In an attempt to understand the northern European children’s icon “Pippi Longstocking” (Pippi Långstrump), I recently watched the 1969 film: Pippi Longstocking.

And also because I had suspected her of being the Wendy’s hamburger girl.

Aside from her disturbing habit of flashing her underpants at everyone in a manner akin to Sharon Stone, I was struck by the notion that she could be clinically defined as a “Feral Child,” or minimally a worst-case-scenario “Latchkey Kid.”
Below is the comparative study:

• Latchkey Kid: Left at home, unsupervised, for 3 or more hours a week.
• Feral Child: Has lived apart from human contact from a very young age.
• Pippi Longstocking: Her mother is “with the angels” and her absentee father is preoccupied with a career in open ocean piracy.

• Latchkey Kid: Nearly twice as likely to initiate high-risk behaviors and to develop substance abuse problems.
• Feral Child: Often unable to ever completely adapt to the normal social environment.
• Pippi Longstocking: Takes multiple (unprescribed) medications simultaneously, participates in high-risk behaviors such as lifting a horse over her head.

Star Trek made respectable.
Casting was perfect.

Karl Urban as “Bones” McCoy.
Best Star Trek ever.
