Okay, I am willing to accept the consensus of the net.

I have had a long-standing arguement with my brother about
the ending to a private little war.  I maintain that Kirk in
the end realizes that flintlocks would be a horrible escalation
to an already bad situation, recovers from Nona's spell since
she is dead, and reverses (fails to confirm) his order to 
Scotty about the flintlocks.  (evidence in my favor includes
the fact that Kirk sighs, says "serpents, Scotty, serpents for
the Garden of Eden.  Beam us up." and does not restate the order
and the fact that McCoy has been arguing against the flintlocks
and Kirk has only overruled him while under Nona's spell)

My brother, however, says I am a naive romantic and that of
course Tyree gets the flintlocks despite McCoy, the Prime
Directive, and the influence of the spell.

Okay.  You vote.
