re: #170 First As Tragedy, Then As Farce

Spock (outwardly, at least), rejected his humanity and considered it something akin to a mild birth defect, like color blindness. Data wanted nothing more than to be a Real Boy Human.

I think that despite the apparent kinship and closeness between Spock and Kirk, Dr. McCoy was the only crew member who really understood Spock. He was the only one who knew how to really make him unable to conceal annoyance and exasperation.

Or something.

Data was the Velveteen Bunny of the show :)

Spock was on a Quest, being in Star Fleet was just part of that quest.

McCoy was great, the fact that he embraced his “humanness” did, indeed, seem most illogical to Spock.
