Dr. McCoy: There's just one thing, Mr. Spock. You can't tell me that when you first saw Jim alive that you weren't on the verge of giving us an emotional scene that would have brought the house down.
Spock: Merely my quite logical relief that Starfleet had not lost a highly proficient captain.
Captain James T. Kirk: Yes, Mr. Spock, I understand.
Spock: Thank you captain.
Dr. McCoy: Of course, Mr. Spock, your reaction was quite logical.
Spock: Thank you, doctor.

Birth of one of the most famous musical TV themes ever!!!!, 22 March 2006
Author: woljm45 from United States

They goofed about in "The Cable Guy" when Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick fought each other at the Medieval Times restaurant. Wow!!! What a way to kick off the second season. Spock is in heat because he is in the midst of the Vulcan mating period and must return to his planet. Once there, Kirk and Spock are forced to battle to the death for the hand of Spock's chosen mate. The music that goes along with the fighting will be used in other episodes as well be recognized throughout TV history. Nimoy did a great job of playing a sexually frustrated Spock that allowed his human side to really show up. Also look for Dame Judith Anderson who makes an appearance and will show up later in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
