Vulcan (Star Trek) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia When the two personalities become intertwined, the katra cannot be removed, as happened to T'Prell, who died and gave her katra to her Romulan friend Selke, who was then captured and used as a spy for the Tal Shiar before she could return T'Prell's katra to Vulcan. Katras have been referenced several other times in Star Trek lore, and it is indicated that even by the 24th Century not all Vulcans believe in them. Vulcans are a humanoid species in the fictional Star Trek universe who reside on the planet Vulcan and are noted for their attempt to live by reason and logic. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vulcans

Leonard McCoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Star Trek: The Original Series, he was one of the three main characters and the humanistic counterpart to the logical Spock; capable of great compassion, yet also cranky, superstitious, and irrational, shunning advanced technology (especially the transporter beam, which he regarded with distrust) and occasionally even bigoted with regard to Spock's part-Vulcan ancestry. Star Trek fans have speculated that McCoy was promoted to Captain sometime after 2295 and further speculation indicates that McCoy may have become the head of Starfleet Medical School, though to date nothing canonical has been confirmed about this part of his life. In the non-canonical "expanded universe" of Star Trek, McCoy's death was marked by a comic book story published by DC Comics soon after Kelley's death, in which Spock and Montgomery Scott - two TOS characters known to still be alive and active in the 24th Century - visit McCoy on his death bed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Leonard_McCoy

Star Trek LCARS Episode Database - Star Trek: Enterprise Episode Guide - Season 4 An early Star Trek novel, Timetrap had a very interesting take on the situation, suggesting that the Klingon species was made up of both types of "Klingons" and that, over time, the "human looking" variety was virtually shunned out of existence. Back in 1979, during the opening sequence of Star Trek: The Motion Picture when the 'new' Klingons were revealed, fans the world over began their attempt to explain this transformation from the largely human-looking Klingons during the original run of Star Trek, to these vastly different, more alien-looking Klingons. Ask any fan of the original Star Trek what their top 5 episodes of that series are and, invariably, Mirror, Mirror will be among those chosen. www.cygnus-x1.net /links/lcars/epsd-ENT4.html

crj0147a.txt Star Trek functions as myth when it encourages the belief, for example, that human beings are a noble species that will somehow survive and learn to solve its problems. Unlike the _Star Wars_ trilogy, in which the continued existence of Obi-won Kenobi after his death is explained by the life-power of the Force, Star Trek never offers a broader world-view context for the existence of the soul. Specifically, Star Trek draws on the belief, found in both classical Greek thought and in Eastern philosophy, that human beings are basically all right but that within them disparate elements fight for control of the whole. www.iclnet.org /pub/resources/text/cri/cri-jrnl/crj0147a.txt

Filmtracks: Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (James Horner) The theme for Spock and the Vulcans occupies a significant role in the score; their mysticism is accentuated by a synthetic aiding of the orchestra in order to create a religious ambience for the Katra ritual that occurs at the end of the film. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock: (James Horner) Shock and dismay had overwhelmed the nucleus of Star Trek fans in 1982; Spock was dead, and a beloved fixture of the television show and first two films was gone. Before even Star Trek II could be finished, the potential uproar of such an outcome was realized by the series' producers, and the bulk of the third film was devoted to bringing the character back to life. www.filmtracks.com /titles/star_trek3.html

THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK ($30) is another of the films in the STAR TREK series that suffers from the curse that afflicts the odd numbered films in the series. STAR TREK III picks up shortly after the events of STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN, with Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) and his crew having to deal with the fact that Captain Spock (Leonard Nimoy) gave his life to save them all. STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK isn’t the best of the STAR TREK films that featured the original cast (numbers 6 and 2 get my vote), however it is an enjoyable adventure that fans will want to own on DVD because of Paramount Home Entertainment’s first rate presentation. www.thecinemalaser.com /dvd_reviews/star-trek-3-dvd.htm

Star Trek - A Biblical Review Although Star Trek tries to put altruism as the governing principle (in the form of Vulcan principle: the good of many exceeds the good of one) yet the definition of good is relative. In the Star Trek series, the idea of God is viewed as developed out of primitive intelligence which view cosmic phenomena as representing God, where in fact it is simply a result of alien higher technology and power. Star Trek is a deification of man and therefore a sin against God. www.gbip.org /Messages/Star_Trek.htm

DVDFILE.COM: Star Trek III The Search for Spock review It was probably the most genuine and touching moment ever seen in a Star Trek film before or since: not only had the members of the crew lost their beloved Vulcan science officer and friend, fans had lost a familiar icon. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock was the first Star Trek film I ever saw in a theater; in fact it was the first Star Trek anything I'd ever seen. This is what Trek movies are supposed to be all about, and Star Trek III delivers on this count much better than it is often given credit for. www.dvdfile.com /software/review/dvd-video_5/startrek_iii_ce.html

Sheryl's Star Trek Site - Memorial to DeForest Kelley - Dr. Leonard H. McCoy Spock's deposit of his katra in 2385 had nearly driven him crazy and landed him in Starfleet detention until the refusion took place, whereupon he delighted in the Vulcan's reeducation process. From his opening grouchfest as a bearded "draftee" with old friend Kirk amid the crew reunion of Star Trek The Motion Picture, to the housing of Spock's katra and a bare bones admission of friendship in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, McCoy has been a character that grew throughout.

Amazon.com: DVD: Star Trek III - The Search for Spock (Special Edition) (1984) The death of Spock at the end of "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan," was a high point in the history of the "Star Trek" universe. The "Star Trek" franchise was served by this 1984 film, since it spawned three more outings for the original cast and inspired a quartet of television spinoffs, but I am not sure if the characters benefited as well. Star Trek III The Search for Spock is a wonderful, middle movie to the more or less trilogy of II, III and IV. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006G8HX

TrekWeb.com - Brent Spiner Defends NEMESIS, Reveals the STAR TREK XI That Could Have Been The STAR TREK helmsman will host a fundraiser and 40th anniversary party for the East West Players on August 20th. I'm sure Star Trek XI would be a smash hit if we were taken to vulcan with B4. About STAR TREK NEMESIS, the TNG movie which he co-wrote with screenwriter John Logan and turned out to be a major box office disaster, Spiner told the magazine "I think that NEMESIS was a way better movie than it was given credit for. trekweb.com /articles/2005/01/24/41f57f0057e56.shtml

Ex Astris Scientia - Star Trek Movies When the Enterprise returns to Spacedock, it is found that McCoy is holding of Spock's katra. It is the first and only Trek movie influenced by "2001: A Space Odyssey" and has time for long VFX scenes and excellent pointed dialogues, albeit not necessarily advancing the plot. One thing that will always distinguish Star Trek from such action mass products is that here is an overall serious tone, stories about characters and an attempt to make a point beyond the mere entertainment. www.ex-astris-scientia.org /movies.htm

Star Trek Timeline Six months after the events of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, the former-Enterprise crew heads home to Earth onboard their captured Bird of Prey after spending three months on Vulcan in order to face the consequences of their actions (see 2283). The events of the TNG film Star Trek: First Contact do a bit of rewriting, and state that Cochrane was indeed from Earth originally. Given the recent battle damage to the Enterprise and it's age, Starfleet decides that the Enterprise is to be decommissioned. www.geocities.com /phineasbg/timeline.html

DVD Verdict Review - Star Trek III: The Search For Spock The funeral scene at the end of Trek 2 and the scene where he reacts to the death of his son in Trek 3 is probably the best acting he has ever done. Our review of Star Trek III: The Search For Spock: Collector's Edition, published November 12th, 2002, is also available. Not as exciting or poignant as Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan nor as funny or socially conscious as Ster Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Search for Spock is not without its charms. www.dvdverdict.com /reviews/startrek3.shtml

The Star Trek LogBook - HTML edition 4.0 by Earl Green Kirk checks ship's logs and sees that Spock did, in fact, pass his katra on - to McCoy. The events in "Trek VI" were mentioned briefly in the "Next Generation" episodes "Unification," in which it is mentioned that Spock met a Romulan Senator Pardek at the Khitomer Conference. However, in "Trek VI," many "Next Generation" connections were present: a Klingon defense attorney (Michael Dorn) is briefly identified as Colonel Worf; Khitomer is the site of the 24th century Romulan attack on a Klingon colony, killing Lt. Worf's parents in "Next Generation" lore. www.thelogbook.com /log/toslog4.html

The DVD Journal Reviews : Star Trek III: The Search for Spock: Special Collector's Edition The Star Trek Universe is divided into four clickable items devoted to some of the movie's technical creations: "Space Docks and Birds of Prey" (27:28) focuses the camera on the artisans and designers at ILM who crafted the models and special effects. After the fresh exuberance and swashbucklery of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, the third adventure was something of a downer. Star Trek has a long history of sparking this sort of stoned-in-the-dorm-room bull session that can go on late into the night. www.dvdjournal.com /reviews/s/startrek03spock.shtml

Ex Astris Scientia - Star Trek Enterprise (ENT) Season 4 This loss of intellectual substance is a shortcoming of the episode, along with the overdose of violence, although the latter contributes to the plot in that it divides Soong and his "children". I think it is the first time on Star Trek that a present-day problem of Earth is tackled without disguising it or making it an issue of an alien planet-of-the-week. The episode was littered with references to Trek history, plus several new terms like "Augments" or "Borderland", and it might have been wiser to limit the scope to just Earth's problem with the remnants of the Eugenics Wars. www.ex-astris-scientia.org /episodes/ent4.htm

Guide To STAR TREK: Excelsior - Hikaru Sulu Later that year, Kirk rounded up most of the original Enterprise senior staff to steal the ship out of mothballs and go on a mission to restore Spock's katra to his body which was alive and well on the Genesis planet. ("STAR TREK IV: The Voyage Home") In gratitude for his saving of the Earth, Starfleet gave Kirk command of a second Consitution-class Starship Enterprise (NCC-1701-A). Takei's book is an excellent read and is especially noteworthy for its socially-important and long-overdue treatment of life in the unconstitutional internment camps where Japanese persons living in the U.S. were interred during World War II. www1.ridgecrest.ca.us /~curtdan/Excelsior/SuluPages.cgi?FILE=Sulu

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock - James Horner The final few cues deal with the Katra Ritual where Spock's soul is transferred back to him from Dr McCoy. The film itself suffered from the odd numbered bad Trek film syndrome with lots of fairly iffy moments, including a particularly bad indoors for outdoors planet set complete with fibreglass trees. Outside of the Klingon tracks, the best action is to be found in the lengthy Stealing the Enterprise, opening with a sprightly run straight out of Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet, but quickly turning into a suspense builder before the final few minutes break out the main themes and plenty of athletic brass writing. www.soundtrack-express.com /osts/st3tsfs.htm

Star Trek: Enterprise Episode Guide - SECTION31.COM T'Pol's skepticism at the beliefs of the Syrannites and the concept of the katra was well portrayed, and in character, yet she also showed her deep faith in Archer when she chose to risk her life to remain with him, even for a cause she didn't believe in. His interactions with the katra of Surak were fascinating to see, as were those with the skeptic T'Pol and their Syrannite captors. It's an interesting move for her character, as she grows closer and closer to Earth and the humans she works with; on the other hand, her ever-skeptic disbelief is very Vulcan. www.section31.com /epmovies/ent/reviews/4x8.html

STARTREK.COM : Synopsis Sarek tells Kirk that he must retrieve the coffin from the Genesis planet and, since Spock performed a last-minute Vulcan mind-meld with McCoy, thus transferring his "katra" or spirit, the doctor must also return to Vulcan. Once there, the risky ceremony fal-tor-pan is performed, fusing Spock's katra, which resides in McCoy's mind, with the Vulcan's body. In Kirk's quarters, Sarek, Spock's father, confronts the Admiral, saying that Spock's body should have been returned to Vulcan so that his katra could have been stored in an ancient Vulcan repository on Mount Seleya. www.startrek.com /startrek/view/series/MOV/003/synopsis/83.html

STAR TREK / THE ORIGINAL SERIES For the next few years he remained one of Kirk's trusted officers and stood with the group in the theft of the Enterprise to refuse Spock's body and katra, and then faced the UFP Council when those charges were dropped. Assigned to the U.S.S. Reliant in 2377 and promoted to commander within eight years of that, he was first officer to the ill-fated Captain Clark Terrell during the Genesis Project incident and Khan Singh's grab for it. He would have died if left to contemporary medicine, but was saved thanks to McCoy and went on to help secure the Khitomer Peace Accords - followed shortly by his shocked witness to Kirk's apparent death at the christening of the newest U.S.S.

1984 - STAR TREK III: The Search For Spock Together they watch the video showing the last events and they clearly see: Spock has given his Katra to McCoy. To make her escape possible from a explosion of the Genesis projector, he repaired the warp drive in a radioactive section of the ship. Kirk shares with Sarek that he would have given his life for Spock, but he is unaware of any sharing Spock is supposed to have done. www.ponilla.org /Nimoy/movies_ST-SFS.htm

Sheryl's Star Trek Site: Star Trek Women: Classic Star Trek:Chapel Shortly thereafter, she had contacted Sarek about speaking on Kirk's behalf during his inquiry before the Federation Council for theft and disobeying direct orders related to the Genesis device and rescue of Spock's body and "katra." Christine Chapel began her medical career aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise, sacrificing a biology career with several university degrees in research medicine to search for her lost fiance, Dr. Roger Korby, who had been missing for five years, ever since his last communication on Exo III. Some 15 years later, Chapel had won commander's bars by the time she oversaw responses to the whale-song aliens' "invasion" as director of Starfleet Emergency Operations. www.sherylfranklin.com /trekwomen_chapel.html

Bureau 42 Star Trek: Enterprise - "Kir'Shara" Anyway back to Archer holding his own, he was unpredictable and not logical in his attacks, there is NO reason you would think a flaming torch would stop a vulcan with a gun, so clearly he just confused them with his nonsensical behavior. It was nice to see melee combat, a rarity in Trek (completely lacking any beam weapons), but I don't know how a Human could hold his own against a Vulcan physically. Roddenberry said that Vulcan had higher gravity and therefore Vulcans were stronger than humans (see The Making of Star Trek), and I'm told that some of the novels state that this is so, but I can't actually recall an ep that discusses Vulcan gravity. www.bureau42.com /view/2332

CHUD - Cinematic Happenings Under Development In another lift from The Wrath of Khan, Data downloads all of his memories into B4, in the hope that the android can better adapt to life among humans.  It is a direct reference to the katra scene between Spock and McCoy from Khan, especially in light of Data’s fate in the film.  The story begins on Romulus, the homeworld of the war-like Romulans.  During a senate meeting, a kind of DNA bomb is detonated, killing all of the senators inside the council chamber, and making it possible for a new government to gain power. I’ve never cared for this “theory” because the sequel number should have nothing to do with the quality of the film; rather it’s the creative team behind the scenes that determines that.  For Star Trek 10, a new writer and director were brought in to freshen things up a bit.  Stuart (U. www.chud.com /reviews/stnemesis.php3
