If you want to ask me which character is my favorite, it is really difficult to answer, Dr. McCoy I am not very keen, but it is said that after watching this TV series, there are not a few fans who aspire to be a doctor. And Spock and Kirk are really difficult to choose. Of course, Spock's role settings are much more elaborate. Almost the three roles of Data, Riker, and Troy in TNG are worthy of a Spock. You see that he is strong, has a long lifespan, is extremely clever, has excellent memory, and is actually a contact type telepathic clan. Every time the "landing party" goes out on an adventure in TOS, he is really a conqueror. .
Speaking of landing parties, what you have to know is the allusion of TOS that "the red uniforms are mostly cannon fodder". In the TOS series, the red uniforms are security and technical posts, such as: Security and Engineering. , Communication, etc., only the two main characters in the TOS series, Scott and Uhura, have been spared many times even though they are in red. The others are even Kirk when he is finished in the seventh film. So when you see Engineer Olson in the red uniform in the 11th movie yelling, "Can't wait to kick some Romulan ass", you will be extremely sympathetic to him. Let's talk about the command and tactical positions in yellow uniforms, such as Helmsman, Navigation, and of course our beloved Captain of the Enterprise, James.Tiberius.Kirk. (By the way, the Captain’s Middle Name was set for him in TAS.) These two-color uniforms were just reversed in the TNG era, so we will see that Captain Picard and other commanders wear dark Red uniforms, and the security guards and engineers changed into khaki uniforms. Only Data seemed to be an exception. As the second officer, he was wearing a yellow uniform. Wearing blue uniforms are personnel from the scientific research department (Science), medical department personnel (Medical), etc.
Although Spock in TOS is the ship’s First Officer, second only to Captain Kirk’s commander, he is also the Chief Science Officer, leading the research work of the entire ship (^_^ ). I personally think that he is very good as a blue uniformed person, but as a commander, he has been so angry that his subordinates have made smoke more than once, and he can't wait to rebel. The most obvious example is the 16th episode of Season 1 (S1E16: The Galileo Seven), where 6 people followed him on missions, 2 of his subordinates died, and 2 of them said to him: "I'm tired of listening to your logic!". Relatively speaking, Kirk's commanding ability is much higher than that of Spock. This is also the most fundamental setting of the captain's role. Everyone who looks handsome and shows mercy should be understandable. In the second movie, Spock gave him a precise comment: Commanding a Starship is the most suitable position for you, and any other position is a waste of your innate commanding talents. The so-called command ability is not only the ability to control tactics and strategies, but also the ability to control subordinates. There have been several dangers that depended on Kirk's calmness and boldness, and his lotus eloquence. The most obvious examples are: S1E10 The Corbomite Maneuver (the captain bluffs aliens with a three-inch tongue), S1E14 Balance Of Terror (Romulan's first appearance, the captain is chasing after him), S1E29 Operation-Annihilate! (The choice between destroying millions of people and saving billions), S2E3 The Changeling (Speaking of a robot as smoking), S2E6 The Doomsday Machine (how to remotely command your subordinates), S2E10Journey To Babel (injured command), S2E15 The Trouble With Tribbles (how to deal with pressure from the military high-level), S2E18 The Immunity Syndrome (this episode is the most ruthless, when necessary) Can send Spock out on suicide missions).
I privately divided the TV series of TOS into several categories, such as the tactical command category mentioned above, and the other category is the K/S interactive category. This category of Trekkie girls is familiar, such as: S1E04 The Naked Time (almost the crew is infected and the emotions are out of control), S1E5 The Enemy Within (Kirk splits into two, one is kind but weak, the other is evil and sturdy), S1E24 This Side Of Paradise (Spock is parasitized by spores and can't suppress himself Emotion, have a leg with a certain earth woman), S1E25 The Devil In The Dark (a silicon-based creature deep underground, Spock is the captain of maintenance everywhere), S1E26 Errand Of Mercy (Klingon molested Captain, Spock came forward), S1E28 The City On The Edge Of Forever (this is the only episode of the TOS series that won the Hugo Award for Best Drama, S1E11~12The Menagerie is not included), S2E1 Amok Time, S2E4 Mirror, Mirror, S2E5 The Apple, S3E10 Plato's Stepchildren and so on. Among them, S2E1 Amok Time is the most serious. This episode grandly introduces the concept of Pon Farr in which Vulcan people lose their minds and fall into estrus. Once it is released, it becomes a classic, and countless YYs set off from here. At the end of the episode, Spock saw Kirk appear again alive, all logic, non-emotion, and control were left behind. Wannian Ice Cube face grinned extremely rarely for 2 seconds. The so-called true feelings...It’s no wonder that TOS has become the originator of Western Slash culture. There are hints in the plot, both open and secret, and you don’t want to be crooked.
There is also a large category that I classify as background information. The slightly dull plot contains a lot of background information settings for characters, such as: S1E13 The Conscience Of The King (the captain experienced a tragic massacre in his youth), S1E20 Court Martial (the respective awards of the captain's first officer), S2E13 Obsession (the captain's military experience before becoming the captain), etc. Of course, the above classification method is very rough, because many dramas are cross-border. For example: S1E5 The Enemy Within, the first time Spock's signature, the famous Spock Neck Pinch (FSNP-Famous Spock Neck Pinch), S1E29 Operation-Annihilate! It also includes the setting of Kirk's brother's family situation, S2E10 Journey In To Babel, there are detailed settings for the family relationship between Spock's parents and S2E1 Amok Time. In S2E1 Amok Time, there are a lot of initial settings about the customs and living environment of the Vulcan people, even the greetings and gestures of "Live Long and Prosper" It appears for the first time in this episode. I have to pay special attention to Leonard Nimoy, the actor of Spock. The above-mentioned gestures, greetings, and neck-cutting techniques that Trekkies are familiar with are all his first ideas for the role of Spock. Only a good actor with heart can achieve a classic role. .
The screenwriter in "Hot Questions About Time Travel" once used the protagonist's mouth to shout: The script is king! The screenwriter of "TBBT" also used the protagonist Leonard's lines to comment: "Captain Picard is better than Kirk (although I disagree with this selfishly), but the TOS series is definitely better than the TNG series." For science fiction In terms of the series, it is the script in the final analysis. Otherwise, with the simple props and scenes, shabby uniforms and makeup of the TOS series, they would have long been forgotten by people. The version we are seeing now should be the version that Paramount later re-ripped. The colors are bright and bright, and many beautiful digital composite scenes have been added. The original version can only be seen in some tidbits. The picture has really reached a terrible level. For details, please refer to the audio-visual pictures of Chinese movies in the 1960s.
Many alien races have been created in Star Trek, such as Vulcan, Romulan, and klingon are all regular species. I particularly like some of these non-humanoid species. For example, S1E25 The Devil In The Dark proposed a silicon-based life form Horta, although The audience could tell at a glance that an unknown actor put on a layer of pimple skin lying on the floor of the studio and turned around in disorder. There are also the Tholian family in S3E9 The Tholian Web. I have always wondered if they are the Vega star? The lizard-like Gorn that appeared in the S1E18 Arena is also very fun. Don’t look at the ugly appearance (this is also a human paranoid aesthetic) and slow and sluggish movements, but they are also advanced civilizations that have entered the warp era, and they are also organized. Discipline and concept of honor, and even made a cameo appearance in "TBBT".
The "Star Trek" series created by Gene Roddenberry contains many of his beautiful dreams for human society. For example, human beings have solved basic survival problems in the 23rd century, and exploring the unknown has become a more important life requirement; different nationalities, different races, Even creatures on different planets can coexist harmoniously; there is also the Prime Directive set by StarFleet: "no interference with the internal development of alien civilizations". Although this principle has been broken several times in the vast Star Trek series, it is commendable to dare to propose such a vision in the 1960s. We often say "do not do to others what you do not want to do". This is because of the inferiority of lenient self-discipline and strict discipline. It is difficult to achieve this. The principle of non-interference needs to go further: "Do not do to others what you want." . Especially when facing a weak civilization, the values of a strong civilization can easily shake the foundation of a weak civilization. Looking at the reality of the world today, it really makes people deeply doubt that even in the 23rd century, the world is still just a dream in the science fiction series.
Really want to say too much, only to finally apply a line of Spock, sincerely say:!! I have been and always shall be a trekkie Dif-tor heh Smusma
[from the publication of this review is the blink of an eye and several Years have passed, the Star Trek series of TV series have basically been completed, TOS is still my favorite]
