>Spock refers to himself as second officer. Who the fuck is first officer then?
TOS chain of command depends on the writer that week. Sometimes Spock is First Officer. Is Bones Second Officer, or is he the doctor? Is Scotty Second Officer, or Chief Engineer? Why is the engineer always given the bridge when the main trio are beating up aliens on new planets? I'm glad TNG onwards put more thought into each crewmate's place.
