Spock - McCoy banter and friendship Part 6

[@305unreal6]

Hearing Spock say "Forget it, Bones" is funny but also so endearing. It shows how close Jim and Spock have grown throughout the series, and how sentiment means to Spock. Just because he is half-Vulcan doesn't mean he doesn't have emotions.

[@gwen2975]

"I understand, Doctor. I'm sure the Captain would simply have said: 'Forget it, Bones.'" Don't deny it, you awwwwwed there. This is quite probably the only time we hear Spock call McCoy "Bones", and it can only be described as endearing. You sweet, forgiving, pointed-eared hobgoblin.

In Star Trek Beyond, nuSpock calls McCoy by his first name.

[@gwen2975]

Yeah, I wrote that comment before Beyond. 😂 And I prefer the original series/movies, though the reboots aren't too bad.

[@Trek001]

In the novel and a deleted scene from Star Trek VI, McCoy and Spock are in the torpedo tube and McCoy says "Its a shame we're about to retire" To which Spock replies "Yes... We were just beginning to work out our differences"

McCoy always knew when his duty station placed him at the top of the chain of command. He never overused it; he was always subordinate when that was his role. Unfailingly. But he knew his Star Fleet regulations to the last dotted i. When they gave ship's surgeon the last word, he never backed down; he looked ranking officers in the eye and told them how it was going to be. I didn't get that as a kid, but re-watching all these years later, I see it.

Bones is the perfect example of an officer, never disobeyed an order but if he felt something was wrong he pushed until things were made right

[@KeiFox]

"I'm sure the Captain would simply have said: 'Forget it, Bones.'" The way how Spock said what Jim would've said in such a moment is quite endearing, and it goes to show how well he's known Kirk in the few years they've served together in Starfleet. It brings to mind what Spock's adopted sister Michael Burnham said to him: "There's a whole galaxy out there. Full of people who will reach for you. You have to let them. Find that person who seems farthest from you and reach for them." Spock did indeed find that person in Jim, and his words were very logical in this moment when McCoy needed them, with the space madness affecting him and others.

[@radicalross7700]

It seems to me that Spock valued Kirk's friendship because Jim accepted and valued Spock for who Spock was more than anyone Spock had known, including other Vulcans, Spock's own parents, and even Spock himself. All Spock's life, he was being told to be who others thought he should be and shut out by his own father because he wasn't. But Jim Kirk, for the most part, regarded Spock as more than good enough being Spock.

[@paulclow3398]

I've always thought in their own ways that no matter how much they annoyed one another spock and McCoy always regarded each other as friends.

[@pdrey100]

Space Madness

[@thisisme5911]

It always hurts me to see McCoy yell at Spock in this episode. Kirk is and forever spocks bast friend and to see McCoy telling him what he does is to take command when he is so clearly hurt and worried about Kirk just hurts... how can people on the ship judge Spock for not having emotions when they have so little empathy.

[@XxiheartsupermanXx]

Evven taking the space madness into account, I think McCoy is at least somewhat OOC in this episode.

[@pootpuff1753]

@@XxiheartsupermanXx I don't think it's that OOC. McCoy has a habit of lashing out when he's stressed or hurting, and Kirks death hit him really hard too. It's the negative aspect of his more emotional approach to things that balances his positive empathic qualities. Combined with the space madness, it's no surprise that he's being erratic here.

[@KenshiImmortalWolf]

Spock has an issue that has always brought him at odds with mccoy, his very calm demeanor. Even in teh most dire circumstance the vulcan pension for logic and focus puts spock at odds with everyone else. Everyone else is use to working through their emotions not hiding them. Vulcans have to control their emotions for it was what lead them to near extinction, a culture reinforced over centuries and centuries. More so for someone who is half-human.

[@mnirwin5112]

@@KenshiImmortalWolf And that very pension for logic and focus can drive nearby humans slightly bonkers, because it can come across as cold and uncaring. Which it isn't, of course.

[@mnirwin5112]

Yes. This bothered me considerably, watching McCoy lash out at Spock with accusations that at some level he *must* have known were inaccurate, to say the least. He did his best to redeem himself after they viewed Kirk's final orders, though.

You can see it in some of McCoy's more intense moments, De's ability to squint his eyes and pull all the air out of the room with tension. He was a great actor 🧡

[@radicalross7700]

I always thought that in the Tholian Web episode, McCoy was completely unfair to Spock. The circumstances clearly showed that Spock was in no way to blame for the predicament they were in. It was the Tholians who made a bad situation considerably worse, however unintentionally.

[@mnirwin5112]

He was, but again, he was stressed and *dis*tressed over what he believed to be the death of the captain. Plus the effects of the Tholian space were affecting him. And also ... McCoy is human, and humans often lash out when their emotions get cranked up. Spock's focus on logic could easily come across, under the circumstances, as cold and callous. Which it wasn't, of course, but in McCoy's state of mind he wasn't in much shape to see that.

[@radicalross7700]

@@mnirwin5112 Good points. It occurs to me also that it was never mentioned how the Tholians' hostility might have caused to some degree by the effects of that unstable region of space.

[@suzanneroberge494]

McCoy was completely out of order & many of his dialogue lines seem over the top & just a bit out of character for Bones. But it seems to be a staple that EVERY time Spock is in actual command he gets a pretty hard attack during the episode. Things are said to him & in a fashion NO ONE would have ever considered speaking to Captain Kirk that way. Guess in this episode they decided McCoy would be the one to harang Spock.

I Dream of Crafting This is the third season episode, The Tholian Web. This is whare the Enterprise came into the Tholian section of the galaxy in serch of and found the USS Defiant which a boarding party went over to asertain the reasons why the ship was disabled and drifting in space. Trivial information also here, the voice over of Comander Loskein was actress Barbra Babcock. The boarding party consited of the Captain, the first officer/science officer Mr. Spock, chief medical officer Dr. McCoy to treat any surviving Defiant crew members, and navigator, ensign Pavel Checkov.

That made Bones fell like shit after seeing that, Kirk also told Spock if he needs help to seek out Dr McCoy he always was a help to me- In other works help each other do not act like assholes- Then at the end of this epicode Spock and McCoy both lie to Captin Kirk telling his they never saw the last video of the Captin telling them what to do - Funny i thought Spock couldn't lie?

Mccoy has no problem putting Spock down. Sometimes he acts like he hates Spock. He opens his big mouth and tries to make Spock feel guilty or bad about something and tries to eat his words later and apologize. He shoots from the hip without thinking how cruel and hurtful his words can be. He tries to backtrack and say" I am sorry Spock", the thoughtless cruel words have already been said and heard. You cannot UNRING a bell.

[@queenheart6167]

he says the hardest words possible just to break down that armored wall of Spock. He knows that Spock is not for the weak. And between you and me, people who seem to lack an ounce of empathy are annoying.

[@T.Florenz]

He's being affected by the Tholian Web in this video. He speaks the truth when he says that he's sorry, and he knows it's nothing that Spock's done, it must be the space getting to him, too. I don't think McCoy realized it was affecting him so much until that moment, when it had strained his body to the point of passing out. But thankfully Spock understood.

This is a poorly written scene IMO, it's out of character for McCoy to show outright hate and distrust of Spock. This could've been handled way better

[@danbasta3677]

Susan A. Thought it is an excellent episode. Yes, it did show a great deal of confrontation between the good Doctor, and the perfectly logical and always unemotional first officer, Mr. Spock, however it also began showing how the good Doctor would eventually come to a mutual agreement with the first officer and began accepting his position as comanding the Enterprise when the Captain was absent. Please note though, that although there was a constant confrontation between the good Doctor and the science officer, second in command, they did have a deep respect for each other's scientigic skills and knowledge, and began to eventually accept each other accordingly.

[@Ares99999]

McCoy is unusually confrontational here, and at times is slightly irrational. But remember that the area they were in tended to have a psychological effect, something the episode touches upon quite often. McCoy was likely affected, and it heightened his temper. I frankly doubt that McCoy would normally have been this distrustful towards Spock.

[@geso101]

@@Ares99999 Agreed that he is affected by the space. I think he is also in pain due to the loss of his friend, and so he irrationally accuses Spock of wanting the command of the Enterprise (even if Spock did not choose to leave, which would have guaranteed the command). McCoy doesn’t accept Spock as Captain (not until later in the episode) and he keeps challenging his decisions, because he doesn’t want to accept Kirk’s death.

[@geso101]

@@Ares99999 On the other hand, he pushes Spock hard to admit his emotions by asking him why he chose to stay. Spock of course avoids answering directly, which causes McCoy to push even more. Eventually Spock implicitly admits that he is also in pain with his answer: “What would you have me say Doctor?”

[@x-venturegaming9951]

@@geso101 I think McCoy might have bipolar. He might've blamed Spock for Kirk's loss even though he was innocent and it wasn't his fault and he didn't have anything to do with it.
