When Spock grabs Kirk and goes, 'Jim!', with that genuine, joyful smile on his face...it gets me every time.<br /><br />This episode is also notorious for a famous sort-of blooper, while they're on Vulcan. During one scene, you see Spock, in the midst of the Plak-Tow, then the camera cuts to Kirk talking to T'Pau and you see Leonard Nimoy dressed as Spock casually leaning against the wall near the back of the set. Then the camera cuts back to Spock in Plak-Tow again.Remembering Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760441035721518260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-83244253888064645422014-03-12T22:10:14.149-04:002014-03-12T22:10:14.149-04:00Kal-if-ee! :-)
