[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Reverend -- The exchange between Terrell and Kirk. Terell: "He blames you for --" Kirk: "I know what he blames me for." Except that at no point from when Kirk was first poleaxed by seeingKhan on the bridge of the Reliant did Khan actually bitch him out for abandoning him, etc. Yet somehow Kirk knew. This may have just been sloppy writing on Nick Meyers' part, or it could have been intentional. Either way, it's been used by a lot of people to support the theory that Kirk knew about the ecological devastation of Ceti Alpha V and didn't do anything to see if Khan and his minions made it. [/QUOTE]I'd say it's fair to suppose that Kirk deduced why Khan was pissed at him from 2 things he saw on the view screen. Firstly the appearance of Khan and his followers was clearly weather beaten and ragged, now CA5 was a hostile planet from the get go, but given 20 years a man like Khan should have been able to at least get basic textiles sorted so they shouldn't have been wearing rags and the remains of starfleet issue clothing. Secondly, McGivers was clearly not at Khan's side where she would most likely be if she were still with him. While that doesn't tell you everything, those two bits of evidence indicate that (1) The colony suffered some kind if natural disaster and (2) McGivers was dead. That plus Khan's demenor should have given Kirk a goood idea what happened and whom Khan blamed it on. [/QB][/QUOTE]
