How dumb is it...

Also...when they find Spock in Search for Spock, why he is dressed like an Australian?

Also, everyone in Star Trek, regardless of species, is an expert in Shakespeare and classic English-language poetry. Ferengis reciting Yeats in the 24th century and shit.

Just watched that scene again and played "Sabotage" on the phone over it.

Deep down even Spock knows he's just a human with pointy ears. The whole death scenario was just a smokescreen so he could sport an awesome 80s headband later...maybe even a couple of multi colored striped wrist bands and finally audition for an 80s aerobics tv show.
