| YATI : |
Why does Kirk get so worked up when Scotty and Spock suggest destroying the ship? He threatens the very same thing himself when Bele seizes control in a few months time, and all he wanted to do was go to a planet in our own galaxy. And of course, he will ultimately carry out the destruction of the ship rather than let the Klingons seize it in Star Trek III. |
| Great Moment : |
Scotty getting the Kelvan drunk in his quarters - a very funny scene. |

| Factoid : |
Kelvans, immense beings with 100 tentacle-like limbs and minds so sophisticated that each tentacle can perform a different function, are mentioned as having been defeated in combat by Worf in DS9. |
