aldora89:madfrieza:Permission to come aboard?Permission granted. Star Trek IV: Save The WhalesSo SFS is about recovering Spock’s body and mind, right? Well, VH is about recovering his heart.The crew gave up so much to get him back, but something is missing. He doesn’t remember important emotional details (“Admiral”/”it’s Jim”). The nuances of his memories are lost on him. He has a warmer, more open kind of logic than during TMP, but he has still very much regressed to a state of dissociation from his feelings.But there’s no quick fix via a giant transdimensional computer this time. He just needs to be taught about the balance between his two halves all over again, step by step - punctuated with little breakthroughs like the end of this film - and the whole process takes years.Yes, this movie is hilarious. But if Jim’s uncharacteristic outburst toward the end (“haven’t you got any goddamn feelings about that?”) is any indication, at least some of Spock’s cluelessness is not as cute or funny to the people closest to him as it is to us. Because this isn’t the Spock who died in WoK; he has a kind of amnesia, and seeing him broken all over again hurts them. Especially the man who would have given his life to save Spock’s. #Jim knows it’s not the same as TMP but the distance reminds him of those days Well, this analysis is spot-on in a heartbreaking sort of way. -- source link
