I doubt it. He has also been: - shot in the back by a flintlock ("A Private Little War") - Slapped HARD back to consciousness following the above... - Placed on trial for MUTINY (not to mention the capitol offense for taking the Enterprise to Talos IV) - Left for dead in a giant single-celled *creature* ("The Immunity Syndrome") ("Tell Dr. McCoy .. He would not have survived it.") - forced to face "Pon Far" (sp?) while LightYears from home with little hope of getting there ("Amok Time") AND more recently ... - Has failed to achieve the greatest persuit of his people (The Kholinar) - Practically burned up his neural system in a mind meld with VGER - Killed (simulated, but killed just the same) on the Bridge of the *Training Simulator* Enterprise ("Aren't you DEAD?") - and of course forced thru "Pon Far" (sp??) AGAIN with that fake Saavik (I liked Kirstie Alley's Saavik much better) That's all I can remember that haven't already been mentioned here .. and there have been quite a few!! -- Jim Moore dual!ptsfa!ptsfc!jpm Pacific Bell REMEMBER - "Things are only as bad as they are and can only get worse if they do!" - James P.
