playing through my head while I was reading it? More please?

Keep up the good work! I really like the story so I will read the next chapters. Can't wait..

Wonderful story! I like where you're going with the caracter of James Kirk and his geniusness. Reminds me of Star Trek 2009 where captain Pike says to Kirk: "... your aptitude scores are of the charts...".

Wow, incredible story! Well done. I'm going to read the next chapters as well. I like the effort you put into the story to make it in line with the character of Kirk.

I love the way you incorporated the genius part into this one (:

Ugh you're amazing I can't even explain how much I love these. Best Star Trek I've ever read.

I completely loved this. Funny, hearwarming, intelligent and ingenious. Sometimes utterly unbelievable, but that's Kirk for you.
On a more personal note, I hope the years that's passed since you posted this has brought you happiness. As anyone who's ever run into psychological trouble will know, it's not something you just shrug off. So all the best to you in your endeavours and life. And thank you for a beautiful story.

At the beginning, you truly focussed on what this story was about, proving Kirks genuis. However, after two or three chapters, you lost that focus, and the story simply became Kirk whumping. And then you lost focus on that too.

But fret not, towards the end you pulled yourself together a little, and while it nowhere near matches the quality of the first chapter, it's not as bad as those middle ones, if a little boring.

It feels like you decided you didn't like this concept anymore, and switched to a different story idea, halfway through.

Moreover, the first chapter is so great because Jim, he's working with what he has. In the chapter with the Nayahians or whatever, there was this sentence. Roughly, this sentence that is, "they seemed to be speaking a mix of French and Greek, and Kirk found his brain automatically translating it. He was a genius after all." He was a genius after all; how lazy can you get? That really killed it for me, you have Kirk do some 'mindblowing' feat, underplay the crews reactions, and pass your explanation of this feat as 'he's a genius.'
Learn a new language instantly? Genius
Program something? Genius
Go blind but make your way around perfectly? Genius.

It's so fucking goddamn lazy. Ok, ok, let's see, my first example. It would be so much better if you put 'they seemed to be speaking a mix of French and Greek, and Kirk had mild difficulty undestanding some of what was said. Greek never was his strong suit.'

Ok, another good chapter, other than the first one. The one where they get stuck in an elevator. Uhura's reaction isn't underplayed, and the battle of languages, especially how Jim wins is quite clever. (Not to mention I'm kind of a sucker for those types of plots...)

One last thing, and the thing that got on my nerves more than anything else, you replacing 'v's with 'W's in Chekov dialog. Oh, sorry, should I say nerwes? Ive never seen it anywhere else and its so, so distracting from the story, moreover, it make you look like a total idiot.

Writing this one must have been a real... Trask
