Fascinating. But you missed the original USS Enterprise Captain. Of course a little time travel would be required for Jeffrey Hunter to attend. ;)

Wonder if TOS would have become such a cult favorite had Jeff Hunter decided to keep going with the series.

He was a cool guy and all, but Shatner's hothead/over the top portrayal of Kirk probably made it more enduring.

Oh yea! Was that Captain Christopher Pike? He was in another several episodes.

Technically, we also have to say the missed Sandra Smith, who for a time was captain of the enterprise as well. In the "Turnabout Intruder" episode, both she and Shatner played the roles of James T. Kirk and Dr. Janice Lester, since their minds were switched (as part of Dr. Lester's devious scheme to get even on all men, as I recall).
