Not The Hell Your Whales

Spock and his Vulcan mind meld made for some memorable episode moments as well as in the feature films.  One of the more thrilling and awe inspiring moments - not to mention hilarious - was a highlight in the Leonard Nimoy directed film, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.


After mind melding with the two humpback whales, Spock learns that Gracie is pregnant.  What follows is a race to remove George and Gracie from captivity and time travel them to Captain Kirk's era to tell that pesky probe what to do with itself.  With recent news of SeaWorld's announcement to permanently suspend their whale performance act, it's a sure thing Enterprise's science officer would have approved wholeheartedly.
