I believe you're thinking of Pon Farr-- every 7 years a Vulcan male is overwhelmed by the urge to mate, and if he doesn't act on it, he dies.

But it can't be with just any female, it has to be with his wife.

That would sure put a damper on affairs, wouldn't it?

I had a book where Spock actually had fathered a son named either Zar or Zack. It was when he was trapped on a frozen world in some planet's past. It was called Yesterday's Son. I loaned it out and never got it back.

There is room for creative license since Saavik was able to help him through it in Search for Spock. However, in the episode Amok Time, if he could have accepted someone other than T'Pring, I'm sure that Kirk and McCoy would have ordered it and that Nurse Chapel would have been leading the line of volunteer to help him.

I agree. I'm surprised someone didn't jump on that dream of hers. There are enough Star Trek books out there.

Yes, that's it!!!

I can just see Sheldon's face as he's saying it!

Given that Kirk practically had to use the tractor beam to get that information out of Spock, I think it safe to presume that details on pon farr are not widely available off-Vulcan.

And at the time the show was made, the idea of asking for volunteers for Spock's problems would never have made it past the censors.

The arranged marriage from Hell. I didnt get the impression women suffered from Pon Far, since they had T'Pol geting married in Enterprise.

I can't remember if I read this or if it was mentioned somewhere in one of the later series...but I recall it being explained that this was one of the reasons Vulcans developed their logical culture -- the women were getting fed up with the wildly erratic, emotional behavior in the men and decided they weren't going to take it any more.

Could Earth women follow their example, please???

Are you talking about Pon Far?

There's actually a hysterical fic on FF.net where Sheldon goes into Pon Far... and naturally Penny is the recipient of his 'urges'. Definitely smutty, but a worthwhile read. I'll have to see if I can dig up a link...

Just wondering why they can't get into the Phoenix... the elevation bubble appears to be clear?

Hey, TJs back! Hope you had a great time.

That would be too logical, to use the bubble. We must have angst!

Marching flowers. Didn't the Jigokillers ove around on their own?

Welcome back TJ, I hope you had a great vacation.



What is this about using a remote control to turn the phoenix into the firebird? I thought the ship had to be moving to change, let alone the team on/in the ship to go Firey.

Clearly this Phoenix has powers (and limitations) beyond what we can imagine... Wink

Thanks guys! I had a great time, but I sure missed this place!

Hi TJ! Wave2

Good to have you back!


A remote-controlled Phoenix...now, that's a good idea! The team won't even have to get out bed in the morning!

It could be remote controlled in proximity to Mark's communicator (or one of their communicators.) But I do understand what you are saying Daniella.
