I just adore John de Lancie.

After watching ST3 again, it just occurred to me: why did Kirk return to Genesis?  Spock's katra was already in McCoy's head.  Why didn't they just go straight to Vulcan?  Did they know Spock was alive?  If so, there's a pretty significant scene missing in which they found out about that.

I came across this interview of DeForest Kelley. I thought I'd share it if anyone else hasn't seen it.

I always thought it was to unite the katra and the body.  They didn't expect to find Spock alive.

Why would they want to unite his katra with a corpse?  I always thought the whole point was to transfer their katras into a living body before they died.

"I had assumed he mind melded with you.  It is the Vulcan way when the body's end is near."

The theoretical missing scene should have been set immediately after David and Saavik found Spock's empty tube and heard him cry out.  The one we actually got was Kirk asking Admiral Morrow to let him take the Enterprise back to Genesis.

Not sure how it works, but the body must be involved since Spock through Bones asks Kirk 'Why did you leave me on Genesis?'.

Some model work for V'ger.

Wrong show, CinemaSpot. It's been a while since I watched Menagerie. Did Kirk even have anything to do with Pike prior to taking command in the "prime" timeline?

[Local Trouble]

IIRC, they were well enough acquainted that Kirk called him "Chris" in The Menagerie, but I don't think they ever served together on the same ship.

Maybe the Enterprise will encounter the Farragut or something.
