I swear, when you consider how often McCoy is on the bridge instead of the ship's medical bay/infirmary/his office, the only logical explanation is that Kirk would deliberately summon McCoy to the bridge whenever he had the chance just so that he could be amused by his and Spock's bantering. This is my head-canon.
Could also be that Kirk just thinks that McCoy offers sound advice that runs counter to Spock and it allows him to develop a balanced view of a given situation between the two of them.
@@invidatauro8922 Well that is how the trio’s dynamic is supposed to work. Spock is pure logic, McCoy is passion and humanity, Kirk is the balance.
Yep, it would be pretty boring sitting there all day when nothing was happening, needs something to make the time pass lol
Its really just a practical concern for making the show
I like how in the reboot it makes the Enterprise feel REALLY big and full of people
Bones, as the head doctor, probably doesnt actually need to be there. There would be other doctors under him that can take care of simple booboos
In terms of the Trek universe Bones is also - technically - a consular as well as a Doctor
In charge of both physical and mental health - and the mental (as well as physical) health of the captain would be a big concern for him
For all the times McCoy argued with Spock and insulted him, the second anybody else decided to, McCoy didn't stand for any of it. When push came to shove, they had each others' backs.
Brothers
That's because the banter was one of true friends teasing each other. Only true friends get to do that without consequence.
Spock and McCoy argue the way only the best of friends can.
Right? It's the same with Martin and Pam on Martin. They clowned each other all day but if someone else tried to they had each other's backs.
@@scionofdorn9101 well spock seems visible uncomfortable at some times when mccoy does his you green blooded pointy eared whatchamacallit routine and he even says so in one episode name escapes me right now but it's the episode where spock turns into a vulcan of past time.
I have a feeling that DeForest Kelley and Leonard Nimoy are still arguing in heaven.
They were quite good friends. 😊
They loved each other as brothers
He many times do you suppose he's called Spock a "Green blooded son of a bitch" by now? xD
Bartman954 Reb Leib and Jackson!? Yes
Lol Dude, They were friends between a 101 year old and a 90 year old
"Now you're sounding like Spock."
"If you get nasty, I'm gonna leave."
😂😂👍
"but Mr. Spock, you said there is always an alternative"
Spock: "did i? I must have been mistaken"
McCoy: "at least, i lived long enough to hear that" 😂😂
The other one I like is when Spock says "I made an error in my calculations." McCoy says "Oh? This could be a historic occasion."
@@jaymike3302 a very
@@jaymike3302 Kirk: "Gentlemen, please."
"Now you're sounding like Spock."
"If you're gonna get nasty, I'm gonna leave."
A personal favorite.
McCoy: Spock, I don't know too much about these little tribbles yet, but there is one thing I have discovered!
Spock: What is that, doctor?
McCoy: I like them. Better than I like you.
Spock: Doctor, they do indeed have one redeeming characteristic.
McCoy: What's that?
Spock: They do not talk too much.
Spock is so sassy
Nobody knows how to throw shade and make it sound as dispassionate like a Vulcan.
Lol McCoy thinks he can't hold his own in an argument he is sorely mistaken
According to myth, Mr Spock and Dr McCoy are still arguing in the afterlife, unable to stop because Captain Kirk is not around to mediate them. And Mr Scott is enjoying every second of it.
And Chapel is sitting next to Scotty.
why is kirk not in the afterlife? Both of them lived until the time of Star Trek Next Generation while Kirk died nearly a century earlier.
@@gameking8809 Because Shatner is still alive?
And now Uhura is with them being amused.
@@gameking8809 Kirk survived. He was in the Nexus where he met Jean-Luc Picard. They emerged in the 24th century, and if you believe the Shatnerverse novels, he still lives.
Only true friends can disagree so much, and still keep each other's company.
Charles Summers Well, Spock knew McCoy wasn't being serious with his insults most of the time. I'm sure Spock knows about the concept of the friendly insult.
It is a very rare thing to have such friends.
Going back and forth with each other like liberal and conservative friends
Charles Summers that is so true. If I may add, in the ribbing of each other you can tell the very deep level of respect and love they have.
they're colleagues on a spaceship, it's not like they have much choice
It's quite telling that the first thing McCoy does when his experimental cure goes awry is yell "SPOOOOOCK!"
The way Spock, a touch-telepath, tenderly holds Bones' hands in those scenes always got me 🧡
McCoy: "Mr. Spock, you're the most cold blooded man I've ever known."
Spock: "Why, thank you, doctor."
"I'm sure the universe is full of intelligent life. It's just been too intelligent to come here."
― Arthur C. Clarke
Brilliant!
"You bet your pointed ears I am" CAPTAAAAAAIN. DR. MCCOY IS TALKING ABOUT MY EARS AGAIN!!
lol that's not too far-fetched actually
MJR Taurus “stop fighting I’ll turn this ship around!!”
"You bet your pointed ears I am"
"Too bad... you don't have pointed ears to use for a bet"
(poker joke)
"You bet your pointed ears I am"
"And I raise you... an eyebrow."
The show is almost 60 years old and it’s still great. The stories and the acting are just timeless.
"Ill Drink To That"
Got to love that line in Star Trek 3 when Kirk explains to McCoy he's suffering from a Vulcan mind meld. "That green-blooded son of a bitch!"
"It's his revenge for all those arguments he lost!"
oh you mean the Star Trek Movie "The Search For Spock" at first I didn't understand what you meant.
Oh I love that line, McCoy just realised that he is being played at by Spock as revenge.
@apphappy3796 Really dude? 😑😑
Please go look at the movie again and watch the titles at the beginning.The name of the movie is star trek III the search for spock.
Not Star Trek The Search For Spock.
All TOS movies are numbered.
TNG Movies Aren't.
Dummy.
@rawyld 3 isn't the best story but boy it has some great moments.
"Klingon Bastard! You just killed my son!"
@apphappy3796 check out the opening titles. All the TOS movies are numbered.
It's name is
STAR TREK III
THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK
Spock: The brain. Logic. Reason. Pragmatism.
McCoy: The heart. Emotional. Impulsive. Passionate.
Kirk: The Human. Bringing these conflicting parts together to solve any problem.
That's a neat way to put it!
As they put it in DBT:
McCoy: Emotion Mind
Spock: Reason Mind
Kirk: Wise Mind
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that there is something Shakespearean about the relationship of these characters. Great writing. I guess that's why this show spawned so many multi-million dollar sequels and cost the corporate morons a boatload of cash.
When you say "there is something Shakespearean about the" characters relationships, what exactly do you mean by that? And what specifically about their relationship are you referring to?@@TheChonaman
@@nathanielschwartz425 Complex, dramatic, comedic. Pretty much everything you would want to watch if you were a sentient human being. That's what Shakespeare did, and most of us love him for his brilliant understanding of these concepts. I hope this answers/ satisfies your question.
I read somewhere that in one episode i don't know which one, Nimoy was leaning over Kelly and Kelly raised up and kissed Nimoy on the nose. At first, Nimoy was startled then busted up laughing. For the rest of the day when they tried to reshoot the scene whenever Nimoy or Kelly got close to one another one or both of them would crack up laughing. Finally the director gave up and called it a day.
🧡
Spock & McCoy had an " Odd Couple " relationship, but deep down they had a grudging respect for one another.
Well if you're going to get nasty I'm going to leave.
Incorrect. It wasn't a grudging respect, it was a genuine friendship.
Without meaning to be insensitive to Vulcans....it was love.
genuine respect too, imo
@scion
Spock and McCoy can now argue for the rest of time.
+Rachel Wyld :( ♥
:'(
A year later and I'm still crying 💗
:( Love the bromance
Somewhere in Heaven, Scotty, McCoy and Spock are having coffee at a cafe. Hesitantly McCoy says 'Spock, all those time I spoke badly of you...I was wrong. I'm Sorry' Spock replies with a faint smile 'If the Captain were here I'm sure he would say Forget it, Bones'. McCoy added 'another thing ...do you recall that time in the mountains were Jim said he'd die alone?' Scotty grins wickedly. 'Well...We're dead Jim!'
Its hard to make a Vulcan crack up laughing...
Bar none one of the best developed and most wonderfully dynamic friendships in the history of fiction, of any kind. RIP Leonard Nimoy, DeForrest Kelly.
And James Doohan as well as Grace Lee Whitney and others who mattered
"And as for my anatomy being different to yours, I am delighted."
God the *burns!!*
That was a nice subtle touch on the shoulder Spock gave McCoy when asking for an atmosphere analysis. Try as he may, his human side unwittingly shines through with McCoy. He also doesn't want to admit he's nervous about being in command.
Thanks for pointing that moment out!! So cute
Spock: My father's race was spared the dubious benefits of alcohol.
McCoy: Oh, now I know why they were conquered.
Classic
"Doctor, my people where never conquered?"
"No your drunk!"
Yet he did drink ocassionally.
"Thank you doctor, I will have a brandy."
Spock - 'Requiem for Methuselah'
@@ThekiBoran Hey, now, Spock didn't say he never drinks alcohol. He's just naturally resistant to its "dubious benefits". In this case, what's he's really saying to McCoy is, "Can the bullshit, this is serious."
Another good part of that scene is how it puts the lie to the pop-culture idea of Kirk, presented on this show as a rigorous captain with a logical mind. As Kirk's best friend, Spock knows he's no tail-chaser, that in the case of a beautiful woman, Kirk is more like Spock than he is like McCoy.
"That green blooded son of a bitch. It's his revenge for all the arguments he lost!"
The difference of Nimoy's spock and all other vulcans in star trek is that all others are monotone to show no emotions.. Spock wasn't. It is amazing how Nimoy nail it that no one else did
Well... he's half-human
I would offer the suggestion that the difference is because all the others were attempting to recreate what Leonard Nimoy did, in many cases after having their role shoehorned into the show, no matter how out of place they may have been. Instead of creating their own take, if you will, on being Vulcan, they either tried to out-Vulcan him, or they tried to copy him. Also, Vulcans were not devoid of emotions - instead, they had mastered them. That was a bit of canon often overlooked. Spock's human half made it harder for him to control them as easily, but Vulcans had them.
I love how Spock can show emotion with little facial muscular work like he has his own body language and face expressions ,at first I thought Spock never showed emotion but now I can read him , like the way he raises his eyebrows is diffrent each time
Leonard nimoy was such an amazing actor
i will say, t'pol (i can't remember the actress' name off the top of my head) from enterprise did a really good job as well.
Beyond the original series was Shatner and Nimoys budding friendship. This is much focused on in the more recent times, then backword toward the original series again.
It shouldn't be forgotten that it was these 3 who made the core of Star Trek interesting.
I think it was McCoys banter that actually helped to illuminate Leonards Vulcan persona.
Leonards vulca personality? Do you mean spocks?
@@brookerichard6260 Leonard Nimoy was very much "immersed" into the role at that time. Walter Koenig (Chekov) says that he mostly got to see Spock than Leonard, because the actor was keeping the role even when the camera was off. Something similar was mentioned by Nimoy's son.
LOL at 9:16. "if you are gonna get nasty, i'm gonna leave."
5:26
Kirk: So, what do we think about these Romulans?
Spock: Extremely dangerous; kill on sight.
McCoy: But they could be related to you.
Spock: Exactly.
Thats the point when Styles probably was "ok, I may have been wrong about Spock"
😂
And so.later in the series, Spock nearly falls in love with one of them! (The female Romulan Commander, played be the wonderful Joanne Linville, role reprised by her daughter Amy Rydell in Star Trek Continues) 10:39
Happy 100th birthday to DeForest Kelley (1920-1999). I still find it so amazing that so many fans became doctors thanks to his performance and who possibly forget his amazing chemistry with co-stars Bill Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. Happy birthday doctor.
The writers gave these two actors great material to work with :)
For me, Spock McCoy going at was next part of the show.
I can't help but think that all the writers basically wrote the Spock - McCoy bits first and then tried to make a story around it. :)
i really love how bones literally just sits on spock’s station ... his power
"Interesting. You Earth people glorify organized violence for forty centuries, but you imprison those who employ it privately."
I like it! Ima gonna steal it! :)
"Why is it that when a man kills another man in battle, it's called heroic....but when he does so in the heat of passion...its called murder.." - Wayne's World.
@@barb7124 in one case he's a tool of the state and useful, in the other he's disturbing the order and usurping the state's monopoly on violence.
I love their love-hate relationship SO much. Whether they admit to that description or not.
Its fascinating and illogical that we enjoy this banter so much....
agreed.
Peter Hunt. I'll second that ! !
"The fact that my internal arrangements differ from you doctor pleases me to no end"
LMAO 😂😂😂
Nothing like the original! RIP to both Leonard Nimoy and Deforest Kelley and thanks for the memories.
I totally agree and deny anything calling itself Star Trek from 2009 onward - except Karl Urban, that's doing justice to the character
This video has been my constant companion for sleepless nights. Leonard Nimoy's voice is very calming...
Eriku ism Ah, a fellow Jotaro.
Eriku W. he voices a few audiobook
“Mr. Spock, you’re the most cold-blooded man I’ve ever known.”
“Why thank you doctor.”
Genius reply.
"I thought it was generally accepted, sir, that Vulcans are an advanced and most honourable race."
"They are, they are - and damned annoying at times."
"Yes, sir."
- Data and McCoy, 2364
I loved that they included Admiral McCoy for that little scene. The two of them had a good chemistry and Data had a very deep respect for him. It's a pity they didn't include him in another scene during the pilot. I would have loved seeing him giving some advice to Picard and Dr. Crusher.
I always wondered if Data was just being polite, or he actually agreed with doctor.
If it was any other crew member, I'd say former for sure, but Data has unusual talent to state observable truths when anyone else would rather say nothing.
"I don't see no points on your ears, boy."
@@SinewRending "Im, no Vulcan sir, I'm a cyborg."
"Huh, almost as bad"
Please tell me what episode of TNG this is from! I can't rememeber.... ;0
I love how, from 3:08 to 3:22, Dr. McCoy sticks up for Spock; he called out Capt. Kirk for questioning Spock's integrity. He also took Spock's side from 4:50 to 5:20 when discussing the log book; McCoy reminded Jim that Spock was doing his job as he should have.
"Did it ever occur to you that he might like the girl?"
"It occurred. I dismissed it."
"You would."
Spock trusts him with his mind, he must love him.
Nowhere was his katra more heeded that amongst a brainload of emotional thoughts.
@@tomf3150damnit Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a vrekatra!
How much would you have to trust a person to deposit your consciousness and soul into him? While Kirk would have doubtlessly have been Spock’s first choice, the fact that Spock trusted McCoy enough to share that much of himself with the doctor says everything about this unique relationship. Thanks to Nimoy and De Kelley and also to Quinto and Urban for furthering its development.
Shut up Spock, we're rescuing you!
"Why, thank you, _Captain_ McCoy!"
- Did it ever occur that he might like the girl?
- It occurred. I dismissed it.
- You would.
Of course he did🤣🤣🤣
0:13 Kirk is just like "oh lord not again" 😂
Spock & McCoy, best of friends (whether they'll ever admit it or not).
I think they both enjoyed the debates
One of the best relationships in all of fiction.
Dr McCoy was all emotion but the voice of reason and Spok was all logic and Kirk was the best of both !
You know that Bones and Spock are back at it again. Best friends.
And James Doohan!
Indeed!
Reagen Desilets Don't forget Gene, Majel and most recently Grace Lee Whitney.
And now, Nichelle has gone to join them 😭
Nice review. The quality of the video is nice to see. Still, my favorite argument between Bones and Spock is missing.
Bones; "Medical men are trained in logic Mr. Spock".
Spock; "Really doctor. Observing you I assumed it was trial and error".
;p
What episode is that from?
Raven Nivhaar "Bread and Circuses"
Thanks! :D
Coral Roper Second season episode. I should like to point out that Merikus, Captain Merrik there in that episode, is actor William Smithers as he along with Morgan Woodward and actress Susan Howard from the third season episode of Star Trek, Day Of The Dove were also on the tv evening soap opera show, Dallas.
My favorite part 10:01. Spock is standing there with his hands behind his back, staring straight ahead. Bones
"Shouldn't you be working on your time warp calculations Mr Spock???" Spock "I am" LMAO!! I wish I could be like him...
"You should be told the difference between empiricism and stubbornness, Doctor."
"Well if you're gonna get nasty, I'm going to leave." Love it. :)
Spock doing mental math is pretty cool.
Spock and McCoy were just bro's, you can feel the respect in the banter!
One of my favorite on-screen relationships.
Man I love their relationship. Possibly the only two characters who argue all the time in Star Trek :D
Tuvok & Neelix
Odo & Quark
There are many reasons this show was great and very ahead of its time.....The banter between Spock and Mcoy was but one of them.
As a child, I connected heavily with Spock. I had an aggressive and emotional side, and I had a gentle and more reserved side. Then I found out I had Bipolar Disorder, which explained my emotional outbursts. I have control of myself now, but it's still like being split in two halves.
The chemistry with the three characters and the rest of the cast was wonderful.
1:33
Kirk: "you got served"
Bones: "you know what? I got served"
Galileo 7 has to be the funniest they’re practically arguing throughout the entire episode
As much fun as it is to watch them bicker, it makes the moments when they do stick up for or help each other out all the more poignant. For all the back and forth it shows they do, ultimately, respect each other's skills and talents and count each other as friends. :)
Spock vs Bones was one of the major parts of the show. Passion and emotion vs logic and intellect. Great actors. RIP to both.
The best part is when they stick up for the other. At face value it looks like they barely tolerate each other, but in reality they'd jump on a grenade for the other.
The friends that argue are the ones who care. I love their friendship.
We miss you Leonard and Deforest x
It has been 20 years or more since I last watched all of the original Star Trek episodes, and I had forgotten how important to the TOS' attractiveness the Spock-McCoy relationship was -- perhaps more than either of the characters' relationships with Kirk. If Kirk was the glue that held the ensemble cast together, Spock and McCoy were a huge part of its charm.
I love the Jim-Spock-Bones bromance.
I love how half the time they literally just talk over each other, and don't let the other finish their sentence :'D
They're great!
This ongoing back and forth is one of the key elements of this series that continues to distinguish it, to this day.
One of the more interesting relationships because they were both playing second fiddle to Shatner. It's rare to get a good supporting cast relationship right. But then all of the final lineup was quite strong, Scotty, Uhura, Chekhov, Sulu, all had well developed characters.
One of the greatest Friend/Foil relationships in tv history.
Cretinous Jester Yes, and no. Creator Gene Roddenberry, while watching the constant confrontation between ole Doc Adams and Festus on Gunsmoke, always thought it humourous, and therefore included that very same humor in his own show, The Originsl Star Trek Series, a series to in which I am an avid fan of.
RIP. Nimoy was more talented than most people know.
But even his talent couldn't make the "Bilbo Baggins" song any better than a pile of steaming crap.
@@bootstrapperwilson7687 Knowing that he sang that song makes me sad 😢
These classic lines were pure genius. RIP, Spock and Bones.
They literally couldn't be more different if they tried, but they'd do just about anything for each other. I love it.
Spock and McCoy may have disliked each other, but they did greatly respect each other. And out of that respect, they became friends.
I love how, as much as Bones and Spock like to take the mickey out of each other....Bones will still defend Spock when the need arises.
Kirk was always amused by their banter but never wanted it to get out of hand.
I love this show...
Spock: "Without emotion there is no motive for violence."
Also Spock: "So here's why we should go to war with the Romulans despite never interacting with them."
At the beginning of this clip, Spock reminded me so much of Zachary Quinto's performance.
I'm not preferring one actor to the other, here; it's just a testament to the skills of the guy. He obviously did his homework.
Didn't Zachary watch all the "STOS" episodes?
The only person who came close to that level of "Vulcanism" was Mark Lenard, who played Spock's father. You can see the underlying emotion in him as well, especially in the Star Trek movies.
@menckencynic That's because nobody's ever gonna be Nimoy. Sometimes when an actor owns a role so completely anyone else trying to repeat that magic fails because their interpretation no matter if good pales in comparison. Spock's the type of role that one person defined perfectly that can't be replicated same with Data, Archie Bunker, Edith Bunker, George Jefferson, EMH aka The Doctor, Seven of Nine, Al Bundy, Columbo, Fonzie, Steve Urkel etc.
@menckencynic Well I take it that other actors just don't get the character of Spock or Vulcans in general. Nimoy is the only one who truly got it I suppose.
Quinto worked closely with Nimoy and didn't want to disappoint him. It's not my Spock but he's not a bad Spock.
One of my favorite banter moments is when Spock says he needs McCoy’s advice and McCoy says he needs a drink. 🤣
SPOCK WILL ALWAY BE ONE OF THE BEST WRITTEN CHARACTERS IN ALL OF STARTREK. THANK YOU FOR THE UPLOUD.
The secret of why good Star Trek is good. People you like being funny and clever and warm and thoughtful to each other and making you like them even more. Sometimes, on occasion, a ship might explode or something. But nothing can stop the BANTER.
The best arguments, disagreements and banter any two great characters and actors can have in movie history! Let alone Star Trek History!
Their discussions/Banters will live on! Miss them LM and DK. May they Live Long and Prosper wherever they are!
RIP Leonard Nimoy. 2/27/15
"That is a most illogical attitude." Lol..Leonard Nimoy was pure Vulcan..R.i.p
A great collage of two good friends, who got on each other's nerves from time to time.
the scene from Miri (2:38) is just so... tender. sweet. despite the jabs, they care so much about each other.
NOT to mention the fact that in the episode he sat like that for a while, just... holding his hands. it’s so sweet and endearing.
@@alex-tf2up and Vulcans are touch-telepaths. 🥹 Tender moment
You know, it seems to me they modeled alot of Sheldon's personality off Sassy TOS Spock. That self satisfied look after a witty cutting remark is just hilarious.😂
a friend is one who knows all ourfaults
and still associates with us
This is wonderful, thanks for uploading this. Spock and Mccoy's relationship is one of my favourite things about the show. All the hilarious bitchiness and the friction, while they both still obviously cared about and respected each other too. I'm hoping part 1 means there will be a part 2 ;)
this is amazing it just shows that all you need is friendship
Amazing how none of this sparring between these characters was Gene Roddenberry's idea. That was Roddenberry's true genius, in a way: bringing smart people together to come up with ideas he couldn't.
Live long and prosper Mr Nimoy
Man, watching this makes me love Leonard Nemoy even more. I really enjoy the chemistry between Spock and McCoy. They may not get along all the time, but they are good friends
For an unemotional being Spock is one sarcastic guy!
The best Star Trek ever just because how they interact lol 😂
8:01
...just had to get the last word in, don't you Spock?
