Even the Defiant on DS9 lacked a bridge turbolift because of the horizontal, flat way that ship was designed. We're just not used to seeing a direct door to a corridor/hallway on a Kirk-era Enterprise.
Is there a turbolift?

And it eschews the physical appearence of the ship if one can run to the bridge, from engineering, with out using a turbolift. I always thought engineering was on another level than the bridge...

^ You do what Ro did in Disaster and climb up the turbolift shaft hoping it doesn't come back online?
As fast as the turbolifts in Trek 11 go I don't think you have time...
Kirk and McCoy did take a turbolift down to where Uhura was stationed. So it stands to reason that they took a turbolift from that location to the bridge level, just not one directly onto the bridge.
Procreation only!

You are now dead to me.
Unless you do it the Superman way....faster than a speeding bullet.
That would put to old term "one pump" to shame.
Yeah...that was a pretty big joke on my part.You are now dead to me.
I'm still confused. Chekov ran to the transporter in a very short time. Spock talks endlessly to Uhura from within the turbolift and it takes him a very long time to get to the transporter room. What am I missing???
Spock's endless monologue to Uhura should never have happened. He should have left the bridge immediately and then finished the conversation with her via intercom or communicator. It's one of two points in the movie where I cringe. The other is when Young Spock quotes Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes character. I also cringed when Nimoy's Spock did it in Star Trek VI.

I'm pretty sure one of them stopped the lift.
People on Trek are forever stopping elevators in order to have private conversations in transit.
Try that sometime. Aside from various alarms and mechanical issues, even the person you're conversing with doesn't appreciate it.

Thank you, Exile!
Now my wife an daughter will know that I am not alone in this pet peeve. I say something similar very often when I get on a escalator with them and I have to slide my hand back to keep it from getting away from me. They think I'm nuts for allowing that to bother me.
Depends on the building. True, most will do that. But I've been in at least one where you can stop the lift without it going haywire. It's probably forty years old, mind you, but it did work.Try that sometime. Aside from various alarms and mechanical issues, even the person you're conversing with doesn't appreciate it.

And I've always imagined some lowly crewmember, whose late for his shift, waiting for the car that's just been stopped by Picard or whoever for a little one-on-one.
Uhura stopped it; Spock restarted it.

The first hint I knew that UHURA and SPOCK were, well, something else was when Uhura had the line "Didn't I show great oral skills" or something like that during the prep for leaving earth. When she said that, I looked to my wife and said, "ummm, that line was funny"...
I know..I'm a perv..
