Spock - McCoy banter and friendship Part 1

[@BioGoji-zm5ph]

I swear, when you consider how often McCoy is on the bridge instead of the ship's medical bay/infirmary/his office, the only logical explanation is that Kirk would deliberately summon McCoy to the bridge whenever he had the chance just so that he could be amused by his and Spock's bantering. This is my head-canon.

[@invidatauro8922]

Could also be that Kirk just thinks that McCoy offers sound advice that runs counter to Spock and it allows him to develop a balanced view of a given situation between the two of them.

[@aceofspadesguy4913]

Its really just a practical concern for making the show I like how in the reboot it makes the Enterprise feel REALLY big and full of people Bones, as the head doctor, probably doesnt actually need to be there. There would be other doctors under him that can take care of simple booboos

[@2Scribble]

In terms of the Trek universe Bones is also - technically - a consular as well as a Doctor In charge of both physical and mental health - and the mental (as well as physical) health of the captain would be a big concern for him

[@ThrashMetallix]

A personal favorite. McCoy: Spock, I don't know too much about these little tribbles yet, but there is one thing I have discovered! Spock: What is that, doctor? McCoy: I like them. Better than I like you. Spock: Doctor, they do indeed have one redeeming characteristic. McCoy: What's that? Spock: They do not talk too much.

Beyond the original series was Shatner and Nimoys budding friendship. This is much focused on in the more recent times, then backword toward the original series again. It shouldn't be forgotten that it was these 3 who made the core of Star Trek interesting. I think it was McCoys banter that actually helped to illuminate Leonards Vulcan persona.

[@brookerichard6260]

Leonards vulca personality? Do you mean spocks?

[@eeaotly]

@@brookerichard6260 Leonard Nimoy was very much "immersed" into the role at that time. Walter Koenig (Chekov) says that he mostly got to see Spock than Leonard, because the actor was keeping the role even when the camera was off. Something similar was mentioned by Nimoy's son.

[@1300l]

The difference of Nimoy's spock and all other vulcans in star trek is that all others are monotone to show no emotions.. Spock wasn't. It is amazing how Nimoy nail it that no one else did

[@swiperfox3145]

Well... he's half-human

[@TheDoctor1225]

I would offer the suggestion that the difference is because all the others were attempting to recreate what Leonard Nimoy did, in many cases after having their role shoehorned into the show, no matter how out of place they may have been. Instead of creating their own take, if you will, on being Vulcan, they either tried to out-Vulcan him, or they tried to copy him. Also, Vulcans were not devoid of emotions - instead, they had mastered them. That was a bit of canon often overlooked. Spock's human half made it harder for him to control them as easily, but Vulcans had them.

[@Julia-0411-k8x]

Another good part of that scene is how it puts the lie to the pop-culture idea of Kirk, presented on this show as a rigorous captain with a logical mind. As Kirk's best friend, Spock knows he's no tail-chaser, that in the case of a beautiful woman, Kirk is more like Spock than he is like McCoy.

[@kendallrivers1119]

@ That's because nobody's ever gonna be Nimoy. Sometimes when an actor owns a role so completely anyone else trying to repeat that magic fails because their interpretation no matter if good pales in comparison. Spock's the type of role that one person defined perfectly that can't be replicated same with Data, Archie Bunker, Edith Bunker, George Jefferson, EMH aka The Doctor, Seven of Nine, Al Bundy, Columbo, Fonzie, Steve Urkel etc.

[@kendallrivers1119]

@ Well I take it that other actors just don't get the character of Spock or Vulcans in general. Nimoy is the only one who truly got it I suppose.

@@kendallrivers1119 It's not like everybody in the world got to play him, it was just a few diversity hires: a black guy got to black the character, a gay guy got to gay the character, a woman got to chick the character....that's it. Like five or six classical actors who got to chose the role when space people got to be a choice character: exactly three casting director's choices are not exactly a plenitude of Spockness. And anyway someone DID sorta-kinda get it right: the Cheers bartender girl, whatshername. Kirsty something. She did a pretty good job getting the Spock-smirk, Spock-wit down. I will grant you no one, as of yet, has gotten the Spock-smirk, Spock-wit, Spock-MASTERY down yet. You ARE right Nimoy had a singular presence, a masterfulness which made his character (so far) sui-generis. Part of it was his physical presence: he was about a half-foot taller than everyone else and was known to be (very) strong: that has a unique feel to it, and physicality is part of it. He sort of had a 60's guru feel about him plus a military danger. But it doesn't feel like that's something entirely hard to do. Like I said, only a few have even tried. I count the non-Spock other Vulcan characters in the mix because I know for a fact everyone was trying to be Spock, not just "another Vulcan". Everyone associates Vulcans solely with Spock, not Sarek or any of the others. Nimoy *was* unique enough that everyone wants to remake him.

[@hangar1876]

One of the more interesting relationships because they were both playing second fiddle to Shatner. It's rare to get a good supporting cast relationship right. But then all of the final lineup was quite strong, Scotty, Uhura, Chekhov, Sulu, all had well developed characters.

[@alex-tf2up]

the scene from Miri (2:38) is just so... tender. sweet. despite the jabs, they care so much about each other.

[@alex-tf2up]

NOT to mention the fact that in the episode he sat like that for a while, just... holding his hands. it’s so sweet and endearing.

[@T.Florenz]

@@alex-tf2up and Vulcans are touch-telepaths. 🥹 Tender moment

[@margaretlatocha1474]

Omg we need more of this creativity in what we have to watch on tv today

[@CeltycSparrow]

I love how, as much as Bones and Spock like to take the mickey out of each other....Bones will still defend Spock when the need arises.

[@khfan4life365]

I love the Jim-Spock-Bones bromance.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Damn I've got to watch all the old Star Trek episodes again!

Live long and prosper Mr Nimoy

[@master-of-many-fandoms2020]

Man, watching this makes me love Leonard Nemoy even more. I really enjoy the chemistry between Spock and McCoy. They may not get along all the time, but they are good friends

[@mngentry]

Kirk was always amused by their banter but never wanted it to get out of hand.

[@nighthawk0077]

I have seen every single TOS episode several times, but I swear I have never seen some of these scenes.

[@Rosawuzhere]

0:14 Kirk tries to get a word in but the kids are fighting again so he just hangs his head like; _"there they go again"_ 🤣

[@AdhamOhm]

0:37 "I am delighted." Isn't that a human expression, Mr. Spock?

[@Bartman954]

Spock is just using McCoy's vernacular to convey an idea.

[@WalterDWormack214]

He actually conveys emotion *'twice'* in this video compilation! As a certain Starship Captain warned, we're going to have start watching you more closely! I suspect that you're "becoming more 'human', all the time!

[@289hipo]

Can't help but hear "Star Trekkin's" McCoy shouting "He's dead Jim, he's dead Jim!"😂😂😂😂

[@nicholashoover931]

“It’s life Jim, but not as we know it.”

[@289hipo]

" Always going forward, cause we can't find reverse!" 😅

[@SuzakuHayasora]

Thank you for posting this!! I loved watching all the moments!

[@hdjksa52]

Seeing these three get old together was great.

[@slyguythreeonetwonine3172]

You know, it seems to me they modeled alot of Sheldon's personality off Sassy TOS Spock. That self satisfied look after a witty cutting remark is just hilarious.😂

[@khfan4life365]

One of my favorite banter moments is when Spock says he needs McCoy’s advice and McCoy says he needs a drink. 🤣
