      “Damn it Spock, stop telling him not to do the thing! Damn it, Jim, stop doing the thing!”

        I preferred the previous doctor - Dr. Phil Boyce … here just have a drink of some hard liquor to solve your problem.

          To be fair, Bones felt that way a lot of times too. As did Scotty.

          There was a lot of drinking going on…

            It was surprising that they also didn’t start smoking too … especially since it was the 60s and smoking was still a normal part of the culture back then.

        The relationship between doctor McCoy and Spock is one of the best parts about TOS

          It is. It’s also pretty racist for a member of an organization that claims it left racism and other forms of prejudice behind.

            I think it creates a interesting plot dynamic. I’m sure it was thought out ahead of time.

            It is was better than the cheap cereal box style writing of modern trek
