What episode did Kirk and Spock fight?

Why did Kirk fight Spock?

Why did McCoy stick up for Scotty?

What's Kirk's favorite TV show? These are the kind of questions that can be asked, answered, argued over, and dissected endlessly when you meet a Trekkie. But there are other questions about this vast phenomenon that seem almost impossible to ask. A question like, say, How many different Trek universes are there? Or How does that make you feel? For someone who is interested in this subgenre of pop culture, a question like that strikes us as something out of that genre's greatest creation: the late Stephen Hawking's multiverse theory. (Yes, that is an actual question.)

It turns out, though, that it's pretty easy to ask. This is especially true once you get over the shock of how many different Trek universes there are. (There's one, which is a bit hard to explain to people outside of sci-fi conventions, and five others.) The main point is that if you count everything the characters from one universe, from the others, and from multiple alternate realities the number is more like six than one, according to J. Dillard, who runs the Trekkies.com website.

And here's where we come back to another aspect of the subculture: The need to collect and organize. There's a massive amount of information about the Trekkies online, and they keep collecting it. We've seen hundreds of episodes, read thousands of pages of fiction, combed through tons of trivia, and have yet to see all of it. So Dillard decided he would try to compile his research and findings into one handy, easy-to-follow document. This became The Complete Guide to the Many Universes of Star Trek, and it came out last week.

You don't need a lot of background to understand how a multiverse is different from our usual conception of multiple universes. Basically, it involves the existence of parallel worlds that are very close in some ways and very far in others. They can differ only in small details, but they can still have significant differences.

A good example is the way Star Trek has handled the idea of time travel. In the original series, the crew traveled back in time by going into the past and stopping the assassination of a key historical figure.

Who did Spock fight?

And why did he get his hands on Spock's blood?

That article you linked is incorrect. Spock was kidnapped by a Romulan named Duras who has since escaped. The two races are now at war, and Starfleet is determined to find Spock. So they don't fight each other. In the original novelization (as noted in the comments, the character's name in this version is Chellian, not Chelch, but it's easy to conflate them), Spock is kidnapped by a Romulan. The Romulans were waiting in ambush, and had Chellian outmaneuvered. They took her to a Romulan holding facility. That is where the novel version of the character dies.

Did Spock and Kirk get along?

When we first meet the young Kirk, we see that his relationship with Spock is very different from our present relationship with an older Spock.

We see that Spock knows Kirk as a boy, but in many respects still sees him as a boy. He shows Kirk respect for what he has achieved but also makes fun of Kirk's youth, using his experience and wisdom.

What is Spock's reaction to Spock 3? I am not certain if you are asking about when Spock is acting as McCoy or when he is acting as Spock 3. The first time we see him as Spock 3, it is at the end of Episode II. This time, however, it happens during the battle between the Kobayashi Maru simulation and the test ship. When Spock is acting as McCoy, he is able to treat Kirk well and even gives him some good advice. In this instance, Spock is still treating Kirk as if he is a boy. At the same time, he can make fun of Kirk just as if Kirk is a boy. So, yes, Spock does respect Kirk as a man, but he is not afraid to make fun of Kirk just as any normal man would.

Can you explain why the Kobayashi Maru simulation causes such a shock to Kirk? In Star Trek, no one ever gets shocked because of a simulation. The only times people get shocked in real life are when they're around someone who is very ill, or when they witness a crime or a battle. In fact, these are the times that really change people. These are the times that give people the ability to look past superficial differences to recognize their commonalities.

Why does Spock have to go through so much to get away from Kirk? The entire episode is Kirk's fault. We see that he makes Spock do all of this because he wants to punish Spock for talking to the female crewmen. Kirk, at this point in the story, is still very immature, and I think that he is more interested in punishing Spock than in doing anything else. That is why Spock has to perform so many tasks in order to get away from Kirk. However, by the end of the episode, Kirk does come to his senses. He is sorry that he acted the way he did and he is even more sorry that he allowed Spock to be put in danger. By this point in the story, Kirk's character has matured somewhat.
