"He was a very professional actor and he put it across well." "I was there when we first set up the set and got it going and introduced him," says Spencer. Kit Spencer, Michael Tomczyk, and scriptwriter David Rogers monitored the shoot. "We created the Shatner VIC commercials with a Star Trek type feel and the strategy of, 'Why buy just a game machine when you can play great games and learn computing too with a Commodore VIC-20.'" Commodore computers showed up in productions Shatner was involved in for years after that.Ī few bits and bobs taken from Brian Bagnall's fantastic book, Commodore - A Company On The Edge. Along with his wage they gave him a bunch of Commodore computers and showed him how to use them, or the PET at least. He'd never used a computer before and he was fascinated. The reason for this is that Shatner starred in a few commercials for Commodore, promoting the VIC-20. Spock: "I have been-and shall always be.your friend. Spock: "I never took the Kobiyahi Maru test. Spock: "Don't grieve, Admiral - it's logical: the needs of the many outweigh. Kirk and Spock are able to talk one last time-but this time separated by glass. Spock sacrifices himself to die of radiation sickness-but doing so allows him to save the crew of the ship. Then at the end of the film of course-one of the all time most memorable "Deaths" on screen. Spock: "In any case-were I to invoke logic, logic clearly dictates the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." They discuss Kirk's promotion-and Spock feels that it was mistake-as Kirk's leadership as a Captain is needed. In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan at the start of the film, Kirk and Spock talk how they have been ordered to investigate something in their quadrant. To me - this is one of greatest scenes in the history of cinema.
