Star Trek - 2.15 Journey to Babel

The Enterprise is taking a large group of ambassadors of the Federation to a council at Babel, including Mr. Spock's parents, the Vulcan Ambassador Sarek and his human wife, Amanda.

The old rare blood type trope, but you'd think they'd have a reasonable blood substitute by then.

Notes

• Spock hasn't been home in 4 years, and hasn't to his father as a father in 18 years.
• Sarek is secretly proud of his son being a Starfleet officer according to Amanda.
• Vulcans used to execute people.
• Sarek is 102 years old.
• Gratuitous shirtless Kirk scene
• Spock uses an experimental drug on himself to enable Bones to correct Sarek's heart defect.
• Bones seemed rather to have a full sickbay with Sarek, Spock and Kirk in there as patients at the end.
