That one time when Spock finally fell for one of Kirk’s conversational traps and accidentally said something that was both a human cliche and an expression of emotion, and even though Kirk totally noticed, he pretended not to because Winona Kirk raised a flirt, not a bully.
IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS JUMPING UP AND SMASHING SOMEONE IN THE FACE WITH YOUR BUTT A STANDARD TACTICAL MANOEUVRE IN CLOSE QUARTER FIGHTING KIRK I AM SO FUCKING DONE WITH YOU YOU’RE JUST MAKING THIS SHIT UP AS YOU GO ALONG AREN’T YOU FUCKING DAMMIT
This is my favorite kirk-fu moment. He could’ve just kicked him in the face. It would’ve been quicker, stronger, left him less vulnerable, but NOPE our boy does some wall parkour and an ass punch
WARNING! I’M ABOUT TO GO INTO SOME SLIGHT GORE/VIOLENCE/WEAPON PHYSICS META OF SORTS
Spock was shot in the back. We see that from the way he falls. There is blood on the front of his uniform, which means that the bullet went clean through his chest and made an exit wound.
There is quite a bit of debate about what type of bullet wound is worse, a clean one or an embedded one, but the general consensus is that both are very bad, and it is better not to get shot at all!
If you have an exit wound like Spock does, even though his heart isn’t in his chest, he’s going to lose a lot of blood from that wound.
If Jim was checking for a heart rate, he would likely be using it to gauge how bad Spock’s condition is. If his heart-rate was elevated, it would mean he was going into shock from blood loss, and that would definately be a cause for panic.
