I personally found that part >> incredibly gross and have to look away every time (HBO shows it) Mr. >> Rourke (sorry, Kahn) puts that baby in their ear. Yuch!!! I don't notice that he ever loses his hearing. After the thing leaves his ear, the next time we see him, he's responding to what the people around him say--and he doesn't seem to be favoring his left ear. Seems that his hearing OUGHT to be affected, but.... Incidentally, what makes the thing leave Chekhov, anyway? >> When Kirk says, "Of all the souls I have known ... his was the most >> (pause) human", Saavik looks funny. I'm not quite sure how to interpret >> that facial change. Is she moved by Spocks death or annoyed that Kirk >> called him human? I'd interpret Saavik's facial response in neither of the two ways suggested. Rather, I think Kirk just gave her something subtly profound to think about --certainly, something she hadn't considered before.
