Anybody care to speculate about why Kirk might identify with Peter Pan? Because he was about to retire. Peter Pan never grew old, this was Kirk's way of saying that, for this one moment at least, they could live out the fantasy that they weren't old, that they could keep galloping around the cosmos forever. Hmm. Hmm what? Kirk worrying about his age is one of the major themes of the movie. And Pan never getting old is one of the major themes of the Peter Pan book. I mean, what else could it be about? I suppose you may be right.
