The imagination of 30 years ago has not faded

"Star Trek" can actually be seen as an adventure that makes extensive use of cutting-edge physics. In "Star Adventure", when Kirk and the other four walked towards Voyager 6 with pistols, it was no different from a traditional adventure film.

What's interesting is that people like to imagine higher civilization as a purely logical, advanced, and therefore cold, aestheticless civilization. However, if it really possesses the knowledge of transcending the universe and absorbs and replicates those civilizations with high aesthetics, how can it not possess the knowledge of beauty?

The story logic of "Star Adventure" is this: all logical judgments, including collection and learning, can be achieved as a machine, but evolution beyond this requires human characteristics. There is a potential judgment here, that is, human quality, including beauty, is higher than logic. The imagination beyond physics has once again appeared: the communication and even integration between humans and machines. First there was Spock's conscious contact with the mighty, and then there was a combination of Will and Voyager6.

In this episode, Spock's image is perfect. Spock actually embodies people's dual pursuit of strength and wisdom, and the dual affirmation of virtue and emotion. In the process of understanding the mighty man, his image of a wise man is very powerful; when he went to explore the depths of the planet alone, it reflected his fearlessness, even more fearless than Kirk. Leonard Nimoy, who plays Spock, is 46 years old at this time, but he fully embodies Spock's charm.
