[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bond, James Bond: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb] If Kirk knew about Genesis, it sure doesnt come across that way onscreen. Why else would he say "What the God's name is Genesis?" if he'd already seen the demo?[/qb][/QUOTE]He never said "What in God's name is Genesis" in any version of the movie I've seen. He said "Genesis, what's that?" in a rather poor attempt to fool Khan after he had already seen the Genesis demo. Kirk was head of Starfleet Operations after he was promoted to Admiral following the first five year mission and might have returned to that position after a second five year mission or immediately after the V'ger Incident. The TWoK script makes it look as if Kirk still holds the Chief of Operations position (he cuts Sulu's orders to take command of Excelsior in the script). I would think the head of Starfleet Operations would be privy to information regarding Genesis. Clearly he knew about it because when Carol Marcus asks "Why are you taking Genesis away from us?" he doesn't ask what Genesis is, he's merely shocked someone would try and take it. And Dr. Marcus is not surprised that he would have access to the information, she even believes it's possible that he would give the order to take Genesis because she asks him if he did. There's nothing in the movie that gives the impression that he doesn't know what Genesis is. [/QB][/QUOTE]
