Even if they are, to complain about a Strength Serum in a fictional universe where medicine can cure cancer, grow new organs with one pill and instantly heal bone fractures & stab wounds is more than a bit silly.Are her bones somehow more fragile than a middle aged Kirk's
I don't know, why isn't meth?
I mean, if what you got out of the scene was that this was a handy tool to have around the house, well...videogame thinking.
Yes it did! And about goddamn time! Common sense contradicts "The Galileo Seven."
Chapel/Spock is the best thing about the series at this point, and the series is very good.
Common sense contradicts a lot of Star Trek. Just roll with it.
I can buy it was the first time he commanded an away mission of his shipmates in such an isolated manner, cut off from the Enterprise and not knowing when or even if they'd ever see it again. But the first important command assignment? No way.
Especially considering he was in command of the ship in the opening for TOS S1 The Corbomite Maneuver.
(And Hell in the original pilot version of Tthe Cage, Spock is in command of the ship while both Pike and Number One are being held captive in a cage; and he attempts to order the ship to leave (abandoning the hostages), and the only reason it doesn't is because the Talosians prevent it.)

Yep. While Kirk is undergoing his quarterly medical examination in Sickbay he's not officially in command of the ship and Spock has full authority as the senior bridge officer, so as early as the first few episodes ever made Spock is making command decisions - and in the case of "The Corbomite Maneuver"- is in command over the fates of 430 people, not just seven in a shuttlecraft.
I understand what you're saying but the green juice obviously has an effect on the strength of the bones - and not just the ones in the hand.
Good "tough girl" tropes usually involve some kind of radical augmentation. River Tam comes to mind.

Another way around this is that maybe because Starfleet doesn’t want it known that one of their officers stole a starship and the crew blatantly disobeyed orders, they covered up the entire incident, told people not to discuss it and left it off official records.
In that case, maybe McCoy truly believes it’s Spock’s first command because no one knows about this incident.

And the other times???

Like her. But, I like MASH, JAG, Sergeant Bilko, Stripes and Down Persicope.
He's weird....like not knowing much about Vulcan physiology, which I always found bullshit.
He's just a simple country doctor.
Huh? Dr. Leonard McCoy knew enough about Vulcan physiology to perform open heart surgery on Sarek and save his life in TOS S2 Journey To Babel.
I just checked. You are right. I must have been misremembering it.
And then you have McCoy knowing nothing of Gorkon's anatomy when 142 years earlier Phlox and his fellow doctors logged extensive medical data on Klaang after he survived being shot. So either McCoy is really selectively attentive or Starfleet Medical classifies or conveniently ignores a lot of stuff as the decades pass.
