[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] Spock was half-Human, if that is your definition of "odd". So regardless of that, for being half human he seems to have extraordinary telepathic abilities, again melding with Nomad, the Horta, sensing V'Ger...and of course sensing a starship die: [QUOTE][b]SPOCK[/b]: Doctor, even I, a half-Vulcan, could hear the death scream of 400 Vulcan minds crying out over the distance between us. [b]MCCOY[/b]: Not even a Vulcan could feel a starship die. [b]SPOCK[/b]: Call it a deep understanding of the way things happen to Vulcans... [/QUOTE]This was established early very early in the series (episode 11): [QUOTE] [b]SPOCK (in ships log)[/b]: I must now use an ancient Vulcan technique to probe into Van Gelder's tortured mind. .... [b]SPOCK (RE: a mind meld)[/b]: It's a hidden, personal thing to the Vulcan people, part of our private lives. [/QUOTE]'Ancient' is typically longer than 110 years and, well, "Stigma" and "Fusion" made it sound nasty dirty (hence the whole 'AIDS' tie-in), which seems to contradict something Spock almost describes as sacred. Had [i]Enterprise[/i] set up mind melds or whatnot as a 'long lost' Vulcan religious-blah-blah-technique that is currently being rediscovered, versus a social stigma, then I can see how it might fit as an 'ancient' technique with is once again being practiced and keeping continuity in place better than B&B are handling it.
