And depending on what the captain eats, in the bathroom, too...
I always took it that Kirk simply hadn’t noticed Yeoman Barrows was there.
Since Spock asked if there was problem and was standing behind the Captain's chair and it appeared to Kirk that Yeoman Barrows got the papers signed and left it looked to be a natural assumption that it was Spock doing some pressure point to his back.
Agreed
The robes wouldn't have been Spock's choice, it comes with the lifestyle he was seeking out. It's his new uniform, essentially. I dunno if his Starfleet uniform was to his liking, either, but when on the Enterprise/Vulcan...
I noticed something today as Kirk was stealing the Enterprise from Space dock in TSFS STIII. Scotty tells Kirk everything is automated and two trainees and a chimpanzee can run it, and Kirk gives them the opportunity to leave. Of course Scotty, etc., choose to stay. But Scotty IS needed to reprogram the space dock doors. Maybe Scotty could have done the programming from the base. But it sure looked like Scotty needed to be there.
Spock only yelled, "Jim!" I think Spock would've needed to yell something more informative like "Jim, duck!" or "Jim dodge-roll!"
Or, "Jim! Kirk-fu!"
well they just lost a crewman to those flowers. I think Jim is smart enough to not need a long explanation, a glance and a roll. But there wasn't much time. Spock yelled then pushed kirk out of the way, standing of course right in the same spot instead of rolling himself. I guess it happened too fast. Though that plant did turn pretty slowly before firing. IMHOSpock only yelled, "Jim!" I think Spock would've needed to yell something more informative like "Jim, duck!" or "Jim dodge-roll!"
Spock yelling "Jim!" doesn't tell him anything other than trying to get his attention which doesn't help in moving Kirk's center of mass out of the way. Spock would've needed to communicate a direction to evade to as Kirk didn't have situational awareness of his surroundings. But yeah, Spock ended up in the same spot to get hit wasn't good. In hindsight, tackling might have taken both out of the line of fire.
A phaser sweep might've worked but maybe there was too much of a risk for the beam to go further down range and cause unintentional problems?
Captain's Log, Stardate 3715.4:
While making a routine exploration of Gamma Trianguli Six, one of my men has been killed by a poisonous plant. I immediately ordered a phaser sweep to kill such plants in the area, and this started a brush fire that ran out of control and burned down a native village 17 kilometers away. The fire is still raging. I am now making arrangements to teach the natives about sex.

Reverse psychology?
In baseball, when a foul ball came near the dugout, someone would always shout "Heads up!" That was supposed to be a cue to duck, i.e., put your damn head down!
I remember doing launch support at Cape Canaveral, when there was a spectacular explosion of a Delta rocket shortly after liftoff. The safety officer droned over the intercom "All personnel, take shelter from falling debris." Naturally, everybody on our staff headed towards the doors to get a look at what was going on.
I heard that in Zapp Brannigan's voice.
There is also a flambé setting.
well hush my puppies! Too bad we never got to see it. It would make for entertaining viewing.
I mean it can heat up rocks so there is a fire setting in there somehow.
It's also a cutting tool.
