I just saw the search for Spock. Boy, what a movie. However, It brings
up some questions that were about to die on the net. In particular, the
cloaking device. It plays an important role, and apparently Kirk is the
only one in all of Starfleet command to expect that anyone might use it.
It is detectable by sensors, even if just as a distortion of space
around it (but their computer should have been able to analyze it if
properly instructed.) Thus one can only conclude that The  use of a
powerful defense like the cloaking device was not well known to the
rest of the fleet. Kirk, of course picks it up right away.
Anyway, the fact that the device *was* efectivly used blows away a lot
of the arguments recently used on the net. Oh yah, does a vulcan Bird of
Prey really only have twelve people?
There are a bunch more questions, but I'll wait with those.
