For the first, and sadly, last time, Spock was able to meld with Sarek through Picard. I really liked how Picard, who had mind-melded with Sarek, gave Spock the opportunity to make peace with his father. Spock spent his entire life rebelling against Sarek, their arguments were the only way in which they ever related. In fact, in this episode, Picard was mostly using logic, making him more like Spock's father Sarek. They were both dynamic, exceptional leaders, but they were also very different people with different command styles. I thought Spock was wrong when he compared Picard to James Kirk. While the Romulan culture clash was interesting, my two favorite storylines were Spock's interactions with Picard and later, with Data. It was very like Spock to decide in the end to stay and continue to aid the continuing Romulan struggle for enlightenment. Methinks they're not ready for peace quite yet. When the coup failed, the Romulans killed two thousand of their own soldiers, which was pretty darned cold. Spock's eighty years of friendship with Senator Pardek ended with betrayal, and the diabolical Sela tried to use Spock in an attempt to invade Vulcan. in the sixties.īut as soon as young proconsul Neral attempted the Vulcan salute, I knew it wasn't going to end well. The Romulan youth movement to connect with their Vulcan roots felt a bit like the U.S.
It was very in character for Spock to risk his life and reputation in order to take on a personal peace mission for an enemy of the Federation.
#Spock picard mind meld series#
I've been a Spock fan since I was a little girl he's considered to be the best character in the Original Series for a reason. In fact, it felt a lot like a Star Trek movie, and the story threads established in " Unification I" all paid off quite well. Spock: "I was involved in 'cowboy diplomacy', as you call it, long before you were born."Ī satisfying conclusion to a big two-parter.
