A way to explain the unexplainable, especially unexplainable behavior, especially-especially taking matters into your own hands. It's name is derived form the actor who played Captain Kirk on Star Trek (William Shatner) who NEVER has to take matters into his own hands because he always has everyone else do everything for him, and every circumstance is neatly explained as being caused by the supporting characters. For example, Sulu will say to Kirk "the Romulans are attacking our ship" and Kirk will say to the Romulans "Why are you doing this to us? If you don't stop I'm going take this as your decclaring war on the Galactic Federation," then the ROmulans attack but all Kirk has to do is say "Fire phasers, Mr. Chekov" to resolve the situation. Kirk never lifts a finger, never takes any risk the others aren't also taking. An Anti-Kirk Moment is where you have no idea what's going on, no idea why things are happening, and it's up to you alone to take action.
