Yeah, Kirk tended to frequently ignore it. But I think its function in the Star Trek universe was that it kept every story about less developed planets from turning into a gunboat story. The Enterprise was just too powerful a weapon.

Here is a bit of Star Trek trivia some people may not be aware of. In the first pilot of Star Trek, The Cage, the First Officer was a woman, Majel Barrett with Spock's later personality. Nimoy's character Spock was a dippy excitable Science Officer. The bigwigs couldn't accept a woman in such a high position of authority so the two positions were combined and Barrett was relegated to supporting roles.in the series. Barrett also played the unforgettable Lwaxana Troi in the later series.

Yes, that's another reason I'm not fond of the prime directive. In the original Star Trek it was bullshit. Kirk just ignored it anytime he felt like it. I loved the original Star Trek but it lacked the nuance and sophistication that later versions had.
