I goofed on a memo I sent out a few weeks ago. I stated that in "The Corbomite Manuver" we learn that Vulcan has no moon. That fact is mentioned in "The Man Trap". It happens in a conversation between Uhura and Spock on the bridge before Kirk and McCoy beam up following Darnell's death. (Many t.v. stations cut this scene out.) At any rate in this episdoe we are told that Vulcan has no moon. So what are those objects we see floating in the sky in STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE while Spock is about to reach an all-time high in logic? Production blew it again. I suppose they could be other planets in the Vulcan system which at that time of the year are lined up very close together so they look like moons. (If you were on one of Jupiter's moons such as Io or Europa the other satellites which orbit Jupiter would pass by overhead much the same way.) So when our friends return to Vulcan in ST III it could be that time of the year when the planets are not lined up so close. A weak explaination, it is easier to say production blew it again.
