Why not get McCoy up first, slap him around (less dangerous) and get Bones to make up some kind of hypo to knock Spock out until they could strap him down, wake him up, and then call him names? Or why didn't Kirk just stun Spock with a phasor, tie him down, etc? I know, I know. It was neater to see Spock try to brain Kirk with a chair... Any thoughts further? Scott "Working, dear..."
