Spock - McCoy banter and friendship Part 8

[@vide0lover]

McCoy is all "You'll never know what Love can drive a man to do" Meanwhile Spock died saving everyone because he loved them

[@DarlingNikki2]

McCoy was speaking of romantic love without acknowledging that there are other forms such as the altruistic love Spock had for his crewmates (well, I guess there was a romantic attachment to Lt. Uhura per the new movies but that's another story lol). I was always under the impression that Vulcans did love, in many ways, but chose to maintain control over it as well so as to keep themselves as logical as possible.

[@FredPlanatia]

he died for the needs of the many.

[@teleportedbreadfor3days]

Plus the truth is, Vulcans actually do love, but they love so much that it almost scares them. We see the true, unchained feelings of Spock’s father years later in TNG, so raw and powerful it’s no wonder they seek to control them.

[@queenheart6167]

Yes. From when Bones said that sentence to the sacrifice he made to save the crew, Spock finally learned. McCoy was right after all.

[@riogrande5761]

Not true. Spock saved them because they were a valuable resource not to be lost if at all possible.

[@Kibogu]

That episode where Spock regresses into savage behavior is fascinating if you think about the fact that McCoy stayed pretty much the same. It calls back to when Khan said "How little man himself has changed." Pretty interesting to think about, I find.

[@jaymike3302]

Very true. Those who think man is enlightened now are the ones who will allow the worst things in history to repeat themselves.

[@Ares99999]

[@spudhead169]

"We had our wars Admiral just as humans did, our planet was devastated, our civilization nearly destroyed, logic saved us. But it took almost 1,500 years to rebuild our world and travel to the stars you humans did the same in less than a century."

[@vandalg282]

Humans evolved (in essence) faster than Vulcans did. A testament to emotions being able to guide an entire race out of the caves....whereas Vulcans were so attached and ruled by their emotions that they required a living saint/profit to guide them away from them, becoming almost robots in a sense, just to not start war. Vulcans were essentially women, who in turn became men.

3:16 It is amazing how subtle Leonard Nimoy's acting is here. He is basically giving a Spock-like speech, in a Spock-like manner, but a subtle change in inflection, and you can tell something very different is going on.

[@jsmurd]

These scenes and the acting are amazing. These actors were underrated. They deserved many Emmy Awards.

[@f.f.fabiana]

These two' relationship... I can't help but wonder how much their relationship would've evolved if they didn't cancel the series

[@danbasta3677]

Fabiana Araujo Agreed. It was a dirty shame those morons ahead of NBC did what they did to the Original Star Trek Series. After the moon landing, this show would have taken off like a rocket, and the sky wouldn't have been the limit.

[@ianciti]

@TheVoiceOfTruth "as we saw in the movies" "you're suffering from a vulcan mind meld doctor" "that green blooded son of a bitch, this is his revenge for all those arguements he lost" ah yes, as in the movies.

[@sandal_thong8631]

There wasn't much room for much further development. McCoy's ignorance of Vulcan culture and disdain for their supposed lack of emotion (or seeming hypocrisy), when it's really about emotional control and logical thinking, is his failing. "Whether you understand it or not grant me my own kind of dignity," said Spock in "The Immunity Syndrome." "Vulcan dignity? How can I grant you what I don't understand?" "Then employ one of your superstitions and wish me luck." "Specifics, Doctor. Labels do not make arguments." "Alright. There's something wrong about a man who never smiles, whose conversation never varies from the routine of the job and who won't talk about his background," McCoy said referring to Mr. Norman in "I, Mudd." "I see," replied Spock who turns and walks away.

[@markseslstorytellerchannel3418]

Leonard Nimoy said that by the end of the show they were repeating ideas. You can only do so much with three guys. That's why DS9 was so much better. The characters had families and friendships which evolved.

[@rayvenkman2087]

I feel like All Our Yesterdays is the culmination of their little conflict where Spock tells him to his face that he never liked the comments about his Vulcan nature through his human half and his answer “Nothing that should have happened long ago” to McCoy despite being under the effect of the time travel device does confirm he wasn’t ever fond of the doctor’s targeting of that half whenever he’s annoyed. Not helped by the fact Spock was close to actually killing him when he confronted his love about the truth which would give anyone pause after that moment. Had there been a Season 4, it probably would have either been forgotten and the status quo is reinstated or they actually acknowledge it. Had TOS been serialised like DS9; it could have been the blow off to an ongoing feud or a lead in towards a new story arc where McCoy realised how antagonistic he’d been coming off towards Spock after hearing how he actually feels and Spock being shaken at how volatile he could actually be to the point of nearly breaking someone’s neck when his Vulcan discipline fails him with both seeing how troubled their friendship are when they need Kirk to be the peacekeeper.

[@deborahingle2301]

"All Our Yesterdays" is still one of my favorite episodes of the original series, just for all the great scenes Spock and McCoy had together.

[@LadyhawksLairDotCom]

I recall reading a Star Trek novel called "Yesterday's Son" in my youth. It's the sequel to this episode. FYI

[@josephmassaro]

Interesting to see Spock lose it, but it makes zero sense. Just because they travel to another time period doesn't mean he should revert to a barbaric Vulcan. It's not the time that makes the man, but the man that makes the time.

[@haso323]

oooooo niiice

[@George040270]

I was thinking the same thing. It's not logical.

[@Valyrianalien]

@RedneckSpaceMan I think it's just one of those funky 'what if the time we were in actually affected us' kinda sci-fi idea without any real scientific basis. Let's call it the magic of the portal. When they travel in time, it also alters their brain chemistry something something. Magic. I mean, they travel in time in other episodes and this doesn't happen, even though humans even 200 years before that time are quite 'barbaric' compared to Starfleet times. Genetically, there's not that much meaningful difference in this kind of species (meaning complex Eukaryote with a large genome and a long generation time) between 5000 years ago and now (think humans 5000 years ago). We know from other lore that Vulcans still have most of their strong emotions and violent tendencies, they just adopted techniques to deal with them. So even if Spock's genetics were to somehow revert, it shouldn't affect his learned abilities by default.

[@JGLewis-jn2km]

A very interesting discussion at 1:07. Spock reveals his hidden humanity here. 'Love' was actually written in his book. What followed is that Spock then approached a sleeping Kirk to do a mind meld with him, so helping him to gently forget what just had transpired...

[@margotrosendorn6371]

I'm surprised Spock didn't succumb to the cold before McCoy. Vulcan is one big desert; I always figured he'd be a fish out of water where snow is involved...

[@anabelamdelgadobenitez6681]

He can control his Physiology, that's why. I thing tha he just made some kind of adjust with his body temperature

[@XxiheartsupermanXx]

The thing is though, McCoy is from the South!

[@RegBeta]

@@XxiheartsupermanXx You do realize that living the south is far more acceptable to very humid warm and/or hot climate than living in the north right?

[@XxiheartsupermanXx]

@@RegBeta ...Yes? I was just commenting on why the cold bothers McCoy so much- because he's not used to freezing wintery temperatures. Granted, I don't think Spock is either since Vulcan is hot, but idk I guess I was just making a joke about how sensitive southerners are to the cold.

4:50: In layman's terms, Spock is telling McCoy, "Keeping fucking with me."

[@tyranusfan]

Going by the stardate, "All Our Yesterdays" is chronologically the last episode of the series...McCoy collapses in the snow. 22 years later, in the last movie he appeared in, McCoy collapses in the snow on Rura Penthe. Neat. :)

[@ai6894]

In the last, original series movie Chekov asked Dr. McCoy if he wants to go back. In the first, next generation series movie Dr. Soran asked Chekov to go back. :)

[@dannyjohnson6323]

The mccoy Spock relationship was a big part of trek

[@biketrailing4277]

5:25 You can hear McCoy's voice break, just a little. It could be that he's worried about Spock, or that he's upset that Spock turned on him - either way, his own emotional barrier slips, for just a second, revealing a rare moment of genuine feeling which he ordinarily shields about as well as Spock does.

Odd that Spock's personality changed but McCoy's didn't.

[@logiciansvlog5800]

I think cause Vulcans, on a telepathic level, are interconnected. Vulcans can telepathically sense when a major event or catastrophe happens to their people. In this case, Spock is reverting back to his ancestors behavior because this telepathic connection still persists- and the Vulcans in this time are barbarians and savages as McCoy later notes. So, it would only make sense.

[@meredithblack2195]

Yeah its cuz they went back in time and Spock reverted to his ancestors aggressive tendicies I think.

[@markmerzweiler909]

Vulcan society was overtaken by a philosophy which fundamentally changed them. Humans created religions and philosophies which didn't.

[@Tokmurok]

@@markmerzweiler909 but humans have, it's just not such a drastic change and our history cycles between civilisation and then down into degeneracy only to become civilised again. Whereas vulcans it would seem do not flow and fluctuate like humans. Or perhaps their destiny will be a millenia of barbarism again at some point. That would be interesting.

They put it on Friday nights when young people were out on dates and not watching. Today they might rebroadcast on a second night if they don't have the programming, or have it on Peacock earlier or at a later date. Also, someone said they might not have computed the ratings properly, so underestimated its popularity. They also demanded it be made quicker and with less expense, which is why there's only one 3rd-season episode shot on location, I believe.

SpiritBear12 Creator, Gene Roddenberry, while watching the jargon going on between ole Doc Adams anc Festus in Gunsmoke, felt that the same type of behavior between the first officer and the good Doctor would also work in his show as well to, and, it did, as although you would have thought that these two were mortal enemies, they both had a secret admiration for each other's scientific skills and knowledge, which produced a close friendship noone else could truly understand.

[@pootpuff1753]

Spock insulted humans and made fun of McCoy just as often as the opposite occurred. It's called banter, and when they're both in their right minds the pair clearly enjoy it. If you're cheering what happened to McCoy, then you should also cheer someone knocking Spock's block off for his constant snide comments about the 'inferiority' of humans.
