I just bought the LaserDisc version of this. Has anybody noticed
any of these really glaring flaws:
. When the Klingons are cloaked and getting ready to attack the Enterprise,
its distance is reported as being 5000 kilograms(!!)
. How, with Saavik on board, could Kirk have innocently buried Spock in
space without knowing any better?
You may ask, who is "Spook"? Why, the son of Spock and Saavik,
obviously!!

I guess you hear what you want to hear. It sounded to me like he was
using some Klingonaase unit of measure. The word sounded more like
KELLACONS than KILOGRAMS.

Now THAT makes sense. That never would have occurred to me.ccrdave@ucdavis.UUCP (Lord Kahless) (05/24/85)

Spock wrote in his will that he wanted to be buried in space. Apparently, he felt that being of mixed blood precluded the Vulcan religious right. Kirk would follow Spock's feelings, not having heard of the Vulcan rites. As closed mouth as Vulcans are about things like sex, I'd guess Vulcans would be too closed mouth to talk about Vulcan funerals anyway. You can try asking a Vulcan for further details yourself.
