Why did Captain Kirk say that he would die alone?
Well, it turns out he was wrong. He died with Jean-Luc Picard by his side in Generations.Why did he say it? Because Star Trek V was a big ego trip for Shatner, since he finally got to direct. It probably sounded heroic and fatalistic, something Kirk was known to be, so it seemed in keeping with his character.Again, he was wrong, and it’s kind of a silly scene in a movie filled with silly scenes. Many fans wish Star Trek V had never been made, and tend to ignore it in the ‘canon.’
Is Captain Kirk an atheist or does he believe that the universe conforms to his will? I’m asking about the scene where he ticked off God.
The only scene where I remember Kirk “tick(ing) off God” is in Star Trek V, perhaps the lamest Star Trek production ever (rivaled only by the Wesley Crusher episodes in ST:TNG). To put the encounter in context, you must remember that “God” got ticked off because Kirk rightly asked the question “What does God need with a starship?” This exposed “God” as not actually being God but just a vastly powerful but marooned villain of some variety, so this casts little light on Kirk’s theology except that he rightly understood that God would have no need for man-made transportation.That being said, the entire Star Trek franchise wisely sidesteps questions of theology in favor of simply entertaining people and occasionally sopping them with some humanistic platitudes. Roddenberry’s future is completely devoid of any earthly religion (but embraces alien spirituality which usually looks a lot like Buddhism), and it almost presuppositionally supports evolution, although this is never stated until ST:TNG (Drs. Pulaski and Crusher voicing those beliefs). While the original series did address taboos like race and egalitarianism before it was chic to do so, Star Trek never confronted the question of origins except in one ST:TNG episode where there is a mad search for the secret of Picard’s old archeology professor, which winds up kicking the can of origins down the road in favor of a convoluted panspermia solution.Ironically, it was a Wesley Crusher episode which brought the crew closest to what we are supposed to believe is a God-like being. It was the silly episode with all the kids romping around in white tunics and with little white fences denoting off-limits areas, which of course Crusher violated and incurred the death penalty (too bad they didn’t succeed in carrying out the sentence). At any rate, some type of powerful, interdimensional presence intervened deus ex machina when Picard was trying to figure out what to do, but Picard decided to violate Federation law anyway and keep the boy from being killed while musing about right, wrong, and morality in the face of this etherial and powerful alien.

In which Star Trek episode did Captain Kirk say 'rank has its privileges? And did anyone else also say it?
I think the episode was “The Conscience of the King”, when Kirk is joking to Lenore Karidian that it gives him the opportunity to enjoy her company. I don’t know if it comes up in any other episodes but in Forbidden Planet, the film that is a prototype for Star Trek in many ways, Lt Farman snipes “Rank hath its privileges, eh, Captain?” when Commander Adams has reason to pay a call to Prof Morbius and his very attractive daughter. I can’t find the origin of the phrase but in seems to have been in common use in the military since the 1800s, rising rapidly (perhaps for similar reasons as those mentioned above!) during World War II.
Where does "indubitably, captain!" come from?
Recently I have found a few friends and some TV shows and in some internet pages say "Indubitably, Captain!" Does anyone know what this mean or where this comes from? Thanks!
Does Captain Kirk die in one of the original Star Trek movies?
Yes, if you count Star Trek Generations.He initially dies aboard the Enterprise B, helping save it from the weirdness that is the Temporal Nexus. He manages to save the ship, but he (and the deflector dish) are zapped into oblivion in the process.Except he actually got zapped into the Nexus itself, where he’s effectively living life the way he wishes he could have lived it the first time around. Unfortunately for him, Picard shows up and asks for his help defeating a 150-year-old man in hand-to-hand combat, because Picard couldn’t do it alone the first time (yes, there is a lot of time travel in this movie).Against his better judgement (after all, he was saving the galaxy while Picard’s grandfather was in diapers), Kirk goes along to help. He and Picard take on the villain of the piece, but in order to stop his plan, Kirk winds up sacrificing his life.It’s…an okay movie.
