Hello there all,
Well I am sure if you haven't heard by now you know that the Star Trek franchise lost one of it's key characters yesterday. Mister Spock that half Vulcan/half human alien joined the likes of Deforest Kelly, whom was known as "Bones" the ship's medical officer and James Doohan, whom was the chief Engineer of the USS seventeen oh one star ship named the Enterprise. Doohan's character's name was "Scotty" he passed away on
,whom was portrayed by Deforest Kelly who passed away on stardate: 01.11.1999.79 his cause of death was stomach cancer. Doohan causes of beaming away in the very device he was known for operating on the series transported away because Pneumonia and Alzheimer disease.
Let's now remember that this is about the one character that NBC was very positive shouldn't be carried over from the un-aired pilot known as "The Cage" with a whole different cast. Since this is going to be a three part series, since the original series was only three seasons in length this one will deal with what I Matt, feel and think are the favorite Spock moments of stardates 1312.4 thru 3287.2! These include some episodes that later tie into the feature films, sure everyone knows what I'm talking about with "Space Seed" leading to "The Wrath of Khan" but do you see similar hints to "early peace" between the Federation and the Kilgon Empire before you view "The Undiscovered County", the last time the original crew is together. In the very earliest ones which were only two ( I Think?) his tunic wasn't it's famous blue color rather it was
Now here are my top Spock episodes of season one:
3."This Side of Paradise"- In this episode not only is Spock showing his emotional state in the way of love to one the colonists of Omicron Ceti III that he knew from years before, but we learn he does have a first name only that it isn't pronounceable in the human language.
2. "Court Martial"- Sure in truth this one is really one about Kirk, but there is a part where Spock is playing a game of Chess (something still new to me but I'm also still looking for a good place to find a game on my tablet). He tells McCoy that he has beaten the computer four times in row and it should have at least been at least draw, for he had programed the computer with the game months ago. The other important thing that is revealed in the episode is books hold a wealth of knowledge, and still we are more comfortable with computers more than ever, should we be as a society. I don't know the answer any more than you do on that given note?
and here is my number one favorite of season one:
It is one that almost every Trek fan considers the crowning moments of all time episodes for the original series 1. "The City on the Edge of Forever"- The Spock moments in this one showcase fear, racism, (especially the "Mechanical Rice Picker" explanation for Spock's ears is just priceless, or his own about "working with materials of the early twentieth century is like bearskins and knives"....) Still this was the best episode of showing time displacement of the two best friends of Spock and Kirk. Also the price of falling in love with people of the past. Also there happens to be a little throw out here about something I found earlier last weekend at Adventures Underground...... A comic graphic novel titled "The Official Adaptation of Harlan Ellison's original teleplay of The City of on the Edge of Forever" would be a great present for a day known as March twenty fourth 2015 (hint-hint).
To Be Continued.....
