Leonard Nimoy's STAR TREK Memories Part Three

[Verhoeven1980]

@Colossus165

Not really. If its neccesarry to gain resources from a certain area war might be even logical if there is no other way to obtain them (or any other goal).

[JoeGutfeld]

This show was in 1982!! Not 1983! It aired the night before Star Trek 2 was released in theaters.

[garymalone1701]

Taped this on Beta back in 83! Brings back My Star Trek Memories! Thanks.

[swinebread]

I grok Spock

[Spongebobfanaticify]

I can do the vulcan salute with both hands :) and i didnt even have to practice to be able to do either hand

[drpeay]

@Spongebobfanaticify cool story bro.

[SakuraX7]

No accent ^_^

[Torus202]

When I was very young, I couldnt do The Hand symbol at all. I used to Scotch tape my fingers on both hands in that position and leave it like that for hours. I was finally able to do it without tape and was so proud of myself, lol.

[glynamus]

learning his multiplacation tables i see

[grayhairandblueeyes]

The hand symbolizes the three groups of fingers/thumb signify seperate but joined at the hand, or seperate but still joined.

[TwiliPrincessWolf]

HA! I can do it with BOTH hands! *feels special*

[TheWatchGoesTick]

rofl its like leonard says "these are all my best acting scenes......:

[ncast54]

Amazing clip, the Spock charater has a life of its own.

[Choefoe]

I speak it with an accent too,I can only do it with my left hand ;-)

[Milkpaw]

violinists dont need practice to do the vulcan salute! we gots the flexi-fingers!

[TShondratheVulcan]

When Spock/Nimoy is crying in that scene, it sounds like hiccups. hic-hic-hic-hic-hic-hic...

[777danid]

GREAT PLOT- GREAT ACTOR

[gamgee87]

I dunno...this side of Paradise really weirded me out.

[THEJ0KES0nBatsy]

6:25 AWW POOR SPOCK ;(

[XceptingDeniall]

For some reason I felt the need to practice and practice until I learned the Vulcan Salute. Took me 3 days of strenuous finger excersises (half joking) but now I've got the most solid Vulcan Salute I have ever seen. What an accomplishment, huh?

[Reader4077]

sadly enough, i learned how to do it too....

[SweeneyGirl310593]

apparently, Zach Quinto can only do the salute thing with one hand. I can do both!

[felavickie]

@SweeneyGirl310593 Me too. The salute was always natural to me... I was probably Vulcan in my past life =P

[LeftyHandedGuns]

Amok Time and The Naked Time are my favourite episodes, mostly 'cause they're so Spock-centric.

I mean Spock's crying scene in the latter was HILARIOUS and who doesn't love a great throwing of soup bowls in Amok Time?

Best clips.

[msinvincible2000]

I didn't know it was so difficult for some people to do the vulcan salute. How is it possible?

[tgbotg]

Spock having a lover without being under the influence of spores that lower his emotional inhibitions? A mistake you say, Mr. Nimoy.  You probably should've told that to J. J. Abrams.

[felavickie]

@tgbotg It's an alternate reality. He didn't lose his planet and mother in one day in the TOS. He was different in the new movie, that was the whole point. And, if anything Kirk was also different, he was a rebel, he didn't want to join star fleet and he had little respect for authority. Everyone somehow changed.

[tgbotg]

Nothing Nero did in the past should have changed Spock enough for him to have a girlfriend at that point. There is no excuse.

[guv859]

Leonard makes a good point about not overdoing Spock's emotiions. In Star Trek TNG, hardly a week went past without Data acting up and acting out of character, and after the umpteenth ocurrance I could never take him seriously again.

[eddtoro]

the original cast is too old to do any more episodes, but why doesn't someone do an animated 3D version episode and use the original voices. something like the animation in toy story.

[ramtha9]

To me, I always thought Kirk was the physical, McCoy was the emotion, and Spock was the intellect. Maybe Star Trek was popular, because all of the elements of US, as people, were herein contained. I love the Star Trek series. Some of the greatest stuff ever to be on television. Thanks to EnterpriseNX01 for sharing this wonderful stuff!!

[Jitpring]

Good way of putting it. Nice work.

[zundey2000]

@ramtha9 Totally agree with what these 3 beloved characters represent. However I'd like to add that those characteristics are more to do with elements of being human - that's why Star Trek has an appeal that far exceeds the territorial borders of the U.S

[ILoveMrSpock]

Amok time and This sode of paradise are two of my favorite episode =)

[luno44]

Wow. The vulcan solute is from a baby-mutilating religion :(

That's neat that T'Pau was on more than one star trek series.

I love it when Kirk says "Spo..." clears throat "Mr. Spock?"

[imaftergodsheart]

when I was little I duct taped my fingers so I could do the vulcan salute. :) I don't know why I felt like I needed to learn it... but I worked really hard.

[differentmoods15]

lmao Vulcans are allmighty Jews :P

[girlobsessed]

This Side of Paradise is the episode that made me fall in love with Spock, and Star Trek, too, I think. I was also really jealous of Jill Ireland!

[fgeorge76]

Again something older Nimoy (circa 2004) appreciated better to as why you don't look at that hand symbol in theory during Jewish Mass.

[gamesport88]

I always wondered how the Vulcan salute came to be. Now I know!

I can do it well with my left hand but it hurts when I try it with my right hand. Ironically, I AM right handed!

[Carrieee0x]

'This Side Of Paradise' is one of my favorite episodes. Leonard plays an excellent part in it :)

[Drez26]

i have this on tape when it was first on! It was recorded on our very first VCR.

[sapphiresteddibear]

DC Fontana is one of the greatest writers for television ever. "This Side of Paradise" DID pull off the impossible. it was a brilliant, sensitive love story for Spock, and Nimoy is brilliant in it, as was the late Jill Ireland, rest in peace. She was Charles Bronson's wife for many years until she passed from cancer some years ago. A beautiful lady. I love when she says "You never told me if you had another name, Mr Spock." He smiles, brushing her hair back and replies "you couldn't pronounce it

[henkman00]

Spock has emotions but ignores them, Data has emotions and wants them. same character? yes and no. Spock trains al his life to be the man he wants to be, Data just adds hardware. (E-chip)

i mis Star trek (TOS that is)

[leandar]

Spock does not ignore his emotions, Spock is very much aware of his emotions, he simply keeps them tightly controlled as do most Vulcans. It was "Sarek" from TNG that established that Vulcan emotions are so intense they would overwhelm a human as they did Picard during his mind meld with Sarek. So it must take an incredible amount of mental discipline for Vulcans to control their emotions in the manner of which is spoken.

[henkman00]

that is what i mean, you just said it better than i did! :) i just simplified it to make my Spock/Data point

only i mean Data does not have emotions but wants them

[Fruth37]

Spock won't answer his damn cell phone!

[MrJbroeder]

@Fruth37 Spock uses communicator!

[iluvanimorphs]

the naked time is the best! poor spock

[Pribinace]

yes its is the same T pau

[rhinoburger]

I wonder if that is the same T'Pau from Enterprise? It would make sense, since she received Surak's katra

[whippetgirl1]

No the one from Enterprise is T'Pol

[Hoopermazing]

whippetgirl1 - T'Pol was supposed to be T'Pau... but they wanted her to be a whore. So, they changed the name. It would have made much much more sense if the hack writers of Enterprise had left the character as young T'Pau.

[MagicAlDF]

Some of the episode clips play without their musical score. I guess this special only had so much budget for royalties.

[whhyyyyyyyyyy]

the lady should have grabbed him and than he would start the kiss would have been better concidering spocks no emotion thing

[BlackValkyire]

immense acting by leonard nimoy in that clip

[lifenavigator]

Star Trek is the best thing that hit the planet! And, I have a life too!

[ValkyrieStar]

this is awesome

"i speak it with an accent" LOL

[greengrendel]

That's great! I wish I could be that coherent if I ever meet Len. I'd probably gibber :)

[Shipgate]

Leonard Nimoy is way suave.

[sharpo]

Spock Rocks.

[deadringersilence]

THIS IS SO TOTALLY LOGICAL....LOL....oops thats not though

[TitanicTarn]

Very interesting!!

[eegah2000]

I think you meant to say "fascinating!" ;)

[dbirdwell]

I never saw this. Thanks.
