Gia Sandhu plays Spock in T’Pring’s body, just as Sandra Smith played Kirk in the body of Janice Lester. However, like “Spock Amok,” that episode did feature a female actor “playing” a male Star Trek character. The Voyagerepisode “Body and Soul” finds the Doctor inside Seven’s body, while in TNG, Picard and Crusher’s minds are linked telepathically in the episode “Attached.” Bu the most infamous example of body-switching comes from T he Original Series, in the episode “Turnabout Intruder,” which is nobody’s favorite Star Trek episode. There’s oddly not as much body switching in Star Trek as you might think.
Incidentally, The Wrath of Khan celebrated its 40th anniversary the same week “Spock Amok” aired. That said, because Spock actually did the mind-meld with Bones in The Wrath of Khan, we could consider that to be the origin of katras, too. The notion of a Vulcan katra (or “soul”) being shared with another person originates with Star Trek III: The Search for Spock when we learn Spock put his katra in McCoy’s body.
Spock mention,s “I was bonded to my pet sehlat I-Chaya.” The first mention of Spock’s pet sehlat was in the TOSepisode “Journey to Babel.” However, we actually saw I-Chaya in The Animated Seriesepisode “Yesteryear.” Sharing Katras The sound effect for opening the door of the airlock is straight from The Original Series, continuing a tradition in Strange New Worlds of using old-school sound effects. Mott, the barber on the Enterprise-D in The Next Generation. The most famous Bolian in Star Trek was Mr. But, with her is a Bolian, Ensign Zier, played by Torri Webster. When Na’an and Una catch two junior officers trying to use the airlock, one of them is Ensign Christina (Jennifer Hui) who we’ve seen before. This seems to reference the Deep Space Nineepisode “Explorers,” in which Sisko builds an ancient Bajoran ship with a solar sail. The R’ongovians are using a starship with a solar sail. This references a similar uniform variant Kirk wore throughout The Original Series, probably most famously in “The Trouble With Tribbles.” Pike’s is decidedly more leathery than Kirk’s and features a Starfleet insignia in two places instead of just one. Pike’s Green TunicĬaptain Pike rocks a wraparound green Captain’s tunic in this episode. However, it should be noted that, at this point in Star Trek history, Starfleet has no clue what the Romulans look like. We’re told the R’ongovian Protectorate is the “fastest route to the other side of the Beta Quadrant.” Klingon space has always been located partly in the Beta Quadrant.

Speaking of Discovery, Spock mentions that Starbase 1 has been “repaired after the Klingon War.” This references the events of Discoveryseason 1, a time in which the Enterprise was far away from Federation space. Spock as himself, human Spock (dream sequence), fully-Vulcan Spock (dream sequences), and T’Pring as Spock! Spock’s Leather OutfitĪlthough this opening sequence has a lot of TOSeaster eggs, Spock’s leather outfit does recall one of his costumes from Discoveryseason 2.

However, the IDW comic series set in the Kelvin timeline did briefly introduce an alternate reality where Spock embraced his human side and became “Simon Grayson,” even going so far as to have his Vulcan ears surgically altered.Ĭounting “regular” Spock, we actually see four different Spocks in this episode. Notably, this is the first time we’ve seen a fully human Spock on screen in any Star Trek, ever. Strange New Worlds composer Nami Melumad reuses Gerald Fried’s score for “Amok Time.” Specifically, we get a new version of Fried’s famous piece of TOSmusic, “The Ritual/The Ancient Battle/2nd Kroykah.” Human Spock Spock’s shirt is ripped almost exactly the way Kirk’s gets ripped in “Amok Time.”įinally, there’s a wonderful musical easter egg here.Spock flashing the Vulcan salute (which originated in “Amok Time”).Here are the specific visual cues taken straight from “Amok Time.”
