"You know what might be really interesting? A Spock that embraces his human side more than his Vulcan side." Alec tapped his chin thoughtfully. "It's too bad there's not a way I could bring a Spock here or one around that I could try and flip..."

And that is one of those statements Alec occasionally makes that shows his somewhat callous disregard for other people's lives. They don't come out very often, but sometimes they do. Because he says it in exactly the same way he's been talking about doing things using Kirk to screw around with the computer.

"Is that easy to do? I'm fairly certain elevator music would be easy... or if there was a way to make it rotate so once they fix the elevator music problem the computer starts insulting people and when they fix that it flips back to elevator music..."

Alec is fairly genre savvy in these regards. Not that he particularly cares mind you, he's just fairly good at knowing how the universe works.

"Yeah he can a real stick in the mud but..." What do you say about a man who survives torture and becoming one of the Borg while keeping his sanity intact, saying that the Klingons have no honor and walking away from it still alive and all the other things he will do... or has done in another reality? "He'll probably end up surprising you. I mean you don't become the captain of the Enterprise without having some balls."
