You may be right, Sharon, about the Spock characterization...but wouldn't Peter Falk be just marvelous to parody doing his "Columbo" schtick?

Too bad he didn't get Fonzie in there too! ;-) He could have played Sulu. That would have really driven poor Kirk up the wall.

And how about those Shatneristic mannerisms and odd pacing of dialogue?

"Their persoNALities....their....peson-naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalities...have changed!       Idon'tknowwhattodo.    Kirkout."

LOL!
