McCoy's child

[@AnnieCYouTube]

"I think you're both going to be insufferably pleased with yourselves for at least a month! ..Sir." Classic

[@almostfm]

I've used a variation on that when I've done something I'm proud of : I shall be insufferably pleased with myself for at least a month!

The baby actually looks like McCoy. Even has his unhappy frown.

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

Dammit DieHardTrekkie he's a baby not a doctor.

[@lunamalfoy7]

Bones correcting the way the baby held is actually really sweet. He's also got experience since he has a daughter.

[@goback3spaces]

Excellent point! His daughter's name, I believe, is Joanna. Never really dealt with to my knowledge.

[@snowlothar45]

Yeah, being a doctor would have nothing to do with that.

[@Anynom]

I remember a great Star trek comic by Peter David where the now-grown Akarr shows up to testify for Kirk at a trial. Bones: "My God, Spock, look at how he's grown!" Spock: "I see, Doctor, that you are still insufferably pleased with yourself." Bones: "Damn straight!"

Spock: Ootchee-wootchee-cootchee-coo, captain? Kirk: An obscure Earth dialect, Mr. Spock. Ootchee-wootchee-cootchee-coo. If you're curious, consult linguistics. Imagine Uhura's reaction to that. LOL!

[@annabethgrace5432]

+khfan4life365 Someone needs to write a fanfiction about that consultation with linguistics.

[@DennisKovacich]

I hope, when he consults linguistics, that he looks up the correct quote. It’s “Oochee woochee coochee coo.”

[@deadpancreas1120]

The only time I ever saw spock confused... weird! 😅

[@AzguardMike]

Uhura whould turn to check it, then look at Spock, repeat the phrase to him. Spock would confirm it, then Kirk, Bones and Chekov would all laugh while Spock crosses his arms, cocks an eyebrow and says something like "I fail to see the humour in such an inquiry, Sir."

[@LtPowers]

His mother is human; I'd bet he's heard that dialect before.

[@Elliebet]

I love early in the episode when McCoy tries to hand Spock the baby and Spock looks at the kid, then politely declines with that arched eyebrow. "I'd rather not..." LOL!

[@KendrixTermina]

Yeah. Aparently he is not a baby person. Makes all the more sense that McCoy is a natural XD

[@alexpalmer9101]

"In their defense, he would give his life. In their presence, he would rather be somewhere else entirely."

[@virginiaconnor8350]

His response was like his father's in "Star Trek 5". 'So human.'

[@mnirwin5112]

And then we see the shot with the baby with his lower lip pooched out as if he's insulted that Spock declined to hold him ... :)

[@diamonddogazulixa]

"I think you're both gonna be insufferably pleased with yourselves for at least a month...SIR."

[@markuscriticus8278]

They really should have had the kid appear on TNG as Federation's president or something.

[@bluediamonddirector]

Actually he did appear in the novels post Nemesis as the commander of Starfleet. So not president but a very important position.

[@patrickwilson1459]

During the events of Captain Picard and the crew of the Enterprise D, Leonard James Akkar would’ve probably been dead unless of course he had future relatives who joined Starfleet Academy at the time.
