Let's just "free-associate" about Spock for a few moments here, shall we?
- What if Spock and Lucy had mated? What kind of other worldly spawn would result? I think the last post (thank you Lisa) comes up with a pretty good approximation.
- What exactly is the juxtaposition between Vulcans and cats? A few weeks ago, Lisa posted a delightful video of two cars sparring to the awesome music of the Kirk-Spock fight in "Amok Time". It seemed quite logical to watch cats fight to this iconic music. And posted above is a scene from the original Star Trek where Spock seems smitten by a cat. Odd, because he didn't have the same affinity for Tribbles, and everyone else on the Enterprise went bonkers for Tribbles
- Has there ever, in the history of television, been a more compelling "Bromance" than the relationship between Spock and Kirk? Were these dudes BFF's or what?

- Retail Trek opportunity alert! Walmart now has action figures from the upcoming movie on May 8th for around $6.00 apiece. I, of course, had to purchase the Spock doll, to be used as a computer God on my home office desk. He comes with an adorable detachable hand; you can have either a normal hand or a "Vulcan Salute" hand. I'm posting a picture here....enjoy!
- What is your favorite original Star Trek catchphrase?
- Live long and prosper
- He's dead, Jim!
- I am responsible for the lives of 357 crew people
- Beam me up, Scotty
I think my fave phrase used to be "Live Long and Prosper" but as I grow older I love McCoy so I might have to change it to "He's dead, Jim!". Great post! I need to get one of those Spock dolls, too!
ReplyDeleteGet the Kirk! Then you can have him "friend" my Spock on MySpace and Facebook.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there will be any end to this insanity. Do you ever read the comments on the original Star Trek posts on YouTube? I swear they are just as off the charts nuts as our own musings. There is a whole planet full of Trek geeks out there. Apparently, we have all lived long and prospered.
