Think about all of the things he has seen, all of the worlds he has explored, all of the green women he has slept with, and when he is faced with death, it shocks even him, to the extent that all he can say is, “Oh, my.” I’m not sure how popular this scene is among the Star Trek Zeitgeist, but I imagine it’s probably hated. I, however, love it. Feel free to tell me how I’m wrong in the comments.
Ill see if i can find a clip of shatner talking about this. He has a great explanation of why these were kirks last words. When Shatner tells it, it makes a lot of sense. If i cant find it i hope you all get to see it someday, it wont necessarily make you like the scene if you dont already, but it might make you dislike it less which is nice
