The incomparable Captain James T. Kirk as he appeared in the beautiful episode City on the Edge of Forever.

The enigmatic Mr Spock giving the Vulcan greeting, Live Long and Prosper from the powerful episode Amok Time.

Captain Kirk and his First Officer Spock are my obsession. Their on-screen adventures shaped me, my philosophy and my outlook on life. They have been a constant in my life and I still find them an inspiration after 40 years of watching them.

Indeed, incomparable.
"shaped me, my philosophy and my outlook on life" hm sounds like... parents. Do you ever think of them as sort of having raised you? I sort of do, though not in a creepy way. Mentored might be a better word.

Yes, my mum was a trekkie and totally supported what we were seeing on the screen. My father also had the IDIC philosophy as part of his being.

You're lucky. :) My parents even don't know what Star Trek is.
