I think that your correct...well, at least i voted for it.

Funny story, (just to show how dopey I can be sometimes).

The first time I saw this movie, I somehow missed Spock's line..."hours could seem like days". Those I was with didn't miss it...just me. So, later, when Kirk whips out his communicator and says..."It's been 2 hours, Spock are you ready" and Spock answers with..."right on schedule"...Well, it was one of the BIGGEST SURPRISES that I've ever had watching a movie. Kinda dopey, huh?
