And I just have to interject here that you need a whole new standard of slashiness to watch this show. This scene, in which Spock changes Kirk's mind without saying a word, is so very married and slashy that it would be a pivotal slash moment in a modern fandom. You would see it in all the vids. There would be several thousand stories written about exactly how that moment came to be, and featuring other versions of that moment. People would draw pictures of Spock doing this with Kirk at, um, other times. Here, it barely registers on the TOS Slashometer. Mostly because of course Kirk and Spock have married moments. They're married!
Well said!
Kirk takes Spock to a bar, because, you know, that's where you take your Vulcan when you're on a space station and you're all riled up. Even though Vulcans apparently don't drink.
The terrible irony being that Leonard Nimoy is an alcoholic, and this series was filmed long before he stopped drinking.
We meet Scotty, who apparently relaxes by jerking off to his technical journals. I am not at all surprised.
This is taken to new and strange levels in many reboot fics. XD Meanwhile, poor Scotty has all of three love interests in the run of the show and movies, and at one point is in therapy to keep him from HATING WOMEN. The most questionable therapy in the universe!
Back on the Enterprise, Kirk is doing a lineup to find out who started the fight.
Mainly he's jealous that he didn't get to participate, I think.
McCoy explains that tribbles are born pregnant, and also that they're bisexual, which McCoy defines as "reproducing at will." Maybe McCoy should ask Kirk, who I am sure has a much better definition of bisexuality than that.
Bisexual originally meant the same as hermaphroditic, and what we now commonly call bisexual was originally ambisexual, as coined by Kinsey. It actually better expresses the concept, really: like being ambidextrous, you can choose either, and might favour one more than the other to different degrees depending on situation and individual. Nonetheless, someone needs to make a mix of TOS quotes about K/S with McCoy saying "they're bisexual" in there a few times.
And then he learns that the Enterprise is tribble-free, after a truly weird conversation in which everyone insists that someone else explain to the captain what happened to the tribbles.

Seriously, what was up with that?
