I agree. Spock is a badass. Remember the show where him and Kirk were on the
planet run by Mobsters and Spock made a radio from old tubes and components
so they could talk to the Enterprise?

Heck, Spock did way better than that in another episode, where Bones
went bezerk and jumped into a time portal and Spock and Kirk jumped in
after to save him, and they ended up in a 1920's rescue mission though
at different times. The mission was headed by some hottie woman.

Joan Collins.

When she was the hottest of the hot.

Spock
proceeded to build a "time viewer" out of tubes/valves from money
earned at the mission, to determine when all 3 would meet up
time-wise; while Kirk -- that famed pan-galactic loverboy -- kept the
hottie busy socially.

I think he actually fell for her. Hard. She should have been part
of the dream world that Picard had to pull Kirk away from in that
one Star Trek movie; that would have made sense.

And not only did Spock's viewer accurately
locate Bones in the space-time continuum and when all 3 would meet up,
but it also foretold the ultimate demise of Kirk's new heart throb. I
still feel, if Spock had simply clipped a 20 foot piece of wire to his
time viewer, he could have easily picked up the BBC.

Spock WAS using his tricorder as a base; but I agree, it was
a masterful demonstration of scientific acumen.
