As both science officer and first officer, Spock performed his unique dual role as perhaps none other before or since. Favoring his Vulcan heritage over his human ancestry, the clash of cultures produced an inner conflict between logic and emotion that would trouble him for many years and even cause a family rift. Despite the stoic visage, his affinity for research and theoretical science rose to what some might label passionate levels, even as his tactical and diplomatic skills were never lacking for the role as backup commander.
Despite his own protests, Spock often betrayed an all-too-human affection for his captain and Dr. McCoy -- along with bitingly wry barbs aimed at the doctor. Their battle of wits became the stuff of legend among their original crewmates.
