As much as I love the impersonations, I have never actually felt like he did a bad job acting. He spoke like someone who didn't have a script, he spoke like a leader thinking of what to say on the fly. Which is about as organic an act as you could ever hope for.
-
I was inspired by this speech and I didn't even know what the hell he was talking about.
-
Theeeeere's.....SOMETHING on the wing, some.... THINGGG
-
This speech isn't crazy, it's brilliant. He's talking about how we need to take risks to advance.

I don't get why everybody hates Shatner. I LOVE William Shatner as Captain Kirk. c:
-
Wow Such pauses Much drama Very Shatner
-
I've never thought Shatner was much of an actor but this speech he gives is incredible and very well delivered...
-
How can any body hate the shatner pause
-
One day I will master the craft of Shatner speak. One day.

McCoy- "Doctors log... the captain needs pills. Lots of pills."

Put to .5 speed and listen to drunk Kirk. He just appears to ramble on and on as if he actually knows what he is talking about.
-
I think this is the best monologue in Star Trek. Just sums it up - adventure, progress, and courage.
-
This gave me goosebumps when I first heard it so many years ago. I would follow Captain Kirk ANYWHERE. He is INSPIRING.
-
Such a great Shatner/Kirk moment.
-
This is a great rant, I don't know why you all find it crazy.
-
He's showing his passion. This speech is one of the best I've ever seen. The problem with humanity today is that it doesn't have this idealism, instead it's cynical smart-assedness and the arrogance of the individual declaring what he BELIEVES as more important than reality! If humanity is to crawl out of this self-imposed pit of ignorance and selfishness, it HAS to embrace an optimistic, sharing and selfless mode of behavior.
-
Taking risks is what it is to be human, to go beyond our Comfort zones and expand our horizons for the betterment of humanity.
-
Should change the title from “crazy Kirk speech” to “best Kirk speech”. When he gets that glimmer in his eye and even cracks a smile, and gives us “risk, risk is our business” that’s why we love Kirk and this show
-
Spock's reaction: "The Captain speaks with undue emotion, but what he says is essentially correct, and I agree with him."

Star Trek OS was full of bold stuff like this. That's what we liked about it. We wanted to see a bold character like Captain Kirk. There were plenty of other shows to watch in 1968 ... long forgotten shows with boring characters who would put you to sleep just like today's shows. But there nothing like TOS - and the world is a smaller place because of that.
