And wasn't this the one where McCoy went into his country doctor schtick, drinking mint juleps and such? Kirk was not amused by any of it. 
That's a recurring theme, that life isn't real unless defined by challenge. Kirk destroyed paradise for another culture when he phasered their rock-cave-god (Baal?) from orbit, and he shrugged it off as being good for them. His justification? It was threatening his ship, and as we know, nothing is more important than Kirk's ship, in particular, The Prime Directive. I always imagined Kirk's toilet paper was printed with it.

Vaal, I believe, in The Apple. Yeah, Kirk violated the Prime Directive whenever the hell it suited him, and always gave some bumper-sticker reason why it was OK. As I've said before, NG did a much better job of at least feigning angst over violating it.
