It reminds me of his character in the pilot, "The Cage." Nimoy said they hadn't settled on Spock's logical character then, and that since Hunter was "low energy" he felt his performance needed to be more dynamic. But I like to think Spock was more relaxed among Pike's crew and became more serious or controlled after that crew disbanded, leaving Spock behind.
We all talk about how adorable "Jim!" is, but how about when T'Pau says "live long and prosper" and Spock, filled with grief and resignation, replies with "I shall do neither. I have killed my captain... And my friend."
And T'Pring doesn't stop causing problems there. She figured heavily into one of the books, to the point where when interacting with her, Spock literally can not bring himself to complete the LLAP phrase.
@@hamhockbeans kirk's definitely the baby brother, but I'm not sure whether Spock or McCoy is the eldest. McCoy looks after everyone... Spock might be the middle since he's more of an outside.
How thoughtful and respectful of McCoy to dismiss nurse Chapel knowing her affection for Spock AND knowing Spock's need for privacy about the whole thing. Nice touch!
I don’t know if it was McCoy’s respect for Spock’s need for privacy or his desire to not be seen by his subordinate as acting like a d¡ck for ridiculing Spock about his emotions.
Everything that made spock what he was was practically born in this episode. A major milestone in the evolution of the character. Thank you Leonard Nimoy for giving us all an endearing and enduring character that stands the test of time. RIP Mr. Nimoy!
That was beautiful Norman berry Mr Spock made being logical Cool in a logical way. And Lenard Nimoy had so much depth to himself so much more than Spock but we know Spock was our Mr Spock does that sound logical?
This episode, "Amok Time", written by Theodore Sturgeon, was one of Nimoy's favorites because it added so much to the character of Spock and the understanding of Vulcans. The Vulcan greeting and the phrase "live long and prosper" originated here.
Actually, that line, "Live long and prosper" originated with The Aaronic Blessing 🙌 from the first line, "May YHVH Bless you and keep you." So, we can all thank YHVH GOD and Moses and for Leonard Nimoy being a Jew!
I've always loved McCoy's serious facial expressions when he confronts spock as if he has genuine hate for him for a decision he's made ..... But you know deep inside he admires and respects him.... But it is also makes these 2 unintentionally comical at the same time 🤣
It's a wonder that he wasn't laughing his ass off instead of going back into Vulcan Mode almost on a dime that they would have Had to do several takes before getting it right. I've tried to see if I could do that myself and never could. I always ended up laughing my ass off and tears in my eyes at the same time. Have to be a Vulcan, I guess. As Nimoy's 1995 book was titled: "I AM Spock."🤣😂
Sarah Dickinson: I notice that you are horrible whenever it comes to people names. In your comment I see two spelling errors. They are as follows: Lenord should be Leonard while Nimkoy should be Nimoy. Please correct your errors. Please go back to school now and reteach yourself the proper spelling because appearently your folks did a very poor job with you.
Spock And McCoy are the Odd Couple with outer space as the setting. They often spar with one another, seemingly having incompatible personalities. But, under the surface they deeply care for each other. Just like two brothers.
@Brian Arbenz Fair. I was trying to replicate Harry Mudd's response in "I, Mudd". "I fail to understand why I should care to induce my mother to purchase falsified patents." "...Forget it."
McCoy kicks the nurse out of the office so he can gush about Spock's ex-wife and the ritual, and then later gives Spock a light ribbing over his outburst upon seeing "Jim" alive. Have there ever been such good friends in all of Science Fiction?
...realizing his opponent wasn't dead after all, Spock snaps back into his trance and finishes Kirk off right there in medical in front of a horrified McCoy and nurse Chapel. Roll credits.
So how the hell are they gonna explain to Vulcan peeps that Kirk is alive? Spock obviously will go back to Vulcan at some point. The fact that they made a mockery of their traditions will put them both on a shit list and diplomatic headache
2:45: Spock should have said he was still suffering some aftereffects and simply didn't remember having such an emotional reaction of happiness or why :p :p :p I love Jim at 2:49
I think it's probably because he is half human so an extreme emotion, in this case grief or horror with what he did, can pull him out of the life or death libido thing. From his description it sounds like Spock isn't entirely sure why it dissipated so it might be a result of his mixed biology he hadn't considered.
Excellent, superb, memorable. All the elements: Drama, action, some suspense, grief, heartbreak and then comedy. Artistic license used skillfully and masterfully. In many of the episodes of Star Trek; you are given a well written, directed and acted hour of struggle and drama used to save the galaxy. Three men, often more, use their resourcefulness, talent, courage, intelligence and futuristic technology. Terrible sacrifice is often involved, sometimes tears . . All this happens within one hour and then always ends with a successful mission completed, a joke and a happy ending . . (most of the time). Too bad the problems on this planet can't be solved the same way.
I have always hated how Bones dismissed the Nurse from the reunion. Why even have her there in the first place? Give her dialogue, some action like scanning Spock for shock or have Kirk sign off on a pad and then leave....something!
I FULLY agree. They treat her as second class just because she is a woman. Also, she has worked with Dr. McCoy for years, and he still calls her "nurse"? Why not Christine??
Nurse is her title, sort of like a rank would be used. I think there were times she was called Chritine, possibly in this episode. So not different than McCoy is called Doctor or Kirk is called Captain. Was not disrespect but he was dismissing her in front of the two highest officers on the ship. Not like he called her sweet heart, babe or honey, etc.
i remember seeing this as a kid in the 80s and I was like finally lol i think at the time i saw the latest movie. I also thought spock is creepy as fuck when he smiled
Are we going to ignore the fact that Spock's "madness" had completely disappeared after he thought he killed Kirk. Like, Spock, who were you actually lusting for? o_O
The combat released the same hormones that his mating with T’Pring would have, thus ending the Pon’Farr madness. Vulcans must be into rough sex, at least during this once every 7 years thing.
A shame this was done by using a cellphone or tablet camera recording a TV screen instead of a normal video capture. I mean, if you have a streaming service accessible through your PC and OBS software, you should be able to capture quality footage to upload.
Pointing your cellphone at a TV set to steal blurry images of copyright-protected material is hardly something I would post on the internet, but what do I know.
Why did they have to dismiss Christine from the room? She has worked with all of them and I am sure she was as interested in hearing all about what happened as the three men. Apparently in the future, women were still considered second-class. (And after years of working with her, McCoy still calls her "nurse" rather than Christine??)
Okay, seriously? Are you that braindead? Apparently, you never watched this episode in its entirety. Spock's Pon Farr is a deeply personal matter to him, as it is to all Vulcans. Spock was ready to disobey Kirk's order to tell him what he was going through, only relenting after Kirk assured him he would keep it strictly confidential. This means Christine remains in the dark about it beyond only knowing that Spock was experiencing a chemical imbalance within his body and a loss of emotional control. The only reason McCoy knows is because he was the one who diagnosed Spock's condition AND he and Kirk are considered Spock's closest friends. This has nothing to do with Christine being a woman and everything to do with trust that Spock's Pon Farr remain confidential as Kirk promised him. And as a physician, McCoy is also bound to that promise. You read way too much into this. McCoy calling her "nurse" is the same as someone calling McCoy "doctor". Get over yourself, you social justice libtard!

Just the absolute DREAD when Spock realizes that McCoy of all people witnessed his emotional reaction.
Because he knows McCoy will never ever forget it ... :)
@@mnirwin5112 So here we are, over 50 years later and...It made me smile and laugh back then, and it still does now.

@@JnEricsonx What was the book?
@@SinewRending Spock's World, I believe. Including one HELL of a monologue from McCoy about Vulcans.
McCoy saved Spock and Kirk from certain death.
Spock's the Man more captivating then Kirk
This excellent scene is one of the best summaries of the Kirk/Spock/McCoy dynamic in all its complexity. Cheers, everyone.
The three brothers in space. Spock being the oldest brother.
@@hamhockbeans kirk's definitely the baby brother, but I'm not sure whether Spock or McCoy is the eldest. McCoy looks after everyone... Spock might be the middle since he's more of an outside.
@@lnfreeman Well, Spock's age definitely makes him the oldest brother even though McCoy looks older than him and Jim LOL.
"I shall do neither. I have killed my captain, and my friend". Damn, that was heartbreaking.
How thoughtful and respectful of McCoy to dismiss nurse Chapel knowing her affection for Spock AND knowing Spock's need for privacy about the whole thing. Nice touch!
Plus she is interested in Spock in a romantic way.
It was a moment only for men. And the most important for cast members.
Nonsense ... Just a bunch of guys being Neanderthals.
@@dbloyd2 well, “knowing her affection for Spock” pretty much covered that.
I don’t know if it was McCoy’s respect for Spock’s need for privacy or his desire to not be seen by his subordinate as acting like a d¡ck for ridiculing Spock about his emotions.

And Lenard Nimoy had so much depth to himself so much more than Spock but we know Spock was our Mr Spock does that sound logical?
Spock calls Kirk his first name and no one says anything. This is GOLD ppl
And not just James but the more familial Jim. Priceless.
Whenever Kirk is in danger he usually calls him Jim instead of Captain. It's a subtle touch but still great.
Ok but he always called him Jim on occasion. That wasn't anything new lol
This episode, "Amok Time", written by Theodore Sturgeon, was one of Nimoy's favorites because it added so much to the character of Spock and the understanding of Vulcans. The Vulcan greeting and the phrase "live long and prosper" originated here.

Theodore sturgeon was a great sci Fi writer... Many works, but I remember microscopic God. Baby is three, more than human, and slow sculpture.
That is the most adorable thing in the world omg my heart can't take it. Awwwwww
You cut off the last quip from Kirk "Come along Spock, time to go mind the store." Or something to that effect. Just as funny.
That damn human half of his DNA acting up again, haha
He's still coming down from the Pon Farr ;)
@@lnfreeman That's what he should have said.
I keep doing pon fars..it's that romulan ale
I've always loved McCoy's serious facial expressions when he confronts spock as if he has genuine hate for him for a decision he's made ..... But you know deep inside he admires and respects him.... But it is also makes these 2 unintentionally comical at the same time 🤣
THe 2 have mutual respect. That's why Spock asks for McCoy to accompany him to his home planet
Vulcans can't lie and yet Spock does so, rather unconvincingly.
He's half-human.
He's half human also
He’s half human. Scapegoat for everything
He exaggerates, as explained in _Wrath of Khan._
That smile! My heart! I’m weak! I wish we got to see Spock smile more often. 😊
Watch the episode of Charlie X when Uhura sings to him/about him.
Watch early Mission Impossible episodes with Nimoy!
Those moments wouldn't be so special if they happened too often.
Darn it, you cut off a really good line there at the end: Kirk: "Come on, Spock. Let's go mind the store."
This.
@@RayoAtra ?
@@Trev0r98 was agreeing
That smile from Spock is classic especially when he says "Jim!". It's like he's saying "You're alive! I won't be court martialed after all."
Or that he's just happy his best friend is still alive lol.
this is the funniest moment of lenord nimkoys acting!!!
No its not funny it's amazing he smiled for once it's more heart warming than funny
It's a wonder that he wasn't laughing his ass off instead of going back into Vulcan Mode almost on a dime that they would have Had to do several takes before getting it right.

1:17 Spock Smiles
One of my favorite scenes where he broke out in that big smile and realized it too late. 🤣
One of my mom's favorite lines from any episode. She loved Star Trek. I miss my mom. Great memories...
Spock And McCoy are the Odd Couple with outer space as the setting. They often spar with one another, seemingly having incompatible personalities. But, under the surface they deeply care for each other. Just like two brothers.
I always envision, when bill passes away, the 3 of them will be together again on the ship and off into eternity ❤️
Spock loses it when he sees Kirk is still alive.
Well ya can't blame him. He was really convinced he killed Kirk
@@dancastro6873 Yes and plus that was his friend.
Your secret's safe with us, Spock.
P.S. like the breaking the fourth wall giggles at the end
They arent friends. They are brothers
Nice cover Spock ;) -wink wink-
This is absolutely one of my favorite scenes!
1:17 For a brief moment Spock was like a young boy in the 5th grade congratulating his team mate for hitting a home run with the bases loaded.
I see no logic in mentioning the optical organ of a swine.
...
Fuh-get it...
@@strangeyoungman Fascinating way to spell "Forget it."
@Brian Arbenz Fair. I was trying to replicate Harry Mudd's response in "I, Mudd".
"I fail to understand why I should care to induce my mother to purchase falsified patents."
"...Forget it."
I was relieved that T’Pau helped Kirk by requesting a delay of the Enterprise.
spock being a cute pie saying JIM! I CANT TAKE THIS 🥺🥺🥺
Maybe my fav scene ever between these three. Pure chemistry.
can watch these episodes over and over
McCoy kicks the nurse out of the office so he can gush about Spock's ex-wife and the ritual, and then later gives Spock a light ribbing over his outburst upon seeing "Jim" alive. Have there ever been such good friends in all of Science Fiction?
Shepard and Garrus? :)
Buck Rogers and Hawk
...realizing his opponent wasn't dead after all, Spock snaps back into his trance and finishes Kirk off right there in medical in front of a horrified McCoy and nurse Chapel. Roll credits.
"C'mon Spock, let's go mind the store." How could you leave THAT part out?? Heehee!
Suuuure, the combat...riiiight ....
Absolutely my favorite thing,,."captain, JIM!"
That was the 1960's equivalent of saying "...NOT!"
The one a few episodes of emotion from Spock. I always envied the ability to control
When Spock is telling Dr McCoy he will be handing in his resignation, I love the way Spock pauses several times whilst speaking. It adds more emotion.
Well written, well directed. Great acting. @hellocristen thank you !
1:11 for those looking for the specific scene.
Love those star fleet mini skirts
Well it was the 60's, the age of the micro mini. Even if these were way shorter than the street ware at the time.
@@anndownsouth5070 they weren't shorter by much lol
The logical course of action was to display emotion!
In heaven in the future meanwhile ,
Shanter: nimoy long time no see
Jim: BLAME McCoy 😅 - it must be very awkward indeed to succeed in making Spock not understanding something!
Deforest Kelley has a giant head.
Great acting by all.
Completely awesome
3 of the best minutes of Star Trek ever.
"C'mon Spck. Let's go mind the store..."
So how the hell are they gonna explain to Vulcan peeps that Kirk is alive? Spock obviously will go back to Vulcan at some point. The fact that they made a mockery of their traditions will put them both on a shit list and diplomatic headache
Like what Ambassador V'Lar said to T'Pol in ENT,
"We're (Vulcans) are not totally without emotion, we're just better at hiding them."
2:45: Spock should have said he was still suffering some aftereffects and simply didn't remember having such an emotional reaction of happiness or why :p :p :p
I love Jim at 2:49
I was going to say the same about using ponfar after effects as an excuse for his emotional outburst. One of my favorite moments in all of Trek
Spock's human side was showing.
You know, the whole issue of Spock's out of control, life or death libido is just.....dropped. Spock's explanation just doesn't wash.
I think it's probably because he is half human so an extreme emotion, in this case grief or horror with what he did, can pull him out of the life or death libido thing. From his description it sounds like Spock isn't entirely sure why it dissipated so it might be a result of his mixed biology he hadn't considered.
Can watch them over and over again

I’ll never get over T’Pau’s bad 16th century English.
Yes,Mr.Spock wouldn’t of wanted to do this!
I always wondered what T'Pau thought about it when she found out that McCoy cheated,
I think she and most Vulcans despised Earthers, which is why she went along with the murderous ritual.
I have wondered that myself in fact. I guess Sarel probably had to do some serious negotiating & smoothing over between T'pau & the Federation!
....Sarek. My phone insists I can't spell & then auto corrects!
