Spock As "Selleck" Meets His Father, Sarek -"Yesteryear" Star Trek Animated 1970s

[@martinjohnston1907]

Spock: "What happens on Vulcan stays on Vulcan."

[@wpatrickw2012]

One of the great things about the animated series was that they used so many of the original actors to do the voice work.

[@bobblum5973]

Thank you, D.C. Fontana & company, for creating such wonderful stories giving us an entire world, its people, and Spock.

[@chrismc410]

She was there since the beginning of TOS to early DS9 before she died

[@Sephiroth144]

Ten minutes later: "Selleck": Spock, here's how you do a nerve pinch. And don't forget, we only Pon Farr every seven years, but a nutshot will bring them down 18/7/252...

[@willystuff]

I've seen this episode when it first came out back then..

[@ron.7105]

I used to watch these every Saturday morning. Those were the good days, my friend.

[@55Quirll]

Yes they were, I’d like them to bring this back along with TNG and DS9

[@zorkmid1083]

The writing for some of the shows was very good, and it was good to hear the original voices, but the animation was weak, even then.

[@55Quirll]

@@zorkmid1083 The same for Journey to the Center of the Earth and Fantastic Voyage, I believe they were all done by Filmation. Still enjoyed watching them

[@viceroy7792]

yes - THIS was actual Star Trek..

[@viceroy7792]

This is SUCH a great episode. better than anything the last few movies have been able to cough up..

[@michaelgarcia8602]

Spock remember his days at home.

[@pbagosy]

"Sorry for my kid being emotional. Anyway, have fun worshiping our gods, like we do, because that's logical."

[@fmlazar]

Logic does not demand atheism. Look at clips of Spock's quarters in TOS and you'll find a votive god idol there.

[@pbagosy]

@@fmlazar At the very least it demands agnosticism.

[@fmlazar]

@@pbagosy Spock and his entire clan don't agree with you. In fact, Maimonides one of the greatest philosophers and logicians in history would not agree with you. Google him.

[@pbagosy]

@@fmlazar Well, Spock isn't real, and I'm not going to take the word of some 12th-century theologian when it comes to logic. Religious faith exists in direct opposition to logic, because the former relies explicitly on belief without evidence in the unprovable, and the latter demands evidence.

[@fmlazar]

@@pbagosy According to writer Dianne Duane, one thing that differentiates Vulcans, including Spock from Humans is that they each have an individual awareness of the Divine. This has not stopped them fom having disputes on what the awarness meant. But it's established canon that Vulcans as logical as they are are not atheists as a rule.

My name is Selleck. Tom Selleck.

[@JavierBonilla78]

One of the best, if not the best Star Trek episode.

[@Sirenhound]

In the family, all is silence. After all, we never speak of Michael

[@fmlazar]

They don't speak of Sybok either.

[@PhillipMelanchthon]

Bruno. We don't talk about Bruno.

[@55Quirll]

Loved the animated series, this is the episode where the Guardian of Forever makes an appearance 👍

[@ghostrider88jinetedelfanta31]

Yesteryear was an excellent episode 👏. I think it would have been a great TOS episode 😀 👍!

[@ianhudson7350]

There are references to this in Series 2 of Star Trek: Discovery.

[@zekehanscom5869]

Look Star Trek cartoon. Miss that one.

[@kymberlym.d.a.collier3126]

What happened to Vulcans not being able to lie?

[@john-ic5pz]

is that so? ... I'd forgotten 😊🖖

[@john-ic5pz]

I have to watch this... how could Spock 's father not recognize his own son? 🤔 ✌️ 💜

[@patrickradcliffe3837]

Spock is half Vulcan so he tells half lies.

[@thenamedoesnotmatter]

"Is it true that Vulcans can not lie?" "Yes" Spock lied.

[@charlesn898]

Vulcans are fully capable of lying; they just need a logical reason to justify doing so.

[@patrickradcliffe3837]

The good old days of predestination paradoxes.

[@robgyanisu312]

That's spelled 'Selek'! _Yesteryear_

[@TheRealNormanBates]

Soooo I guess the pure blooded Vulcan bullies are pummeling him with logic?

[@wufspyder]

I've often wondered if the animated Trek was "cannon"

[@alfredc.knight2737]

Indeed, truly cannon. Live long and prosper... Robert April

[@fmlazar]

Roddenberry denied it while he lived but since then, bits and pieces have been referenced in later shows, mainly Discovery but even TOS made reference to Spock's "teddy bear".

[@johnbockelie3899]

Spock gets to actually lie to his father.

[@doughesson]

I thought that Vulcans never lied. That's not even good prevarication.

[@flintfleming3935]

A few animated episodes were well produced..

[@mikesavatar3194]

Hmmm🤔

[@stephenphillips7699]

Cool, Tom Holland as the black panther, I'd watch that

[@hanshawks5088]

Hospital people

[@jyesucevitz]

even as a kid being a trek fan I hated the cartoons animation. (or lack of.)

[@santiagoaguilar6241]

Spock....lied.

[@viceroy7792]

he.....innovated.

[@jackgibsxxx0750]

I always felt that the other boys were being just as emotional as young Spock was. 🖖🖖🖖🖖

[@fmlazar]

They weren't of Sarek's clan though.
