#the undiscovered country
A delightfully awkward publicity photo for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, featuring Leonard Nimoy as Captain Spock and DeForest Kelley as Dr. Leonard McCoy.
Talking to contemporary journalists, Nimoy pointed out that the underlying theme of his character’s journey was a particularly effective element for him: “Spock experienced prejudice growing up half-Vulcan and half-Human. In Star Trek VI, Spock becomes an emissary against prejudice and discovers, during the course of the story, his own prejudices.”
(Quote source: Edward Gross and Mark A. Altman’s Captains’ Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, published in 1995 by Little, Brown, and Company.)

I also can’t believe I left this at 49 puns when either “Bean Me Up, Scotty,” or “Transporter Bean” was right there.
