The line about Spock being "the most human" is super meaningful because his half human/Vulcan physiology is the reason why he could stay in the radiation chamber longer. However, Spock's humanity doesn't come from his DNA, but his willingness to sacrifice himself for his friends. Cue the sad bagpipe songs and tears.
He first appeared in the original Star Trek series serving aboard the starship USS Enterprise as science officer and first officer (and Kirk's second-in-command) and later as commanding officer of the vessel. Spock's mixed human–Vulcan heritage serves as an important plot element in many of the character's appearances.
Despite popular belief, Kirk never actually said the famous line "Beam me up, Scotty" in the original Star Trek series, but he did come close when he ordered, "Mr. Scott, beam us up" in the episode "The Cloud Minders."
As for everyone else, Spock and Uhura are co-workers of similar status. Decorum and protocol dictate that Kirk address all officers by rank or with “Mr” or “Mz” while on duty. He calls him by both.
Nimoy stated that after "The Naked Time", in which a disease causes Spock to cry, "I knew that we were not playing a man with no emotions, but a man who had great pride, who had learned to control his emotions and who would deny that he knew what emotions were. In a way, he was more human than anyone else on the ship."
In 2266, McCoy was posted as chief medical officer of the USS Enterprise under Captain James T. Kirk, who often calls him "Bones". McCoy and Kirk are good friends, even "brotherly".
Spock needed to return to Vulcan to marry T'Pring, who he had been bethrothed to since childhood. However, T'Pring had other plans and, instead of going through with the wedding, she handpicked Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) as her champion to fight Spock in kal-if-fee - a fight to the death.
Shatner explained that the iconic character was curious, courageous, and filled with awe and wonder, leaving the actor to regret not hitting the right note when he uttered Kirk's last words, 'Oh my,' at the point of his demise.
What are some Captain Kirk catchphrases? Captain Kirk had some memorable catchphrases, like "Beam me up, Scotty!" when he wanted to return to the starship, and "I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain!" from Scotty, the chief engineer. He's also known for saying "KHAAAN!" during overly dramatic moments.
In the films, Spock was accidentally sucked in a black hole that transported him from 2387 in the Prime Timeline to the year 2258 in the Kelvin Timeline. Spock was 157 when he ended up in the Kelvin Timeline and lived another four years there before passing away at the age of 161.
Surprisingly, though, there's evidence the role of Spock was originally offered to Oscar award-winning actor Martin Landau instead. In a 1986 interview with Starlog, Landau, who had since become associated with Gerry Anderson's Space: 1999, recalled being offered the role, only to turn it down.
During The Search for Spock, Saavik (Robin Curtis) mated with Spock to keep him from dying during the Pon Farr he experienced while rapidly aging on the Genesis Planet. The film only implied that the two had been intimate, but there were plans for Saavik to be pregnant with Spock's baby in subsequent movies.
No canonical children have been mentioned for Spock. Drafts of the scripts for Star Treks III and IV hinted that the rejuvenated Spock impregnated Saavik during his accelerated Pon Farr, but this was not referenced in the script as filmed.
Uhura's first name was not used in Star Trek canon until Abrams's 2009 film. The mystery regarding Uhura's first name is the subject of a running joke in the film, as Captain Kirk repeatedly tries to find out what it is, before finally hearing Spock call her "Nyota" in a moment of intimacy.
Series creator Bryan Fuller deliberately gave Martin-Green's character a traditionally male name, which he had done with the female leads (George, Jaye and Chuck) in three of his previous series. Martin-Green decided that the character was named after her father.
The line has been misquoted in media as "Damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor…" although McCoy never used this expletive in the series. However, this version of the line was eventually used by the alternate reality Leonard McCoy.
In order to demonstrate how close they truly were, and how much Kirk had “humanized” Spock, they would have him use the diminutive of James, which is Jim.
Spock “got his emotions back” several times in ST:TOS. In the episode, The Naked Time, the crew was infected by a virus that caused intense emotions. We saw Spock crying because he'd never told his mother he loved her.
Spock lies about the destiny of the Discovery, saying that the ship has been destroyed. It is also his proposal to deny the existence of the Discovery and of his own sister, Michael Burnham (DIS: "Such Sweet Sorrow II"). Spock tells Chekov that there has never been a mutiny on a Starfleet ship (TOS: "The Tholian Web").
Spock was a character who was written to be wrong about most things when he claimed probability or logic as a reason. There were many, many occasions when Mr. Spock estimated the probability of success of a course of action that Captain Kirk had proposed as minuscule. Spock gave tiny odds of success.
