The episode " The Empath", Spock shows even more compassion for McCoy. He certainly showed himself to be half human. The 3 characters definitely had a strong bond in spite of some bickering at times between Spock & Bones.
despite their "frenimy" type relationship, the dynamic between Spock and McCoy was always one of respect and a begrudging friendship. When push came to shove, they always had each other's back.
See "The Empath", and you will again see Mr.Spock's gentle concern for the good Doctor. McCoy is near death, saying, "Hey, Spock you've got a good bedside manner.", while Spock holds McCoy's head, as Dr. McCoy coughs.
@@sarahfullerton6894 and in the episode, "All Our Yesterdays", Spock risks his life to save McCoy when they are trapped in a prehistoric ice age. The "logical" thing to do would have been to save himself, but Spock wouldn't leave him behind.
@@harryc1971 Yes--as Spock told T'Pau (who said that outworlders were not permitted to witness or participate in the Pon Farr ceremony), "They are not outworlders; they are my friends." Spock later showed even more concern--and briefly, joy--in that episode.
Star trek, especially Spock, made me a maniac of body language. The way he straightens when Jim tells him about Bones' "weaken condition" always gets me
I think Spock putting his hand on McCoy's shoulder & the expression on his face is his way of saying he's here for him, that he doesn't have to go through it alone, that he cares & it kinda takes McCoy by surprise because of their normally duelling personalities. It's a lovely moment.
I don't think McCoy is really troubled about Jim telling Spock he was sick. I think the biggest problem is having now his 2 friends worrying about him, since that's his function. Remember the beginning of this episode, when Bones yells at Chapel for calling Kirk? Our doctor is the kind of man who helps anyone anytime, but prefers to suffer alone :(
Vulcans by themselves are not completely heartless. He could be 100% Vulcan and he would have feelings. He his father worry about his son did his human side come out.
@@hamhockbeans very true, look at T'pol on Enterprise. Before she had the space STD from her mind meld and drug abuse (thats not a joke, its literally what it was), T'pol often had emotional moments. Either looking like she was about to cry while pouting, the occassional smirk or half smile, and i think i remember one episode where she almost showed signs of anger to which Archer said "If i didnt know any better, id think that was a human reaction." To which T'pol replied with a 180 turn and marched out.
It's especially good knowing that Vulcans can transfer strength through physical contact :) Spock knows McCoy is feeling weak and so he's trying to help him!
My Star Trek Favorite Character always is Dr. Leonard McCoy. Best Guy, Best Actor. DeForest Kelley, we will always love you, DAMN IT. Bloody good actor.
1:28 - errrrrrrrrrrrrr why's he touching me? something's wrong 1:31 - 1:33 - Jimmmmmm what've you done?!?!?! 1:34 - 1:39 - error 404 1:40 - 1:44 - ok calm down pretend that nothing has happened and that spock is acting normally
This is what made Star Trek so good the dialogue and the way the characters played off each other. And in 1966 it was all new and full of adventure. And the effects were just fine for that time.
In many past episodes, we all see the good Doctor there throw in a few digs at Spock, and Spock, on the other hand uses his cool logicial wisdom and intellect to reason and at times put the good Doctor in his place, and both go at it in a somewhat hysterical way. However, both deeply admire and respect each other for their scientific knowledge and skills they both possess, and do have a deep concern for each other's safty and well being. Real true friends, in a very different way.
Spock almost looked like he wanted to cry and later on after his rebirth regardless of what he says you can tell he is embracing his human side since his talk with his mother in the beginning of Star Trek 4. Since then he has showed nothing but emotion. Especially in The Undiscovered Country. What he felt for the Klingons and how he involved Kirk without consulting him was pure emotion.
Having a Vulcan touch is a special thing . we are touch telepaths you get so much from that. Also Vulcan culture is quiet reserved in the physical touch it Is something really only reserved for family and mates but even only in private time. To espress those aspects in public is quite rare. Also a sign of the Conflicted nature of Spocks balancing between his human heritage and Vulcan discipline.
Actually, it seemed that Spock had found a balance between the different aspects of his personality. In the third season, his character is a lot more subtle and Zen-like. He has accepted his human side while integrating it with his Vulcan discipline, as per the philosophy of IDIC.
Bones : " I'm right here, & I can hear you talking about my condition. This is absolutely the LAST TIME I confide in either of you ! ". Actually, in the novelization for ST The Motion Picture, I think Dr. McCoy had been been researching the Fabrini medical database between the series & the movie ( s ).
Spock has a similar moment in "The Empath" when McCoy is dying. This is one of the reasons a 1960s sci Fi show with limited effects remains so relevant and powerful in 2024.
Proves that even though they had their differences, Dr. McCoy and Commander Spock, have an underlying huge amount of respect for one another and consider one another close friends!
There is also a good moment in Amok Time when they are in the turbolift going to the Bridge. Spock asks Kirk to come down with him who agrees. He then turns and asks McCoy who, without any sarcasm or jokes simply replies "I shall be honoured, Sir"
Gah! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this episode! It's so sad, and even the title is like... awww!!! "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky" It has such deep meaning... I'm done rambling now :)
Trivial fact here. The old man who approched them and said, For The World Is Hollow, And I Have Touched The Sky, then fell over and died, was actor Jon Lorimer who was in the pilot episode, The Cage, two part episodes, The Menagerie, and was Tamour in Return Of The Achons.
@@danbasta3677Thank you! I was sure that I recognized him, and couldn’t place him. He’s the, “They’re humans, real humans…” from _The Menagerie pt 1_ ?
Another similar moment is in Amok Time, in the turbo lift. They always butt heads, then Spock lays this out, and McCoy responds with equal greatness. "I also ask McCoy, accompany me" "It would be an honor Sir"
When Kirk said of all the souls I have encountered in all my travels his was the most human we see it here and in Requim for Methsoluah. I know I didn't spell it right.
*Spock holding McCoy's arm* *In McCoy's head* : What on Earth is this suppose to mean? You've got to be kidding me! I didn't ask to be taken pity on! Jim can you tell this pointy-eared bastard to withdraw his hand?! Kirk: Spock knows... McCoy:.... *In McCoy's head* : Well this is just great.
This is the great scene that shows how much Spock loves McCoy. For those who do not know, all Vulcans have emotions. Just repressed. And Spock is half-human so his emotions are closer to the surface. It also reveals how Spock is the mother of the series.
@zoomwhee No, he definatly said Xenu! Gene Roddenberry was clearly taking a dig at L Ron Hubbard, as it was Hubbard that wrote that if anyone read the secret Scientology OT3 documents before being "trained properly" they would die of neumonia!
2 things I love about this scene, ¹ Spock shows compassion, despite his Vulcan beliefs, because he genuinely cares for McCoy. And ² Kirk knows he doesn't have to explain the ailment to Spock, because of course, super intelligent Spock knows the lethality of the condition.
McCoy / Spock and Kirk relationship is what's know today as 'busting your balls' - Spock gave a few zingers back himself from time to time if i recall.
McCoy was 134 I believe. Maybe 137. I don't remember exactly. Based on info from other Trek materials, humans typically lived to 120 in Kirk's time, assuming they weren't wearing a red shirt. Maybe even longer 80 or so years later in the TNG era.
they are true friends, almost brothers. It pisses me off when I read that most fans see them as gay, or a polyamorous threesome. sometimes I want to read some fanfic, but I only find Spirk. Pitiable.

God, I miss when Star Trek was good. It stopped being really consistently good at least in my opinion around the time of Deep Space 9. After that era the franchise just kinda spiraled into this state of inconsistently terrible & barely decent quality. That's just my opinion tho & I won't think differently of anyone for disagreeing so long as it's not in an ill mannered sorta way or the trash talk is decent, but if anyone comes at me with trash talk for the love of all that is decent please don't bore me to death with uninspired insults. Put some backbone & creativity into it. Lol Also please avoid crossing certain lines. Humerous quips about how my mother's a Klingon are 1 thing but I don't think I need to explain what lines are unacceptable to cross if anyone responds to my comment. Pretty sure we're all intelligent enough to grasp the implications.
Seriously, I stopped watching Deep Space Nine. In fact, I liked Sisko's Space Station 9 better than Picard's Enterprise. From then on only in the 2009 reboot, but while I loved the Pine/Urban/Quinto trio, the way it was done left something to be desired, and the way they promoted the character of Uhura, as practically ( heresy ) replacing Bones ( heresy , heresy) did not help at all.

It's one of the reasons why the "flashback" scene with his father in ST:5 is so powerful. One of the few decent scenes in that movie.
the all have things to teach and learn from eachother
Reminds me of The Doctor in Doctor Who (12th incarnation) who doesn't want anyone to know he's still blind.
Typical doctor.
Very insightful. If you took my course you would get an 'A'.
Spock's half human side does show from time to time. This is one of those times.
Vulcans by themselves are not completely heartless. He could be 100% Vulcan and he would have feelings. He his father worry about his son did his human side come out.

Spock looks as though he never cares about McCoy, but this really shows that he does. They are like bffs.
Look at Amok time, he asks McCoy to come as well - shows how much he cares for his friendship
Great insight!

They can?
McCoy: Now I know I'm doomed. Spock is being nice to me.

Spock does have a heart and deep love for his friends.
What is it that bothers Bones most actually: the fact Spock knew or the fact Jim told him? :p Or is it the fact Spock seems able to care? About him...
He doesn't want to be a burden, that's the look and his perspective
"Spock knows." McCoys thoughts: Still no reason why the hell he's holding my arm far too long and won't let go!
He's not ready to let him go. That's the subtle, and endearing beauty of it.
@@ArgosySpecOps Nice observation
The most charming Kirk Smile at 1:06
Isn't it lovely
I feel like Kirk makes adorable smiles like this only between Spock and McCoy, for when he smiles at a woman he looks like a creep

Love the dynamic of those 3
The cheesy dialogue, the overacting, cringy effects, all paid off in scenes like this. Absolute Gold.
Favorite scene from 'For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky,' the OT3 is strong!
3rd for me.
1. "A day, a month.......a year" scene
2. "Before you are our friends, know what it means to be our enemy." Scene
Best scene in all of startrek ever remember it from when I was a child forty years ago
It's my fav series ever! Watch it every night before bed. Thanks!😊
Spock forever!!!!!!!
heehee :D. i love this OT3. you dont have to try and fill in gaps or edit scenes. its just THERE.
No one asked, Spock just offered comfort!! And it could have been with words, but he did it with touch, which is even deeper. I loved!!!
When Kirk said of all the souls I have encountered in all my travels his was the most human we see it here and in Requim for Methsoluah. I know I didn't spell it right.
Most adorableness evar!!
I’m almost done with season 3, and I have to say that this is probably my favorite scene from the entire series.
Fascinating.
While I love it, it's in the middle of great episodes, not in the top 10 for me
*Spock holding McCoy's arm*
*In McCoy's head* : What on Earth is this suppose to mean? You've got to be kidding me! I didn't ask to be taken pity on! Jim can you tell this pointy-eared bastard to withdraw his hand?!

This is the great scene that shows how much Spock loves McCoy.
For those who do not know, all Vulcans have emotions. Just repressed. And Spock is half-human so his emotions are closer to the surface.

It just occurred to me right now that the Wiggles stole their outfits from the Star Trek TOS uniforms.
Lucky McCoy
Even if it was subtle. That was human emotion.
Dammit Jim I'm a Doctor not a magician 😁😁😁😁😁😁
There's a ten-minute limit.
Pretty sure he said xenopolycythemia (as in polycythemia vera)
What does that mean?
It means the body makes too much red blood cells. Xeno ,foreign in greek, simply means it's not the form we know on earth.
spock respects bones as an intelligent man hes agreat doctor
Vulcans are more emotional than humans. they just suppress them.
Spock do you love
Which episode was this?
For the world is hollow, and I have touched the sky.
The sexual tension became a little awkward between the two of them.
Is this the episode where Kirk gets court marshalled for a HIPAA violation.?
There was no such thing as HIPAA in 1966.
What’s the name of this episode?
For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky
This had to be delibrate... Did he just say ,"Xenupolicyphobia"?
Xenopolycytemia
Love Star Trek I write Star Trek stories about Spock. Love stories
I hope not Spirk...I hate Spirk...
@xMikanNamix more like he was probably in on the joke. early OTs must have shit a brick when they heard the name dropped.
Tell him to lie down and get some rest for once
Yet how old is he in the next generation

Kirk violates HIPPA. But with so many breaches of the Prime Directive, he's confident that nothing will come of it.
HIPAA only applies to health care workers. Kirk can say whatever he pleases.
Can I ask ? What episode this is ?
If you still can't find it after that time... the name is: For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky
