Awesome. Looks like this Christmas tree ornament we've had since the late 80's... it plays a sound clip "Shuttlecraft to Enterprise, Shuttlecraft to Enterprise. Spock here. Happy holidays. Live long, and prosper." Apparently the particular tree ornament is worth a decent chunk of money to some people... it has sentimental value worth more than what they're paying.

Yeah that was NOT A FOLSOM POINT. Sorry, Trek really makes my ancient geek blood stir.

It was a good line though and set the tone for Spocks command and leadership style, logic.

Oh I agree that the line advanced the plot and made the other crewmen distrust Spock as a leader even more. What i can't abide is that they had the money to make that show but they couldn't bother to, you know, pop open the F volume of their Encyclopedia Brittanica and look at an actual picture of a Folsom Point before they made a prop that utilized Core-Style flint knapping techniques instead of Flake-Style flint knapping techniques, which is sort of what the Folsom Point is famous for among archaeologists.
