2. When Friends Clash

In one of the last scenes of the aforementioned Amok Time, T€™Pring, the Vulcan woman betrothed to Spock, chooses Captain Kirk as her champion in a fight to the death against him. While most of the original series€™ fight scenes were left to William Shatner€™s Kirk, this time we get to see the captain fight his first officer in a brutal battle that involves two deadly Vulcan weapons, the Lirpa and the Ahn€™woon. The fight culminates with Spock appearing to have killed Kirk, although it is really a ploy designed to end the fight with neither man dying, as Dr. McCoy has injected Kirk with a drug that simulates death. Upon learning that he has, in fact, not slain Kirk, Spock cries out, €œJim!€ in a joyous display of emotion.
