“I could use a shower”.....”yes” hillarious post Enterprise.

So in Star Trek V that line is muttered between Kirk and Spock, but with Enterprises revelation that Vulcans have a heightened sense of smell it suddenly become a really funny line.

Any else noticed/laughed at it more since Enterprise?

No. But mainly because it was a pretty funny line to begin with, and because I tend not to let retcons from ENT color my perceptions of TOS and its movies.

But it's an interesting thought!

Yes, I actually I did think of that after what T'Pol said on Enterprise. I thought I was the only one!
 
But wasn't it Vulcan females that have the heightened sense of smell? at least that's the way I remember Archers line. Personally I think Kirk just stunk really bad!

It's actually funny on its own merits if you don't consider Vulcans have heightened sense of smell, but are simply logical and honest. (And many of us don't know what happened on Enterprise).

I'm more worried about what certain revelations about the Klingons in Discovery will make me think next time I see an episode that features either Worf/Troi or Worf/Jadzia romances :eek:

Gives DP a whole new dimension.... :crazy:
 
It's just a really weird line. I laugh more because it was Kirk pretty much stating the obvious and Spock acknowledging it.

Not sure if it was ever really funny to me.
 
I think that vulcan noses acclimate to smells like humans so even if spock had enhanced smell it probably didn't really bother him by then
 
It's either use the nosevocaine or put up and shut up. Besides, being part-Human, he may not be as affected.

Okay, now I'm picturing young Spock walking into Starfleet Academy on his first day and passing out from the stench. :guffaw::vulcan:
 
I actually thought, with a lot of the wonky humor in TFF, this was one of the funniest, most genuine lines. It hit more of what TVH's humor was...and that's a good thing.

I thought it was a mildly amusing line to begin with.

As @trekfan39 says above, ENT said it's only Vulcan females with a heightened sense of smell.

If frat houses are a thing at the Academy, imagine what happened when someone let off a stink bomb...
