Star Trek: The Original Series/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

* "The Devil in the Dark" when Kirk and Spock resolve the situation by [[Shaming the Mob]] with the revelation that the Horta [[Monster Is a Mommy]], and then propose a solution to resolve the situation, which works perfectly with both populations ending the story living and prospering together in peace.

** The whole episode is a meta-CMOHW when you know that [[William Shatner]] received news of his father's death the day before filming, and was scheduled to ship out later that day. Spock's personal space bubble is as small as it ever was in this episode, as [[Leonard Nimoy]] lends Shatner his support. Shatner later recounts his gratitude for the support of the other actors, particularly [[Leonard Nimoy]] and [[DeForest Kelley]], likening it to the way elephant herds will converge around the bereaved, offering silent comfort.
