The amazing thing about the great Leonard Nimoy is that when he accepted the role of Spock, he only had the look of the character (pointed ears, haircut) to work with. Everything else about Spock--the nuances, speech pattern, emotional waverings, the Vulcan greeting and shoulder-pinch--was created from the ground up by Nimoy and fleshed out by the writers. One of the best-cast roles EVER.
TM Rezzek Agreed, if you really know the history, DeForest Kelley was originally selected for the Spock role. Gene Roddenberry saw, and said the role simply didn't fit DeForest Kelley, so he made him the chief medical officer, and Leonard Nimoy when adutioned for the role, suited him to the T. It has also been reported that Leonard considered leaving the role after the first season, and actor Lawarance Montage would be considered as a Mr. Spock replacement, as he had an uncanny resemblence to Leonard Nimoy. As we all are quite aware of, Leonard stayed, and yes, he did continue to add several suggestions, and ones were used to develop the mystery of the Spock character as well as the Vulcan civilization and it's people. In the second season episode, The Omega Glory, the hypnotizing effect he was performing on the Yang female was another hidden mystery that was suppose to develop even further if the series would have, could have gone further past the three short seasons it had. This is sad, as the Original Star Trek Series was and is STILL the very BEST Star Trek out there, nothing after it or followed it was any good.
@@danbasta3677 Lawrence Montage got his Vulcan role - as the unlikable Stonn, Spock's rival in Amok Time.
@@danbasta3677 Leonard Nimory was Spock from the first Pilot. When roles were being cast Gene Roddenberry offered DeForest Kelly the choice of three roles, Kirk, McCoy, and although Spock is mentioned as the third, and he chose the Doctor as the character with the most opportunity to inject comedy into the part. Kelly had more screen credits movie and television, plus more experience than either Shatner or Nimory.
@@danbasta3677 The Next Generation
Daaria Naharis he played that role well. I was coincidentally watching that episode yesterday (Amok Time) and I told my wife, that guy playing Stonn never utters a word, but still seems like a complete dick. I wanted Spock to kick his ass, but Bones said he was too weak. That’s pretty good acting when you can come across as a total asshole without saying a word.
"SHUT UP SPOCK, WE'RE RESCUING YOU!!!" "Why thank you, _Captain_ McCoy"
I love these two so much. Their friendship is just the best.
And they had to use that part in “Star Trek: Into Darkness”.
Agree.
The banter between the two alone made the series worth watching.
It's fantastic isn't it.
"Tell Dr. McCoy he should have wished me luck."
_BUT HE DID_
But Spock was not within earshot - akin to the tree that fell in the forest, but no one was around to hear it...
@@hansboofer truly a shame. Also a shame to know McCoy would never tell Spock that he did, in fact, wish him good luck. McCoy has a habit of complementing Spock when Spock isn't around.
@@logiciansvlog5800 Or at least trying to do so. There was that one incident where McCoy says quietly to Kirk, "Please don't tell Spock I said he was the best First Officer in the fleet." But he's not quite quiet enough: Spock (at his station) overhears him and turns to say "Why, thank you, Doctor."
@@mnirwin5112 I know I've seen that! McCoy's embarrassment and realization that Spock heard him was priceless!
While I enjoy their banter, and I know that they cared about each other, and I am not sentimental -- I would have appreciated just a little more moments of "affection"--for "healing" and more balance.
9:53 "Are they enemies, Captain?"
Kirk: "I'm not sure they're sure."
Bones: “Please Spock, do me a favour... don’t say it’s fascinating.”
Spock. “No... but it is *interesting*”
Bones: BIGGEST EYEROLL EVER, ASKING THE SKY FOR STRENGHT, GODDAMMIT DARN VULCAN SMARTASS
My favorite spock McCoy moment
Yes i love that. It's McCoy basically saying "why me?!"
Spock was the original troll before it even became an internet term. Spock and Bones always going at it with an amused Jim playing the middle.
The main trio had such amazing chemistry
I know, right?! That's why original Star Trek will always be my favorite.
@@professionalnerd4055 it IS the best
They made the show so real, and the rest of the cast just added to the magic, Doohan's Scotty especially.
Shut up Spock we're rescuing you.....
why thank you Captain McCoy
LOL
He does make it to Admiral.
Kirk's little grin after that was great.
Don't forget the Nod !
"I had no idea they were trained. Watching you I assumed it was trial and error."
Goddamn, I love Spock.
someone 4:47 Doctor McCoy happy his Best friend is alive =) awww He loves Mr Spock really hehe
That was a great line and very funny.
And Bones is😖😄
Trial and errooorrrrrr
For an emotionless Vulcan, Spock sure could drop shade.
the way he leans in secretively when he brings up mutiny is hilarious
"Shut up Spock, we're rescuing you!" My favourite line in the entire series.
Mine was "SHUT UP SPOCK you botched the acyticholine test"
"Tell Dr. McCoy he should've wished me luck." Way to zing 'em, Spock. If you have to die inside a giant ameba, at least you got in the last line.
Spock and McCoy go back and forth, and Kirk just smiles.
star trek has the most chemistry of all of the star trek shows.
Still the best instalment of the Star Trek franchise.
absolutely
agreed my personal rank TOS--DSN--Animated--TNG--ENT--Voyager
orgonko the wildly untamed agree :)
And the best part is it’s the original!
2:17 McCoy’s little smile after Spock says he’d appreciate his company.
I like how the camera zooms in when Spock talks about Scotty and McCoy staging a mutiny.
Not to mention Scotty's face....
Almost like we the audience are eavesdropping with camera framing.
What episode was that?
@@rogerscottcathey Gamesters of Triskelion.
The word "mutiny", aboard a ship, was terrifying.
Especially during the Napoleonic Wars. The British fleet was mostly "pressed"...people rounded up against their will, and forced to serve the duration of the war. Whatever life they had ashore, gone.
Discipline was hard. If there was a mutiny aboard one ship, the fear was that sailors on other ships would join.
The penalty for mutiny was very very harsh.
That topic, was why Spock moved from where he was, went very close, leaned closer still...then VERY SOFTLY reaffirmed his authority and then asked his question.
You very clearly see McCoy change. He knew that after that question was asked, to continue roaring and demanding.....could be considered mutiny
(Fun little note...mngentry, who commented above was right......you WERE eavesdropping.....Spock was actually speaking so softly when he said his words, that no one else on the bridge could hear him)
But he did wish you good luck, Spock. He did. Oh, the feels!
There's a Vulcan phrase---"Ben vahl navun"---which translates as "Grant us success".
I remember the first time this was aired, I thought McCoy was cruel and childish in refusing to wish Spock luck while Spock waited. Thankfully he finally did say it, showing he cared, but too late. Then Spock struck him to the heart by saying you should have wished me luck. Aaaugh! 💔👍 Never saw anything like the close relationships in later versions of Star Trek, which made them bland and uninteresting.
McCoy: You're taking us on a wild goose chase.Spock: Doctor, I have no intention of pursuing some wild aquatic fowl.LOL!
The sass in this show kills me oh my lord
How does Spock know about Daniel? Did his mother read the Bible to him of did he read it in his spare time w/o telling anyone? He even quoted the parable about The Lily of the Fields.
@@virginiaconnor8350 the character of Spock was very well read in works from many worlds and cultures. While the Bible does contain a little bit of accurate history it is mostly made of fairy tales and fables to provide life lessons.
@@henrynorcrossii3363 Odd that it was Leonard Nimoy who used a biblical benediction from the Bible for his LLAP welcome. I doubt he thought the Bible was fable. He even quoted from it now and then. "Daniel had only his faith" and a quote about the tribbles: "the lillies of the field".
@@virginiaconnor8350 the discussion wasn't about Leonard Nimoy, even though he grew up in the Jewish faith. The discussion was about the character of Spock being from Vulcan but knowing the stories of the Bible. Mr. Spock was not above using stories from other races and cultures to demonstrate a point.
@@virginiaconnor8350He is versed in earth history and he would have read the Bible as well.
I like that even though Scotty and McCoy are arguing against Spock's plan of action, they never once think of leading a mutiny against him, simply trying to advise him on what they think is the best course of action, and when it's clear that they aren't convincing him, they acquiesce to his logic but agree that there is another search to do.
I will always love Bones using the word Vulcan instead of f*cking
Margaret Armen coined that phrase and it's no wonder she became script editor later on. 👍
He was a third Vulcan, a third human ,and a third Troll.
One quarter Vulcan, one quarter human, one quarter troll and one quarter hobgoblin.
7:28 the look of “Lord, give me strength.”
Especially in a thicker southern twang like "oh laaaaawdy"
4:30 "Shut up Spock, we're rescuing you!" "Why, thank you... CAPTAIN McCoy!"
I love it when at the end of "bread and circuses" Uhura speaks up and trumps them all! 😏
" I ordered you to defend the ship."
" you ordered me to kill
my brother."
" you made that up."
" I did not."
" I know your lying because I happen to know for a fact that don't have a brother."
" technically you are correct I do not have a brother...I have a
half brother."
And an adopted sister.
They may not always get along, but the end they are good friends
I SO used to love this series. I remember hurrying home from work to catch it on our black and white television in the early seventies. And like everyone says, the chemistry between the principal characters is quite superb.
I was 5 (1970) when I got to my last foster family. They had a TV. Every evening, for a year and a half, my foster brother and I would watch Star Trek. A couple different channels played reruns at different times, so 2 episodes, sometimes 3, a day.
We'd sit there, saying the intro..timing it so we said it as it was being said on the tv.
A Trekkie for life. I have TOS on DVD, need to replace my TNG, Babylon 5 torrent downloaded, DS9 on DVD...and the abomination Voyager with that Janeway idiot , on DVD
@@leeshackelford7517 excellent 👍
I laughed when Spock tried to get the Enterprise on the old radio!
Probably has the same frequency...
Brought to you by Bang Bang the sweetest little automatic....
The look on his face is priceless
@@raymondweaver8526 Did you know that James Doohan did that voice? Doohan was so good with accents, he did many during the series.
,,Why, thank you ,CAPTAIN McCoy''.
Best Spock's Thug life ever
My Mom was is a Sci-fi fantasy fanfic! Which meant that was what I grew up on since birth! My first movie was Star Wars! I remember her reading the now famous scroll at the beginning of each episode/movie telling you what was going on at the time! She had every episode of Star Trek and owned every Star Trek book! She kept every book stacked numerically underneath my parents bed in crates! Drove my Dad crazy but she eventually became a librarian because of it! Thanks to the success of Star Wars the Star Trek franchise was able to prosper! My Mom lost it when she found out that they were bringing her beloved series to the big screen! I remember going to church and then the movie theater to see the first movie! I had no idea what was going on as a child but my Mom loved it! I was a Trekkie by proxy! 🤣 Although I’m a hardcore Star Wars fan, I still see every Star Trek movie opening weekend with my Mom! It’s a tradition that still brings my family together! I will respect it until the day I die! God Bless this show for creating a beautiful bond and tradition to my family and my siblings family! This show changed history and lives❣️
Absolutely beautiful! 🥰🧡
Thank You for sharing these profound experiences.
9:03 "Because, Mr. Spock, it is illogical. Rome had no sun worshippers."
Helios: *Am I a joke to you?*
Uh, Helios is greek.
There is Apollo his greek and roman
Sol Invictus as well

I forgot how often Kirk just sat back and enjoyed listening to them b*tch at one another. :-)
He's basically a mediator between an old married couple🤣
"Are yoy out of your Vulcan mind Spock?" -Leonard "Bones" McCoy
The music adds to Spock's loneliness as he walks to the shuttle craft.
by far ne of the best lines from mccoy "you must be out of your vulcan mind"
These two were the best pair ever.
I love how at 6:52 it seems like Kirk is staring into the camera like he’s on The Office
Well, he is Jim after all
Star Trek has always been half epic space adventure and half workplace sitcom
The bit with the radio is hysterical. From “... brought to you by Bang-Bang! “ to Spock’s head shakes. 😂
7:08 My favorite moment in the Spock-McCoy feud.
I love this show! I grew up as a child with these guys, my mentors. When I joined the Navy, I often pretended I was Spock !! 😆😆
Deforest Kelly is the best actor of all time.
1:59 I love how McCoy is like: 'I think this is dumb, When are we leaving?'
lol He's such a Ride or Die. Sure, he'll argue till the cows come home, but the second things are settled he's right there ready to help.
'Who said anything about a mutiny, you stubborn, pointed-eared...' :D Is that a way to speak to your superior in front of the crew, doctor? :D
Joanna Niedziałek 6:02 Scottys smile thats awesome
No...but it's a way you can talk to a trusted friend. THAT was the point.
That quick glance around by McCoy after that comment was reportedly improvised on his part ... checking to make sure the junior officers hadn't heard him. :)
They were so alive. You would never hear anything like that from the TNG crew.
they are like to young kid playmates: the hate each other, they love each other, they cant stand each other, they cant stand being without each other...... sooo cute. in fact spock transferred his mind into Bones when he had to temporarily die
That's why the original Startrek was the best. There was a lot of humor and you felt an attachment to the charachters!
6:58
"A most unfortunate lack in current computer programming is that there is nothing available to immediately replace a starship's surgeon."
ONE CENTURY LATER (And change)
"Please state the nature of the medical emergency."
Science marched on~
It's even better when you remember that EMH occasionally uses McCoy's "I'm a doctor, not a ____" line. Looks like McCoy was counted in regardless of how he felt.
🤣🤣🤣shut up Spock..we're rescuing you..why thank you captain McCoy 🤣🤣🤣
感情と論理の闘いですね!❤😊
*Bones:* You're out of your Vulcan mind Spock.
*Captain America:* Language!!!
*Bones:* Who the hell is that?
At 8:04 Mr. Spock Predicted the Doctor of Voyager the EMH!!!!!😂😂😂
He may have no emotions but there's still something wonderful about Mr. Spock.
Correction: He does have emotions. All Vulcans have emotions. They just work hard to suppress emotional expression as part of their state of being, in deference to pure Logic. Spock, being half human, has to work harder to maintain that balance.
6:32 Kirk: "Oh shit here we go again ..."
3:38,4:49 Love the way they used to smash control buttons with closed fists!
Gosh, I just love them so much
Pure chemistry. Gold!
Spock was always the star of the show
“It’s very simple, an Amplitude Modulation transmission” AM radio in space!
It would actually work fine in space, though
But if they were very far away they could be hearing radio transmissions from hundreds or thousands of years ago
2:43 Does anyone else hear James Doohan (Scotty) as the radio announcer there? Sounds like him.
slashingraven mabe it is I mean he was an actor
It is him. He did a lot of voices.
@mo zack Cool, I didn't know that. I knew he did a lot of work on the animated series. James Doohan was a pretty cool guy.
@@professionalnerd4055 He was so cool in person. Got his autograph at a comic/sci-fi convention in Michigan, so many years ago. His smile was so genuine, as were his words. RIP Lt. Doohan with love.
And IIRC Doohan was the original creator of the Vulcan language.
Spock and McCoy fight alot. But they both have a love for each other. A hate, love relationship!!!!!!!!
Love when McCoy uses logic on Spock and quiets him
Fascinating how Spock assumes that intelligence can be simulated by mere computation.
McCoy's memory engramm, not intelligence.
the "can't kill a computer" killed me
Bones spent waaaayyyy too much time on
the bridge.
He had to nanny them, dangnabbit.
lucky for us.
McKoy is always teasing Spock 😂
4:22 For a person that is too logical and unemotional... he really know how to make a SARCASM
Spock: I recommend that you abandon the attempt... do not risk the ship further on my behalf.
McCoy: SHUT UP SPOCK, WE'RE RESCUING YOU!
Kirk: (grins)
Spock: Why thank you, Captain McCoy"
Kirk: (grins again)
=========================
6:46 That's why Starfleet developed the Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH) about 80+ years of this time.
EMH first seen on Star Trek: First Contact (1996); and then on Star Trek Voyager at the Delta Quadrant
And The Doctor had traces of McCoy in there.
coolest show ever.
we need spock to cure this covid
Boy I loved these shows. I deeply miss it, times were so much happier back then
Brilliant cast, writing, production. Timeless
This is still one of the best sci-fi series of all time!
Brilliant, lol lol Captain McCoy
Spock beams down. Bones I'm coming! You need a doctor! AHEM totally not coming along just to make sure your ok AHEM
Even if Spock & McCoy have differences, they are close friends.
In multiple episodes, they’re willing to risk their lives and die horrible painful deaths for each other.
Why thank you, Captain Mc Coy!
📺Timeless episodes , grew up watching these episodes of McCoy & Spock’s t.v banter 🎭🖖😁
8:00....the sickest burn Spock ever laid on McCoy!
2:57 One of the best Spock-McCoy exchanges in the whole series.
One of the most heart felt. IMO.
8.00 m this exchange is my favorite
00:20 "Are you suggesting they could've transported over a distance of...?! You're out of your Vulcan mind, Spock!"
Don't tell J.J Abrams!!
Too late; Bones used that line in Star Trek (2009).
Step aside Jeff Ross, Spock is the true Roastmaster
This is like watching the 2 personalities of Ratchet the Autobot XD
Holy smokes these writers were amazing.
Well done ! Great editing ! Thanx
star trek was so good for its time , thanks for the great movies
star trek will come about in a thousand years not two hundred
I love watching them!!! ♥️
I love the line "just because you found a discrepancy in a hydrogen cloud?". De Forest Kelley did a superb acting job via his ongoing frustrations with Spock.
6:54
Just wait unti Voyager Spock
Yep. The doctor replaced the surgeon AND commanded the ship as the ECH.
"Daniel, as I recall, had only his faith." is such a cool line to drop, and shows immense insight into the people around him
it's also just a hard line to drop by itself, wew
I grew up on TOS. I have the box set but it's really cool watching the little clips. It only takes me seconds to identify the episode. Could never get into the other incarnations TNG, DS9, Voyager and all the other garbage they came up with. Star Trek belonged to an era. When it was cancelled in '68 I thought it had at least another season left. The movies with the original cast were OK but nothing beats the original series.
'The most unfortunate lack in current computer programming, is that there is nothing available to immediately replace the starship surgeon.' Spock
'Please state the nature of the medical emergency.' EMH
I am 61 years old. I think I first saw the Roman episode as a re-run in the early 70's. I have read and studied all of Shakespeare's works, and I am familiar with his coat of arms. I was surprised to recognize his coat of arms sewn as a patch on the Pro council's jacket. Has anyone else seen this and recognized the patch? 10:41
Spock is awesome!!!
6:24 Actually, Ramses wasn’t “seeking absolute power” he was actually mainly seeking his father’s love and acceptance but, because he never received that, after his father died and he became pharaoh he realized that Moses wanted to free the slaves and he felt that, by giving in to Moses and freeing the Hebrews, he was acting “weak” as his father put it.
Fascinating....
Love all of the characters in Star Trek
:30 You're out of your fulcking mind Spock.
McCoy could be a real pain in the ass. Episodes that stick out in my mind - THE GALILEO SEVEN/THE THOLIAN WEB. But he did offer his life for Spock in THE EMPATH. I think that they just made the character to crabby.
Personally, I love McCoy's character. But I completely agree with you, there were a few episodes where he was a real dick to Spock when he didn't need to be. The episodes that you pointed are great examples because they show when Spock was under stress and in command, and McCoy fighting him every step of the way. There are a few other instances of him just being plain mean, but honestly, I feel that it was overshadowed by all the real concern and respect that the two had for each other. When push came to shove, they could rely on each other.
True
I've always found it interesting how at odds the way McCoy tended to treat Spock was with the otherwise egalitarian racism free Utopia that was represented in the Star Trek universe, or at least aspired to be represented. In particular, the little expressions and jabs he used to undermine Spock, or make fun of him. If you replaced green blood or pointed ears with human phenotypically based racist epitaphs, McCoy would read as such a bigot. None of the Jabs Spock throw back are at that mean level.
It's another one of the reasons I wish the series had been allowed to unfurl for more than three seasons, because over those three seasons we see McCoy become increasingly respectful and transparent about is esteem for Spock, and it would have been interesting to see perhaps an episode dedicated to addressing McCoy's bigotry in that relationship. The closest it comes is in All Our Yesterdays, when the regressed Spock claps back at McCoy's reference to his ears ("I don't like that. I don't think I ever did.") When I first heard that line, I was chilled by how real it was, but it's ultimately brushed over in the context of the episode.
I suppose there's a turning point in Search for Spock in the sacrifice McCoy makes to restore Spock's Katra, but it would have been nice to see it better addressed in the series, when it could have reflected on the contemporary civil rights tensions.
@@caitlyncherro6025 Exactly. MCoy comes off as a little to much of a jerk sometimes, but you can tell he really cares about Spock.
@@lnfreeman Thank you for the general point and all the points as examples. There was some discrepancy of values, and there was some development -- and it would have been good to have seen their relationship have been further developed.
The order of rank is magnificent. The ancient Egyptians would have been fascinated.
