"I remember going back and going, ‘No, wait a minute, this isn’t a woman’s role.’ This is … ’cause you gotta think 25 years ago, what I was getting was, you know, “Kids, get off that couch!” and sitcoms and really light stuff where [you were] the girlfriend or the victim or the killer. Nothing well-rounded. And this comes along and I was thinking, ‘Wait a minute this is a man’s role. They made a mistake.’ And when I found out it wasn’t a mistake I was so excited I remember, I had a dark green shift dress … and I went out and got a pair of Doc Martens, and the Doc Martens kind of informed me, where I was and who I was. I listened to a lot of rap back then, I still listen to rap, but I really pounded it in my car on the way to my audition, and that was my prep for it and I walked in and I was fully Kira when I walked in the room."

@lenievi recently brought up the fact that the Intrepid was a human-manned ship docking at the starbase in Court Martial before it was all-Vulcan in Immunity Syndrome, and that it would have been a great time for Sarek to meet Bones in Court Martial while traveling on the Intrepid.

Now, I'm obsessed with the idea that the ship was manned by humans but Sarek was inspecting it for the potential transfer of Starfleet's first all-Vulcan crew to the ship, with the added wrinkle that Sarek was doing so in the hope that Spock will be part of that transfer.

Spock and Sarek run into each other on the Starbase while the trial is happening. Spock finds out what Sarek is doing, and they have a fight about it, which is why Spock both defends his human captain so passionately during the trial, but also why he retreats so hard into cold logic (playing chess with the computer to gather evidence) after he realizes how emotional his earlier defense was.

While the trial is happening, Bones meets Sarek by chance and gets along with him because of his withering assessment of the Intrepid's crew (that is, the people who were mean to Jim), and their current shared annoyance at Starfleet. He enjoys the company of the dryly sarcastic Vulcan, and their conversation is what makes him think to go find Spock engaged in the chess match.

After the events with the actually-alive Finney and the end of the trial, Bones encounters Sarek at the starbase one last time. He looks forward to one more bitchy conversation, but quickly gets concerned when he finds out about why Sarek is on the Intrepid; not because of the all-Vulcan ship Sarek is scouting, but because Sarek mentions that Spock would be an ideal choice for its first officer. Of course, Sarek has never mentioned his relationship to Spock, or even his name, to avoid the impression of impropriety.

Bones is incensed. Why would Spock transfer off the ship, just when their team is working together so well? Why would he want to leave? Sarek says, simply, that "humans do not appreciate his attributes, they mock him, just like they mock Captain Kirk. They are afraid of difference and excellence."

This gives Bones pause. He's embarrassed at his earlier anger at Spock and how he called him "cold-blooded," but he realizes for the first time that he will always appreciate Spock's unique qualities, despite their differences. He remembers defending Spock to Jim during The Menagerie, but that wasn't quite right, either. His defense was about Spock's honour, linked to Spock's Vulcan ethos, but Spock is neither honourable because he is Vulcan, or ingenious because he's part human. He's just Spock.

With this sudden thought, he finds himself giving Sarek a piece of his mind, telling him that Vulcans had historically appreciated Spock even less. After Spock's last-minute saving of them all at the trial, Bones is more sure than ever that Spock's the best first officer in the fleet and that the Enterprise is the ship that truly appreciates what he's worth.

Either Spock manages to secretly overhear this or Spock never finds out, but it doesn't matter anyway, because Bones lets his opinion be heard for real in Operation: Annihilate! Where he's feeling guilty as hell, because he may have ended Spock's career, not only by blinding him but by insisting he stay on the Enterprise in the first place, when he could have been safe on the Intrepid.

This is why Sarek likes Bones enough in Journey to Babel to excuse his teasing and trust him with the unusual surgery and procedures, why Spock and his father are still in a standoff when that episode begins, and why Bones glares at Sarek when he shows up. We don't see Bones' reaction when he realizes the man he had passionately defended Spock to the previous year was...Spock's father.

Then, the Immunity Syndrome happens. And when Bones finds out that the Vulcan-only ship Sarek helped to plan has been destroyed, losing all aboard, because they couldn't think outside the box, like the Enterprise does, like Spock...

He's devastated, thinking about what they could have lost, Spock gone for good, had he followed his father's advice.

And when Spock offers to sacrifice himself for the Enterprise anyway? That's why Bones really can't accept it. After all this, to choose "Vulcan dignity..."

"Shut up, Spock! We're rescuing you!"

"...Why, thank you, Captain McCoy."

Apologies to anyone who read the previous version of this post, which was missing three pages. Whoopsie. I deleted the first post.

From 1989 (after the release of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier), a wonderfully personal interview with DeForest from Star Trek The Official Fan Club magazine.

The behind the scenes/publicity pictures in this article are great!

'The Trouble With Tribbles' Book Review By Ron Fortier

New Post has been published on https://esonetwork.com/the-trouble-with-tribbles-book-review-by-ron-fortier/

'The Trouble With Tribbles' Book Review By Ron Fortier

THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES The Story Behind The Popular Star Trek Episode By David Gerrold Available at Amazon 208 pgs

The Star Trek episode, “The Trouble With Tribbles” aired in Dec of 1967. We were in Vietnam at the time and so obviously didn’t see it. Most likely our first viewing had to have been as a rerun sometime in 1968 after we’d come home and been discharged back into civilian. Our initial reaction; what a fun story. We’d always been sci-fi fans since our high school years. Our heroes were Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, A.E. Van Vogt…and too many others to mention.

Thus it was only a matter of time before we learned who this David Gerrold guy was and via several interviews in various magazines ala “Starlog” we recognized him as the writer of our second favorite Star Trek episode. So we picked up a few of his books and were never disappointed.

Jump ahead lots of years (in between which we became a writer) and who should pop up at our local comic shop one Wednesday afternoon but Mr. David Gerrold, who was making a pit stop in our town of Fort Collins, Colorado, his trip back to California. Meeting him was a pleasure and with other friends, we shared a few hours of lively conversation. Among the books Gerrold had available to purchase and autograph was his behind-the-scenes book regarding the making of “The Trouble With Tribbles.” We scoffed it up immediately.

Lest you think we only enjoy sci-fi and fantasy, our reading taste has always covered a wide spectrum of genres, as the title of the blog will attest. One of the most cherished is books about writing by writers we enjoy. Reading through Gerrold’s memoirs of his experiences was eye-opening, to say the least. His story of what it took to bring his initial idea to actual production is as harrowing an adventure as Ulysses’ own Odyssey. That the thing was produced is in itself almost a miracle. His recollections of working with producer Gene Coon are fun and his tales about being on the Desilu set during the film are endearing. For all he endured, in the end, it is his self-effacing humor that makes this memoir worth your time. Especially if you’ve ever entertained the idea of writing for television.

On that idea, we’ll take a pass. Finally two things. One, his last chapter is precious. If you think little acts of kindness have no lasting effect on the world, think again. Secondly, you can find this wonderful book at Amazon in paperback, hardback and on Kindle. Sadly the only thing you won’t get there is the beautiful wrap-around cover by Ty Templeton that is on our edition. That you’ll have to get from the man himself. Do yourself a favor, it’s more than worth it. As is this truly wonderful book.
