Madden) Distribution: net.startrek Organization: MIT Project Athena Lines: 15 Keywords: 'Tholian Web' Spock Summary: [Project Athena -- MIT's very own Greek tragedy] I just saw "The Tholian Web" the other night, and it shattered forever my conception of Spock as an honest man, er, Vulcan. During the course of the episode, Kirk is assumed dead. Spock and McCoy follow Kirk's standing last order, which is to view a tape prepared by Kirk for just such a situation. At the end of the show, however, Kirk (who has of course been saved) asks the pair if the tape helped them through the crisis. Both repeatedly deny having viewed it. Sigh, if one cannot depend upon Spock's honesty, what can one depend upon? Warren J. Madden MIT-ATHENA.MIT.EDU ...!mit-eddie!mit-athena!wjmadden
