I couldn’t imagine Jeffrey Hunter in the series if he had decided to do the series. An excellent actor, but the chemistry between the 3 of them ( with Shatner) was great. Looks like Hunter wanted to remain a serious actor instead.

As campy and awkward as some episodes are, I love TOS.

5:34 “I shall be honored, sir.” This was one of the first Star Trek episodes I saw. I love how Bones understood and appreciated the meaning behind Spock’s request. Neither of them would admit it, but they were good friends.

[@deathstrike]

They had one of the most legendary friendships in Starfleet. Even T'Pau saw strength in humans as she worked with Archer when he had Surak's Katra and she respected him a great deal. I couldn't picture it but I think T'Pau had a near envy in Archer that Surak chose him to carry his soul. Why a human? Because as Sovol once told Adm. Forrestal "were were you once".

It is telling that Spock chose McCoy to hold his Katra.

3:17 I will never accept a claim that Shatner is a bad actor. That is one of the most genuinely angry reactions I've ever seen.

[@MyGamer125]

He has his moments; the end of Wrath of Khan felt very genuine. And while I believe Shatner is a bad actor, I don’t think anyone else could ever be Captain James T. Kirk.

[@freakyold]

I think the common perception was that Shatner was over-acting in Star Trek. But that was appropriate because it was kind of a comic book science fiction series. I read an interview with him in which he said that he worked out a lot to build big muscles because Captain Kirk was a super hero!

[@Valyrianalien]

Eh, I don't think it's enough to be genuine. (Though I agree that he is that, even the most over the top stuff he does feels like part of Kirk's personality, which is quite an achievement haha.) For me, it's more about what isn't there than what is. I find Kirk extremely dull, compared to not just Spock, but almost every other named character. I love the show, but if I see him and none of the other regulars on the screen for more than a few minutes, I get a distinct urge to skip through until someone else appears. And that's not the writing's fault, on paper he has the same level of drama and dilemma that other captains deal with in other ST series. I just can't see it in the performance.

[@jaypee9575]

William Shatner is a great actor. Kirk could not be Kirk without the way Shatner played him. People who think he is a bad actor don't really understand the character of James Kirk.

[@MarvinFalz]

I have to agree. Currently I'm in the second season of TNG, and so far I like what I see, but I always have the feeling that TNG is a bit underwhelming regarding the personal relationships of the crew. I don't quite connect emotionally with TNG to my liking as I do with TOS.

[@johnbertrand7185]

Love the play between Kelly and Nimoy. Although there was always animosity on the surface, they had such good chemistry together you always knew that there was mutual respect and friendship just below the surface. RIP Lenoard Nimoy (1931 - 2015) and DeForrest Kelly (1920 - 1999).

[@nikilalakshmanan779]

I've had 3 good friends since the 5th grade. We would cut each other down mercilessly. When a high school classmate witnessed this, she was incredulous, asking "...Are you guys friends?..." I replied, "...It's a tough crowd- you have to have a thick skin to run with this bunch...."

3:57 McCoy's the only doctor who uses sanitizer. Everyone else just assumes the computer takes care of it for them.

[@stormhawk3319]

Spock secretly, needed Doctor McCoy as a sort of therapy from becoming almost robotic in his personality. McCoy wanted Spock to embrace his human side to make him a better person.

[@marymichael1211]

Excellent point, and sometimes the point of the Doctor's counters to him. This interesting "power struggle" between the country doctor and the perfect scientist results in a power balance, personally as well as philosophically.

The Dynamics between Kirk Spock and McCoy will never be replicated in any iteration of Star Trek. I'm also a big fan of the TNG era and as good as it was they didn't have characters with tight bonds such as these 3💯👊✌️🖖

[@thatguyfromcetialphaV]

Star Trek was never about the pew pew pew and explosions. It was really about the relationship between these three that pushed the stories forward. Its why Wrath of Khan was so good. It was the logical continuation of that.

[@TheRivrPrncess]

William Shatner even commented somewhere that that is what he found wrong with the first movie. Too much emphasis on pew pew pew and explosions instead of focusing on the relationships with not only these three but on the other crew members as well. Such a good example of why studios need to keep out of a how the cast do their lines and scenes.

[@michaelhayslip8439]

The pew pew pew is fun, but without the story and the characters, it’s meaningless.

[@blackterminal]

[@kevinemmers9424]

Ah yes! The Eugenics Wars of the 90's. Now, that brings me back!

[@PrincessToyNerd]

For the number of us who grew up during that time, it was painful and tragic.

[@Muirmaiden]

In his 1995 book, "I Am Spock", Leonard Nimoy stated that he had objected initially to the scene at the end of the episode "Amok Time" (at 6:04), but he said later that in a way, it was Spock who really objected, and of course, it remained intact. Nimoy stated that the reason why Spock didn't want McCoy there is because due to his brief happy and emotional reaction of Kirk being alive, he knew that McCoy would make him pay for it later!

[@sandal_thong8631]

I didn't like this episode and had trouble with it. I've come to the conclusion that the two women were contemptuous of "off-worlders" which is why one turned down a council seat. Racist. I think the other suggested the challenge and with Kirk as her champion to try to prove that Spock wasn't really a full Vulcan male in Pon-Farr and would snap out of it (and because she was afraid that Spock being an officer would kill Stonn). But I also don't think she cared whether a human or half-human died. She should have been locked up after for attempted murder. The idea that her reasoning was "logical; flawlessly logical" is disgusting, so I think Spock was being sarcastic. Also Spock being able to "snap out of it" when he sees he killed his captain, when otherwise he was going to die if he didn't get back to Vulcan gives evidence for the homosexual element that certain fans like to suggest. I don't think he mind-melded with Kirk in a previous episode, which would provide an alternative. Also, we learned the previous season in "This Side of Paradise" that Spock had been on Earth with Leila Kalomi seven years prior. So they likely had a fling during his last Pon-Farr, but she said, "You couldn't even put your arms around me." So he couldn't express affection in public. It was kind of sad that she held out her hand for him to take, and he put his behind his back.

[@tamakunminnip2117]

​@@sandal_thong8631 Spock went through his first Pon Farr in Amok Time. Also although Spock may have had feelings for Leila when they met on earth in the past there is no evidence in the episode that they had a relationship as Spock doesn't come across as the kind of man who would be unfaithful to his fiancee (even if the engagement was arranged).

Look at the great acting in these episodes. One of the gretest ensemble casts in the history of television.

[@FreakyTeeth]

"You insist on applying human standards to non-human cultures. Humans are only a tiny minority in this galaxy." This is why Strange new worlds,. Voyager and TNG are my favourite star trek shows, with TOS coming close. Star Trek is about "mapping the unknown possibilities.". Gene may have wanted it to be all about optimism, but really exploring stuff that is new and different is fundamentally what adventure is all about. We don't need politics and ideologies and social dynamics shoved down our throats, the real world is full of sources of stuff that does precisely that already, but adventure is really fun, brave and inspiring.

[@sandal_thong8631]

It's one of the most implausible notions in science fiction and explored in other Star Trek series as well as _Sliders:_ that the world around you can change but you would still be there. If you did go back in time, random chance would mean anyone conceived after your arrival would be someone pretty different from those you knew. For instance if it's a boy, the parents might still call him "George Washington" but it wouldn't be the George Washington we knew. The only way it could work is if some entity like Q worked it out, like he did for Lieutenant Picard in "Tapestry" where every contribution he made in his life was worked out to be done by others, even so far as the same officers being on the same ship at the same time without him as captain.
