> [@terentii](#): > > Was that Bailey instead of Stiles? :dubious: Yup! Bailey, clearly spooked by the cube, nervously suggested firing phasers, and he expressed his strong opinion as offering up a vote. [See here now.](http://www.chakoteya.net/startrek/3.htm) Stiles may have seemed repeatedly on the edge of insubordiantion, but it wasn’t his style (!) to offer up a vote. And the conference meeting Kirk decided to hold really gave everyone present, including him, a “voice” on the current crisis, if not a vote. * * * And Stiles did once again get out of hand: _ **“Sit down, Mister!”** _ ---

> [@FUTBOL!](#): > > Bailey, clearly spooked by the cube, nervously suggested firing phasers, and he expressed his strong opinion as offering up a vote. I may have been thinking of “Galileo Seven,” when someone says “The _majority!_” and Spock replies “I am not interested in the opinions of ‘the majority.’” But I somehow always associate that line with Stiles in the briefing room sequence in “Balance of Terror.” ---

It seems logical to me, also. But to take life indiscriminately, GAETANO: The majority. SPOCK: I am not interested in the opinion of the majority, Mister Gaetano. Components must be weighed. Our danger to ourselves as well as our duties to other life forms, friendly or not. There’s a third course. GAETANO: That could get us killed. \*\*\* You know, it seems that challenging authority, even up to outright insubordination, such as falsely stepping into command of a vessel (as Spock did with a clever ruse in Menagerie I & II) was a rather frequent theme in Season 1, TOS. * * * Another quote comes to mind, although I have several more already in the pipeline: \*\*\*BOMA: My tone isn’t the only thing that’s hostile, Mister Spock! \*\*\* Both snippets are directly from the [Star Trek Transcripts site](http://www.chakoteya.net/startrek/episodes.htm), with bolding and italics added, but otherwise unedited. ---
