Spock explains that he was out there seeking answers, which leads Kirk to ask: “Answers to what, Spock? Our dilemma… or your personal one?” The two men continue to explore V’Ger together, stopping to examine a sensor bee. Spock, who at first appears not to have heard, suddenly heads toward the captain, draws his phaser and evaporates the probes that threatened to short-circuit Kirk’s life-support unit. He calls to Spock for help, desperately describing his predicament until only static is transmitted. Kirk has the same idea but cannot reach his weapon. On the bridge, the crew watch and a horrified Sulu advises Kirk to use his phaser.
Before he can catch up with the Vulcan, he is trapped by a group of crystals, which rapidly cover him and pin him to the wall. In the earlier version, Kirk pursues Spock when he leaves the ship and follows him into a curved corridor.
#SPOCK MIND MELD PICTURE PLACE OVER SERIES#
He travels through a series of corridors before mind-melding with a memory sphere that is part of a digital version of Ilia. The original idea for the sequence was that Spock would leave the Enterprise without Kirk’s permission in an attempt to explore V’Ger and learn more about it.
Original idea Kirk and Spock embark on a long journey… …passing spectacular scenery… …before their encounter with the memory cell (Concept art by Tony Smith) Director Robert Wise rejected it during post-production and replaced it with Spock’s spacewalk. The truth is that, although it was incredibly expensive, the sequence was abandoned because it failed on many levels. Clearly, after traveling across the galaxy, V'Ger was unable to reestablish contact with its creators, and these hypothetical analytical upgrades lead it to conclude that the only way to do so was to take the long road and travel back to Earth with the knowledge it collected on the way.According to legend, the memory wall is the great lost sequence of Star Trek: The Motion Picture and was cut only because it was impossible to complete the necessary effects in time for the movie’s December 1979 release. As for why V'Ger decided it needed to return, the Voyager probes were always designed to send information back to Earth, using radio.The cycle of upgrades might explain why V'ger has so many layers inside itself. It is this analytical engine that becomes the kernel of V'ger's sentience when it eventually upgrades itself to be more effective.
#SPOCK MIND MELD PICTURE PLACE OVER UPGRADE#
This would have required the addition of some kind of analytical engine that could evaluate new situations and provide whatever upgrade was necessary to address that situation, whether it be additional storage capacity, a new type of sensor, or some other tool.
They had no way of knowing just how far V'ger had already come, or that it might eventually reach some threshold where it would decide it needed to return what it had found to its creator. The machine race that upgraded V'ger merely gave it the potential to fulfill its programming, by making it possible for V'ger to add capacity and capabilities as necessary. (Or use the Universal Translator which in accordance with Clarke's Third Law "magically" translates what they say into what we hear as perfect 20th-century English.) (Which makes one think- perhaps all the characters are speaking a slightly different version of English (or whatever language) to our English, which sounds like Antiquated Linguistics to them and if they time travel, they have to try and adapt as best possible. It is likely that the term "black hole" used elsewhere in the franchise is possibly some kind of Translation Convention so 20th century audiences could understand it. Terminology changes, along with the language in general.Maybe it was a dig at a competing Disney film out at the time? A black hole? What's that?.So what Voyager 6 fell into wasn't a black hole but something people used to think was a black hole but turned out to be something else, probably some sort of unique wormhole capable of transporting the probe across the galaxy in one piece. What Voyager 6 fell into wasn't a black holeĭecker says Voyager 6 fell into "what they used to call a black hole." But in later series black holes are still called black holes.
