quote:

Spock seemed to be an honorary Red Shirt this episode. He was attacked by the killer plant, struck by lightning, and had the near disaster with the exploding rock.


This was both clever and subtle on the part of the writers - although the exploding rock showed a certain uncharacteristic carelessness - he survived the plant and the lightning - this reinforced the fact that Vulcans are much hardier than humans. Also, it demonstrated that the command crew was exposed to the same hazards as the redshirts - had Spock been human, the plant or lightning would have killed him.

well, not to mention the rock should have blown up when he broke it in half.
