That biology ? Yes, THAT biology, Kronk...

Soooooo.....we talking about Klingons then?

dude this is one of my favorite star trek moments. I laugh everytime. This episode is Shatner overacting

"Oh, right. The biology. The biology for Vulcans, the biology chosen especially to biologize Vulcans, Vulcans' biology... That biology?"

@@credendovides20 ...😑YES, that biology!

Haksjdkebdkdb

Not to mention, for Vulcans if they don't mate, their hormones build up to a toxic level that literally kills the within days. Very serious stuff to Vulcans, I guess!

@SamIAm We only know what Spock himself said (from the Amok Time script): SPOCK: Most interesting. It must have been the combat. When I thought I had killed the captain, I found I had lost all interest in T'Pring. The madness was gone.

Honestly that's how i found this video

A 'fuck or die' situation. Hm.

Ha ha fan go bbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrr

Lol I was looking for this comment

I stopped the video thinking it was my server's room file server. Those fans sound like a 747 taking off at times.

Pon far into.6 words

ok

And made it far less interesting and less personal to Spock. The Pon Far is a deeply personal thing to vulcans. They do everything they can to purge themselves of emotion and the Pon Far acts against this making it a bit of an attack on who they try to be as a species. It's an insult to their person that they cannot fight against. It's insulting to them.

@@butterflyjill6887 Well said, ButterflyJill. As time has gone by, I have come to realize how brilliant the entire episode is, and how it makes the Vulcans a thousand times more interesting. LLAP.

well part of the point is he's embarrassed to even talk about it

I'd Pon Farr your brains out.

"But salmon are."

My first crush in high school felt like Spock's Pon Farr.

Kirk was asking if it was about sex without using the word sex

I know.... I was like. Jeez Jim....

OrangetangyOrka, every time I see this part, I find myself thinking: "No, genius, he means the biology of goldfish!"

Captain state the obvious.

+Ashton Smith I would love to see the out takes on the original Star Trek series.

Ashton Smith Very True, as back at that time, while filming the series, they DID allow for laughter and a little goofin off. Bill Shatner was good for that, however, it was sad that in later years, all the other sctors and actresses were very negetive towards Bill, and wrote and said some really nasty things abouf him in the later years after the show went off the air. This is why Bill Shatner doesn't want much to do with any of them anymore as it hurt his feelings. He won't show it outward, however inward, if shows. I say, Bill Shatner was an excellent pick as the Captain and don't think that with anybody else, it wouldn't be the dynamic inpact it still has to this very day, from past, present and future. Bill Shatner is an excellent actor. Much better than that patrick stewart clown in that next generation garbage, which is childish, stupid and should have been cancelled from the very first episode.

Dan Basta Actually from what I've seen of his work, which admittedly is only Star Trek and Dune, Patrick Stewart is a very good actor. This isn't to belittle Shatner. I do agree Shatner does seem a bit better, but I've seen more variety of Shatner's work than I have Stewart's. I was very impressed by Shatner's performance in The Intruder (also released as "I Hate Your Guts", "Shame", and "The Stranger"). I couldn't stand his character, but he played it superbly and did the job he was supposed to do; i.e. make the audience hate the very ground the character walked on. He should have gotten an Academy Award for that performance.

Kirk to Spock: "Is she hot?

Ashton Smith I agree

You're assuming it didn't require a few takes. :)

They prolly laughed at all da $$ was ultimately generated bcuz of this series.....

Shatner is underrated as an actor.

We also don't know how many times they rehearsed it ... until they COULD stop laughing.

No. Stop it. Go sit in the corner and think about what you have done

That's a really good point..

Yeah. It's hard to be the mongrel

Imagine what it must've been like for his human mother. 😬

Sounds like your parents were a hoot!😄😄😄 God bless 'em!😊😊😊

@@elizabethjordan5755 Yeah, they were wonderful. Dad was ex army so war films were a big deal but he would point out all of the daft things in them. He had a field day with Where Eagles Dare and spent 2 hours explaining why you couldn't really do the stuff that goes on in that film. Happy times.

@@thatguyfromcetialphaV Bet watching TV with your folks must've been fun growing up. Almost like having Siskel and Ebert (film critics) under one roof - except more hilarious!😄

@@elizabethjordan5755 It sure was eye opening. Mum watched a lot of TV, dad hated it apart from Star Trek, but he loved sport and films. Mostly we were outside playing rugby or working on cars.

@@thatguyfromcetialphaV Wow. I remember my dad enjoyed watching Star Trek growing up. Hence my love for it. Looking back, I have a sneaking suspicion he tuned in to check out the women in their mini skirts!🤭🤭☺ Cheers to having good childhood memories!

And you know what he would have done next.

@@mikevanroy9356 break my arm

@@edwardhyde1886 or do the Vulcan Death Pinch, lololol 😂🤣😂

Don't hug him for your own safety

I was thinking the exact same thing, I love Spock lol

Nimoy considered it a favorite episode from the entire series.

Tbh, I think they both did well in this scene. I was thinking about how different the acting was then versus now.

He was amazing

I know it's a serious matter, but I can't help but to laugh everytime I see Spock's annoyed face when he has to say "VULCAN BIOLOGY" xD

​@@cryalot378Considering how stressed out he was, I'd be pretty annoyed too if my captain wasn't getting the hint (since the censors wouldn't allow him to get right to the point 😊).

"Entry made by Science Officer Spock" 😏

@@marcremillard4052 Boldy going where no man has been before, at least not while Kirk was sober......

And the good ship Spirk was launched, in the time before internet fan fiction databases.

1960s sensibilities.

No such thing as a no fault divorce when this aired, either. Someone had to be at fault and that had to be explained to a judge with testimony and/or evidence. Somebody had to be a cheater, an abuser, neglectful... it couldn't be that you just didn't get along that well.

Back in the 60s, everything was censored. Unlike today where everything is acceptable, whether it should be or not. Television and movies had to be careful what and how things were said and done. Star Trek was known for breaking some of those taboos, by how the scripts were written. Maybe, this world would be a little better if people were more careful what they say and do.

I think everyone's embarrassed when they talk about sex with their boss or parents.

@@Zoras88 Some people are open about that sort of subject

@jeff nomad puberty is not exactly logical itself or expected

Why be embarrassed? It's Kirk after all.

Who wouldn't be embarrassed.

I'm sure this episode inspired a lot of fanfic. Spock and Kirk alone on some planet and the ponn farr kicks in and Kirk is the only one who can save Mr Spock. There are some ways you can view this episode as being sort of metaphor for homosexuality and the struggle with the shame.

@@AnArchyRulzz it has, trust me.

@@AnArchyRulzz Before I saw the original series I was aware that a lot of fans were crazy about the supposed Kirk/Spock gay theory (or whatever it was). But when I watched the series I just didn't get that sense from those two. I could tell that the two very much cared for one another, but not in a romantic way. It felt like it was the kind of relationship that began with friendship, and then it grew so that they were as close as brothers. They could trust each other and confide in one another, which was probably why Spock felt like Kirk was the only one he could truly trust with something so personal in this scene.

@@lucindamobley5492 my thoughts exactly! Platonic love is a thing which people forget about

I love it!!!

Oh yeah, it's all coming together.

Daniel S 😂😂😂

It's been almost that long for me.

Daniel S 😂😂😂😂😂

Well shit

Vulcans do not have them ,totally different arrangement

Yes, He will be missed always. 💚🖖🏻

Because basically his dick was already stiff

Ikr?

Probably why Spock knew to use that word

Spock knows who he’s talking to lol

Kirk really enjoyed his "biology class" in Starfleet Academy 🤣

I watched this as an adult so I can say : Kirk HOW did your brain got straight (*cough*) there lmao

There's hope after all. Spock mentions to Kirk how salmon spawn , Salmon exist in the 23rd century.

Me too

So am I. Leonard would have been a gentleman❤

So awkward

They should have provided him with some kind of synthetic humanoid for sexual purposes on that ship. So Spock can fuck right away during Pon Farr

Or else a back-handed insult. "He's not captain material."

YASS

hailey lewis me too ❤❤❤❤❤❤

hailey lewis xD

You, me and the majority of Star Trek ' s Fandom XD

same here

The Goodfellas?

Everyone needs a hobby.

Weapons training and use is fabulous, high-intensity exercise.

@@literallyanangrymoose7717 Furthermore, doing it well requires great self-control. Also, as scion of the House of Sarek The Liberator, those weapons are, each of them, cultural relics about the level of Faberge eggs.

And probably could use with precise skill every one of them...

@@caronstout354 I bet he could give you a buzz cut and a baby-smooth shave from ten feet.

Don't be too sure. Some folks get downright homicidal.

Sexual frustration is common amongst us humans (if not most of the animal kingdom). Some have better control than others and some are to embarrassed to express one's needs because it's a taboo depending on your upbringing and beliefs. Given Spock's rare uneasiness, I can understand why he had a hard time explaining Pon Farr to Kirk.

not just the males. the ladies get it too.

@@Zoras88 As proven by Enterprise's T'Pol.

Lol.

lol

*Pft* I ship Spock and Christine Chapel. She wanted him so bad, it hurt. Hell, even 20-some years later, she was still single. Kirk's woman? Ran. AND took the kid. Spock's Rizz is superior.

It was a secret. Otherwise bones would have known about it. Starfleet has no record of it in there medical files

He could easily say "If I don't get laid. I will die."

Whoa... had to search William Shatner, see if there was any bad news I didn't know. My mistake, though.

@@john94949 Fortunately Mr Shatner is still with us 💓 His youthfulness is inspiring to me! I just turned 62 and would LOVE to have 30 more years of active life like Shatner has had so far.

Vulcans keep secrets. Why would Star Fleet have to know this?

Maybe Starfleet didn't, but surely Vulcan did and I bet there were rules in place about what year any Vulcan could take a ship.

And female.

+Shmebulock I know, it is interesting to compare Vulcans to common salmon.

Lol I thought it was mine, I had to pause the video.

They're essentially in heat.

Not sure if it was done on purpose, but this comment has " 69 " likes. 😏🤣

Every human male understands that. Especially James T Kirk.

I'm pretty new to star trek but a Trekkie friend told me they have extremely strong emotion but have learned to keep them in check and think logically because if they let their emotions rule them it'd be insanity.

@@lizanna6390 Guess that is true but they do seem to let them out a lot

Vulcan ambassadors could do that really well. They know how to be more flexible

Same!

Christine Chapel

How many human women would it take to break a Vulcan's blood fever? I wonder.

Spock could use some Orion girls too😋

She literally tried liked three times in just this episode Lmao.

It was a the B plot in the enterprise episode 'Bounty', with T'pol going into it early due to the effects of an alien organism. It's quite worth watching that episode, even if you dislike the rest of the show.

good catch

Well, but in that scene, the infamous fashion design, the Kirk Split™ was born!

Continuity Error

With green blood

Not enough green blood left to maintain logic.

I'm just mindlessly scrolling through the comments, and for whatever reason this comment had me sounding like I was choking for sec, cackling. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You creep

She opened her legs wide and showed Sarek her intimate bush

Well, he says" no outworlder may know....except those.very few who have been involved." I would guess that means his mom, and a scant handful of other non vulcans who married vulcans.

@@anon777... Spock has a Vulcan make body ,Vulcan genes dominate human genes

@@djackson4657 this was his first pon Farr, and he was already 37 here. This is way too late so I really wouldn’t blame him for thinking (and secretly hoping) that he would be spared this, at this point in time. He is a hybrid and many things within himself just work differently.

Maybe Zefram Cochrane did that just to have fun with Vulcan ladies
