Reactions and Reviews
Koloth throws a kink in a delicate diplomatic mission in the sensor-fouling Murasaki area. Escape necessitates separating the drive (Adam) and saucer (Eve) sections. Kirk paints a Klingon obscenity on the hull in order to determine whether the Klingons can see them, and it turns out to be miraculously a holy word of the culture Fox is contacting.[1]
In 'Four Letter Word,' an expletive painted on the Enterprise to psych out some Klingons fortunately turns out to be a sacred word used to invoke the great spirit on a world in which Kirk is involved in diplomatic negotiations. Funnily enough, this word, when written, also bears a strong resemblance to the name of a certain famous starship captain.[2]
