Captain Kirk Becomes A Romulan

Being a starship Captain isn't easy, and it's a simple fact that a Starfleet officer's duty is never truly done.  It's especially hard when you have to change your race and even species.


In the classic episode, The Enterprise Incident, Kirk and Spock must become intergalactic spies to obtain the famed cloaking device technology.  Kirk may not have really enjoyed the surgical procedure which gives him his new alien look, but he doesn't look half bad as a Romulan - a member of Spock's offshoot, or cousin race.

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight - Romulan Commander - Joanne Linville

Star Trek had many a memorable guest star turning in an unforgettable performance as a great character, but most of them had, well, names.  In the classic original series episode, The Enterprise Incident, Joanne Linville played a seductive Romulan Commander of the ship targeted for a top secret mission - by the James Bond and Jason Bourne like duo of Captain Kirk and Spock.


Linville has had a respected Hollywood career, but her turn as the mysterious Romulan who tries to seduce Spock is one of the most memorable.  Her character's name is never revealed in the episode, however, at one point she does whisper it into Spock's ear, who replies with, "How rare, and how beautiful. But so incongruous when spoken by a soldier."
