Bones stopping to help the man on crutches that Kirk just mowed down, while they are literally running for their lives from armed guards on the way to save future Earth, is a seriously underrated moment from The One With the Whales.
It may not be as obvious as the moment with the woman who grows a new kidney - but equally shows him as a healer who values his oath above all else.
I recently learned that this line was ad libbed! Was watching an old 80s convention appearance by DeForest Kelley, made not long after this films release, and he said he ad libbed this.
The best bit of the “nuclear wessels” scene, is that Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig literally went out and asked passerby. Not extras; genuine strangers on the street.
See, THIS might convince me to give Star Trek a try.
I have planned a new outfit: Unicorn’s Great San Francisco Spock Garb
So I just got a wonderful idea. I was watching clips from The Voyage Home and thinking about the time I went to San Francisco and got asked by an uber driver if I was a time traveller (I wear 19th century style dresses on the daily, btw. Mostly 1840s but that year I was kinda getting started so it was a bit all over the place). It’s already loads of fun going there and getting asked if I’m a time traveller bc I look like I’m oldtimey, but the next time I go there I might be staying multiple days, and I wanna have fun with it. I think I’m gonna try and sew Spock’s outfit and wear it around the city. Just for shits and giggles and my own personal enjoyment (which are some of the sentiments behind my favourite outfits, aside from aesthetically just fuckin slapping).
I am already collecting reference images. Fellow cosplayers, I wanna know a few things:
Is there a recommended pattern to use to make these robes? If so, where do I get it?
What does the patch at the closure near his shoulder say?
If you have made this outfit, any particular pieces of advice you would’ve liked to hear?
