"I see no one complaining that Kirk went in the core instead of a trained red shirt. "

That's because Kirk is the captain and HE fucked up. So it's his JOB to go down. And given that he had Scotty -- the chief engineer with him -- a red shirt would not have done a lot of good.

The WHOLE POINT of that scene is that Kirk has to fix his fuck up and that he, as Captain, is RESPONSIBLE for his crew.

Remember that Italian captain that was reamed for abandoning the cruise ship? Yeah...It's the Captain's JOB to take care of this kind of stuff. To make the tough calls and sacrifices.

And the point I was making was that they never establish any kind of precedent for sending her. For example, it was at least MENTIONED that Chekov had been shadowing Scotty before taking over. They couldn't have done this with Uhura? Had a quick convo of her and Cupcake exchange two lines about her security training?

And do you know anything? You DON'T have to study a second language to study psychology. Have you even looked at the modern economy at all? It's based on SPECIALIZATION.

What was McCoy doing when they ran from the natives? Hell if I know. But given that he's the doctor, they might have felt it prudent to include him in case they encountered hostile natives (which they did).
