An examination of the persisting interest of Leonard Nimoy and his depiction of Spock in Star Trek (1966).
nudity | A few quick pans of Nimoy's artistic photographs featuring black-and-white pictures of mostly fat naked people, nothing terribly explicit or titillating. The "Three men and a baby" scene where one of the men picks up the baby and baby's bottom is visible. A brief discussion of perceived homoerotic tensions between Kirk and Spock |
violence | Clips of Star Trek TOS scenes showing Spock fighting, using Vulcan nerve pinch, etc. - usual '60's sci-fi/fantasy violence. |
profanity | Two instances of "f**k", an instance of "damn", Star Trek IV clip featuring the punk rocker on the bus flicking off Spock and Kirk. |
alcohol | Nimoys discuss their respective substance-abuse addictions and recoveries. |
frightening | Clip of death scene from Star Trek IV of Spock dying from radiation from ship's reactor. |
