![]() While Spock barely appears, his presence looms large in a story where the main antagonist is hubris itself. The result was 1984’s Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, perhaps the most introspective movie the long-running franchise ever produced. Spock’s demise was so iconic that rumors spread that the ever-busy Nimoy had only taken on the project to take out Spock once and for all. Things went smoother the next go-around when he delivered a marquee performance of his career in The Wrath of Khan. Years of personal animosity with Gene Roddenberry - and a lawsuit over Paramount using his likeness without permission - had to be settled to make 1979’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Nimoy kept busy, although Star Trek kept calling. He explored the theater, playing Sherlock Holmes with the Royal Shakespeare Company and starring in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest a year before the Jack Nicholson movie debuted. He appeared regularly on TV, from guest appearances on Colombo to an Emmy-nominated performance as the husband of Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir. The Spock actor quickly found work on the action-adventure series Mission: Impossible as a magician-turned-secret agent.įrom there, Nimoy’s career blossomed. The members of the smaller clan, from elder to young child, feel a biological need to obey what the bigger clan tells them to do.After the original Star Trektelevision series ended in 1969, several cast members worried they’d never escape the shadow of the USS Enterprise. ![]() and they just do, without so much as a grumble or a shed tear. On the downside? The wind up without variety of cultures and groups: as soon as one pretty large clan decides that their ancestors want them to 'erase' all of the other clans for whatever reason, they promptly go to the neighbouring smaller clans, tell them to abandon their entire culture and history. Now, what does this mean? On the plus side, they don't have wars, crime is virtually non-existent, and everyone is both polite and friendly to each other. ![]() Their morality becomes entirely a question of 'whatever the majority wants', ambition and greed are seen universally across their cultures as bad, even in small quantities, and they actually feel guilty if they find out they have a disagreement with the rest of the group.Īs a result, they stay unified and advance enough to keep their numbers up despite everything trying to eat them. Eventually, the very concept of disobedience and even having a different opinion to everyone else becomes both taboo and highly uncommon. So, any individuals that disagree with the group break off and die. Because they're primarily carnivores, they're prone to aggression, and it means that slight disagreements could quickly flair up to break up the group: divided, they'd pretty much all die horribly. they themselves are (relatively) squishy and weak, but they had two advantages: intelligence, and team-work. I actually use this conflict as one of the basic aspects of one of my alien species.Įssentially, the species originated on a brutal world where basically Everything Is Trying to Kill You. What profit is it to a man, when he gains his money, but loses his internet? Anonymous 16:26 I believe. I assume this thread only deals with us human beings, because if not, then I have another response to the title of this topic: the need of one already outweighed all of us. Every one has needs, but the point of this thread title and discussion is to find out the balancing act, on what's outweighed and what's not. Not to mention what one must keep on doing to stay there. Let's not be densely vague, shall we? In our concrete jungles, there are lots of conditions to fulfill simply before being hired into a part of one of countless companies. ![]() You asked me about being qualified for what. So, let me put this perspective on the way. When I replied in this topic, I don't expect to use quantity to determine which side is few or which is many, because that derails things fast. Relatively speaking, it could be 10 to 100, or 100 to 500, or 2000 to 12000, etc. I only said that those who are qualified tend to be few. I never specified the amount of quantity. ![]()
