[QUOTE="Erekose, post: 7440623, member: 610"] OK - my take on it below: 1) Sensors are inoperable due to the Mutara Nebula. They don’t know where each other are. Why not Just look out the window? Clearly sensors are worse at "sensing" than basic eyesight is. Look! There they are! I interpret this as long range sensors being inoperable - the immediate vicinity is fine which is why they can “see” each other when they nearly collide. Perhaps this view isn’t called sensors? 2) Why does a Vulcan funeral feature an English song played by Scottish bagpipes? I think this is linked to the next answer but in short it is just a traditional Starfleet funeral. 3) And isn't it a bit harsh just shooting Spock out the nearest torpedo tube rather than taking him home and informing his family? I bet [I]that[/I] was an awkward conversation when the got back to Vulcan and/or Earth. Remember at this point in the films Spock hasn’t resolved his issues with Sarek. As Kirk knows this, he wants to give him a hero’s funeral (the equivalent of a vikings funeral but entering the atmosphere of the Genesis Planet creating the fire rather than arrows) rather than the debacle of a funeral Kirk expects him to get back on Vulcan.
