How come Dr. Spock was only 2nd in Comand when he was clearly the strongest and most intelligent crew member?

Spock couldn't produce his birth certificate.

oh nooooo LOL

To True, but you need to show people that having the biggest dick/mouth/appetite is what matters.....blahhhhhhhhhhhh

EXACTLY.

LMAO!

Get a life! LOL

According to an anthropology class I took that analyzed Star Trek, Spock represented pure logic, McCoy represented pure emotions and Kirk represented the desired blend of both.

Thats cuz the intergalactic HOs prefer the party animal Kirk to the boring Spock!

Is it wrong that that turned me on?

The other way around
Jim could not produce his BC so he was put into command.
Spock had his in hand and was turned down.Isn't that the way the system works now a days?

Being half Vulcan,he could not qualify for the top spot.Natural born citizen thingy.

No, Captain Kirk was HOT :)

no. not at all. everything's normal....

Lol @ Richard Cheese. Omg, my kids are going to wake up and wonder why the hell mom is listening to this weird-ass music at 6 am.

remember the kobiashi (sp?) maru? (even in the orig series as well as the most recent movie)
It took Kirk basically cheatng to beat the test. (which Spock designed)

oh, so let the aliens run things?

In the Enterprise Series we get a whole new insight into the Vulcan Culture, we see that Star Fleet is a human invention, we find that while Vulcan's were present, they were not part of Star Fleet, but they were a force to reckon with. T'pol (First Officer of Archer's Enterprise) is still a member of Vulcan High Command and her roll is defined by the needs of VC to 'control' or guide human progress into space.

From that we can see a future Spock also being pressed by a less obvious Vulcan High Command to help in guiding human exploration of space in the capacity of First Officer, having vast powers aboard the ship while still allowing humans to make a few mistakes and learn from those mistakes as they progress.

In a way Vulcan's are our 'teachers' in the future. They present themselves and give us the virtue of their experience in space and dealing with various other cultures. While at first they halt our progress, preventing us from launching a full attack on the universe (Thus Archer's Father being kept from Warp 5 Tech and the enterprise being built and flown so far down the road from the first warp journey), Later they give us more and more reign.

T'pol 'broke' the barrier and present us with the notion of a logical Vulcan as a Star Fleet participant. Spock later is a star fleet officer who's mixed culture gives him better insight into human nature.

That was great. Thanks for the laugh!

hahaha.

+1

How come?

Because Spock couldn't lie. He could only tell the truth.

That's a serious barrier to getting into positions of power.

Ask Barry.

Spock gets busted. LOL
