How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
Quote #1
COMPUTER: How do you feel?
SPOCK: I do not understand the question.
Spock has just answered a rapid-fire series of questions on science, history, and countless other subjects. He nailed them all with little effort. This question, however, completely stumps him.
Quote #2
AMANDA: Spock, the retraining of your mind has been in the Vulcan way, so you may not understand feelings. But as my son, you have them. They will surface.
Spock's mom rightfully observes that he's been leaning on his Vulcan side since his recovery. While it's great that this has helped him get back on his feet, it comes at the expense of his human side, which is far more emotional. He can repress all he wants, but those feelings will come out sooner or later.
Quote #3
MCCOY: I mean him, back at his post, like nothing happened. I don't know if you've got the whole picture, but he isn't exactly working on all thrusters.
Is McCoy wrong here? Although Spock is recovering well, he currently has the emotional maturity of a 12-year-old. Is it really wise to trust someone's judgment in that situation? We can't blame the good doctor for being his usual skeptical self here.
