Mr. Spock At His Most Pointlessly Pedantic (video)

 

Star Trek's writers always had fun with Spock's character...

...especially all the little quirks and idiosyncrasies that made him so much different from humans.

But in this particular episode, they may have gone just a bit overboard.

Mr. Spock At His Most Pointlessly Pedantic (Star Trek: "That Which Survives", 1969)

 

Star Trek's writers often enjoyed having a little fun with Spock's character...

...usually by contrasting his precise, stoic manner with that of his emotional human crewmates.

But in this episode, it's possible that they went just a tad overboard.

The Best Scene In "Star Trek" History? ("The Doomsday Machine", 1967) (video)

Captain Kirk (William Shatner) is aboard the wrecked starship USS Constellation...

...and has aimed it directly into the maw of a renegade war machine headed for Earth.

The ship's is rigged to explode with a 30-second delay, but the transporter is acting up...
...making this an extremely perilous course of action for Kirk.

Sol Kaplan's excellent musical score is one of the best ever written for television.

The SPFX in this episode have since been updated with CGI...
...but many Trek fans much prefer these original effects.

Some shots use a model kit replica of the Enterprise.
Dramatic license is used in the countdown to show simultaneous events.

Many Star Trek fans regard this as the series' best episode ever.

I've always thought "Star Trek III: The Search For Spock" would be much better if it had a "CHiPs" ending. As, of course,  would many others things as well.

Sadly, my many letters to Paramount Pictures suggesting this have thus far fallen upon deaf ears. But now, thanks to the magic of "what if", we can enjoy that very thing right now!

You know that "laugh it up" ending of "The Trouble With Tribbles"?

It always reminded me of the end of a "CHiPS" episode, but without the "CHiPS" theme and the freeze-frames.

And now, here they are! And all's right with the world.

To make matters worse, Admiral Kirk's order to turn off the viewer goes unheeded...

...leading to several moments of awkward silence...

...followed by a surprise accidental transmission.

GRAVITAS VENTURES SECURES WORLDWIDE RIGHTS TO
ADAM NIMOY’S ‘FOR THE LOVE OF SPOCK’

The all-encompassing Star Trek doc featuring the life story of Leonard Nimoy will “boldly go” to select theaters and on demand September 9

Gravitas Ventures has acquired worldwide rights to “For The Love of Spock.” The highly anticipated documentary is not only a tribute to the titular character and the actor who portrayed him but also serves as an homage to the dedicated fans who have adored and respected him for decades. The film premiered at the recent Tribeca Film Festival. It will arrive in U.S. theaters and on demand on September 9, 2016.

"For The Love Of Spock" celebrates the upcoming 50th Anniversary of Star Trek through a personal, intimate look at the life and career of Leonard Nimoy - and his alter ego Mr. Spock - as told by his son, Adam Nimoy, featuring never-before-seen home videos and family photos. Zachary Quinto, William Shatner, George Takei, J.J. Abrams, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldana, Jim Parsons and more join in the celebration revealing why the world holds both Leonard Nimoy and his iconic character so dear and how Star Trek still affects the globe 50 years after it’s origin.

Adam Nimoy stated, "I’m very excited about the world wide release of this film which celebrates the life of my father Leonard Nimoy and his most iconic role. Gravitas approached us early on during production of ‘For The Love Of Spock’ and their enthusiasm and commitment to this project was evident from the start.”

“It’s no secret that ‘Star Trek’ is internationally beloved and has shown the world both on screen and off what it truly means to be a global community,” said Nolan Gallagher, Founder & CEO of Gravitas Ventures. “We are honored to be collaborating with Adam Nimoy and look forward to bringing this film to audiences everywhere during a monumental year in the Star Trek timeline.”

“For the Love of Spock” was embraced by more than 9500 Kickstarter backers, raising $662,640.00 which, at the time, broke the record for the most funded Kickstarter documentary.

“For the Love of Spock” was directed by Adam Nimoy with David Zappone as Executive Producer. Zappone, Kevin Layne and Joseph Kornbrodt of 455 Films at Paramount Studios are the producers, having all also produced the Star Trek-themed documentaries “The Captains,” “Get a Life!” and  “Chaos on the Bridge.”

The deal was negotiated by Nolan Gallagher for Gravitas Ventures and Douglas A. Leeon behalf of the filmmakers.
