He's Just Messing With You Spock

 
Unless Kirk failed elementary astrophysics.

Reminds me of that line from the end "Star Trek the Motion Picture" when the dad from Seventh Heaven says "Captain, Voyager 6 disappeared in what used to be called a black hole".

To this day I wonder what do they call it now if its not a black hole, and if you don't think Kirk would be familiar with an archaic term, why didn't you use one he would recognize?

Because Spock was dumbing it down for Kirk as he often had to.

Kirk was illiterate but he hid it well.

Kal said...

You're right. I never saw him actually read anything. MMMMM.

His quarters did have all those big reference books, but I suspect that means he was compensating for something.

The drawing of Spock is actually remarkably good, but Kirk doesn't fare as well. He's got "shrinking face syndrome" (which would be a serious peril for them to deal with, come to think of it).
