I was watching the episode of Arena yesterday and there was a part that
bothered me. When Kirk is in combat with the Gorn(sp), he drops a rock
on him from a small cliff. He thinks he has killed him but to Kirks
suprise, the Gorn is still alive. Kirk runs off and falls into the Gorns
trap. A rock lands on top of Kirks leg and he is rendered helpless.
The Gorn catches up and moves toward Kirk holding some sort of primitive
weapon in his hand. The Gorn bends over to stab Kirk with the weapon,
but moves the rock off of Kirk's leg. Kirk rolls over and gets away.

	-My question is, Why in Gods name did the Gorn move the
	 rock off of Kirk's leg? I was wondering if someone has
	 a rational explanation for this
