DVD Reviews of Star Trek - The Original Series, Vol. 17, Episodes 33 & 34: Who Mourns For Adonais/Amok Time
DVD Review: That Tau Pow, All of Vulcan in One
Summary: 5 Stars
In Amok Time, we get a first hand view of the power and influence of Spock's family. In the book, "Spocks World" the author describes Spock's family possessing vast amounts of land. By right, Jim and McCoy may accompany Spock, as his friends, too his home world and beam down onto the Spock's families land. The customs of Vulcan are not open to outsiders. Jim says to McCoy, "Now I know what 'Hot as Vulcan means', the air is thinner than earth's air.
Spock tells Jim that a short ritual will transpire and Ta Pring will become his wife. The marriage arrangement was established when both Spock and Ta Pring were very young, a mind melt; less, than a marriage but more than a betrothal. As the marriage party approaches, Ta Pow leads the brides family. Jim leans over too McCoy and says, "Do you know who that is? That is Ta Pow. All of Vulcan, in one. The only person ever to turn down a seat on the federation. Spock never told me his family was this influencial."
Ta Pring initiates her ancient rite to Kali Fe, the challenge. Spock must fight for her hand in marriage. Long before logical and peace doctrines surpressed violent warlike drives, combat and warfare were the methods of conquest and possession. Ta Pring was within her rites. A Vulcan could not divorce himself from his custom, beliefs, and heritage; nor, could a Vulcan ignore the ancient drives to select a mate or die trying. Ta Pring choses Jim, as her champion. Spock begs Ta Pow, too forbid the challenge with Jim, declaring, "He does not understand, I will do what I must. Forbid!" Ta Pow respect for Spock seems lacking, "It is said, 'thy blood is thin! Are thee Vulcan or Human?" Spock's family honour does not go tainted, "My eyes burns, my heart burns. In the name of my fathers, forbid!" Ta Pow has other plans.
Jim looks over at Stonn but is staunchly told by Ta Pow, "Do not interfere". Jim tells McCoy, he does think Spock will be able beat Stonn, in his current condition; he will fight Spock and if he starts to winn, he will allow Spock too win; the challenge is accepted, Ta Pow ask Ta Pring, if she is willing to become the property of the victor; and narrates, "as it was in the beginning, so it is now. Challenge was been legally accept. The fight will commence with the Lippa and then too the iron womb until one is dead." Jim holds his own against Spock. McCoy tells Ta Pow, "Do you call this Vulcan Chivalry? The air is too thin." Ta Pow, says "the air is the air. What can be done?" McCoy holds up a vial of medication and says, "I can give him this." McCoy slips Jim a neural paralyzer which simulates death. Spock wins the battle and demands the Ta Pring explain. Ta Pring says, "specify". Spock rebuttals, "explain why the challenge." "Stonn wanted me and I wanted Stonn". Spock seems disgussed, "I see no advantage in chosing Stonn over me." Spock had become famous among the people of Vulcan for his achievements in science. "I realized I did not want to become a consort of a legand. If I had dared to challenge you, you would have put me off, and I would still have Stonn. If you had not put me off, you would be gone and I would have Stonn. If you did not put me off, I would have my property and household; and Stonn would still be here" Spock seems satified, "Logical, flawlessly logical." Spock tells Stonn wisdom, "Wanting is a more pleasing thing than having. It is not logical but often true." When Spock gets back on the enterprise, his human emotions break through,as he yells, "Captain Kirk. Jim!", as he grabs Jim and smiles. McCoy pokes fun at Spock and says, "You can't tell me that when you saw Captain Kirk that you let a emotion outburst that would have brought down the roof." "No doctor, it was my mere expression of relief of Star Fleets not loosing a good captain." McCoy slyly says, "In a pigs eye."
