Yeah, there are a lot of aspects of characterization that people miss. They miss the fact that McCoy is a DOCTOR. I know that seems silly when people are mentioning it all the time, but they don't seem to GET it. He's not a sadist with a hypospray - he's a doctor, who diagnoses, researches, and takes care of real patients. That's important to who he is. And yes, Kirk is a genius. He's one who camouflages his genius ways with a light casualness, and a bit of rambunctious fun, but he's still insanely clever. (Also, people forget that McCoy was the one who was credited with pulling some very clever pranks at the Academy!)
