As for the OP - apparently it was due to the unfortunate accident he had as a child. He caught his head in a mechanical … rice picker. But fortunately, there was an American missionary living close by who was actually a, uh … skilled plastic surgeon in civilian life.
What I don’t understand is - why didn’t I think of it sooner?
What? A mechanical rice picker?
True, my mother was named Amanda Grayson. However, she was no relation to Richard Grayson. I do not feel an urge to don a red outfit with a cape and tights and prance merrily about while uttering, “Holy wormhole, Captain!”
Yes. Or “Hmm, this asteroid is proving hard to crack. I’ll just paint myself into a corner by ordering Mr Scott, against his better judgement, to keep firing until all of the ship’s weapons and propulsion systems are burned out, and then hope for a last-minute miracle in a few months, rather than, oh say, applying one percent of my vast intellect to a Plan B, or going and spending the next few months looking for Captain Kirk and the miracle itself on the only piece of real estate where we have a chance of finding one.”
Yeah, just can’t keep off the effin’ stuff.
You might have had something else on your mind.
Congratulations. You win the Pullet Surprise.
Don’t knock my Spock or I’ll clean your clock!
At least the new Spock figured out that he should bang Uhura.
And *this *is why I keep coming back to this place…
[standing ovation]
If multiple clones of Spock were cooking rooster in a space port, would they be a Spock smock cock dock sock flock?
May the Great Bird of the Galaxy help Super Kapowzler find his marbles, and soon.
I’m glad somebody finally banged Uhura, those legs always drove me crazy.
I always wondered if her earpiece had a “silence” mode.
You know…
Vibrate?
In the “Man Trap” (the one with the “monster” that sucked the salt out of your body), the monster adopts the form of a attractive Af-Am male in order to try to lure Uhura in.
In “Charlie X”, Uhura sings along with Spock’s harp playing in an almost flirtatious way.
I think Uhura probably “got some” more than the TOS episodes otherwise show. She is not portrayed as shy or having self confidence issues. The show’s producer’s had to stay family friendly (and not portray her as a slut) after all.

I called it, didn’t I?
Also in “The Naked Time” we have the dialogue “Aha, fair maiden!” “Sorry, neither!” 
I had to verbalize this in my head a couple of times to get it.
Restaurants should totally have a dish called Pullet Surprise. 
You are all wrong. The system would not have gone spastic with the command “Compute pi to the last digit.” It knows darn well that there is no last digit. If Spock had been dumb enough to try something like that seriously, it would have simply been: “Compute pi.” That might have worked. OTOH, the computer probably would have come back with “How high?”
It was really a secret code for "Another of those crazy non-corporeal entities is aboard. This time it has invaded you. Go spastic on it as if you are computing something without end. And shut down everything except for life support.
(Emphasis added to following quote.)
Yep! All doubt as to whether he was insane vanished, as soon as he declared that he was Dick Grayson.
- TFO
No he doesn’t - that would be inefficient and illogical :dubious: Spock codes his programs in the only truly logical programming language- FORTRAN!
Peace and tranquility to you, brother. But I am afraid OP is not of the body. We should go now, it’s almost … the red hour.
