Fun fact: the Vulcan ambassador is named Solkar. He has a son named S’kon. Who has a son called Sarek. Who has a son called Spock.

[ProCoRat]

This is the most important day in both Human and Vulcan history. The beginning of a friendship that would take them both further than they ever could have made it alone.

[tardismechanic]

I love the fact that intimate contact is so alien to Vulcans, yet he just goes right in for a handshake. This is bliss.

[Stella-vjsx]

Can we appreciate the fact that, to the Vulcan Commander's understanding, Cochrane kissed him upon arrival? Kudos to him for going along with that.

[harlankrissoff]

I love how the Vulcan understands extending the hand is a sign of friendship.

[dmanc]

Imagine, you encounter an alien species and the first thing you do is try to get them drunk and dance.

2:52 - In some ways, this foreshadows the relationship between Humans and Vulcans for the rest of their joint histories: The humans are 110% enthusiasm, excitement and enjoyment whilst the poor Vulcans sit to one side, pondering the lessons to learn and wondering what the hell these *insane children* will do next.

[planguy]

Vulcan's were observing humans for awhile. Imagine what it must have been like to see a species blow themselves back to the stone age and then have a survey vessel detect a warp signature from them. Humans must be fascinating to Vulcans.

And keep in mind that Vulcan's themselves had a dark history, they wouldn't necessarily look down on humans because they also had demons they struggled with.

"And that, young Federation, was how I met your mother."

[Alasdair]

The most powerful scene in Star Trek ever! If this scene doesn’t get you emotional, you have no soul

[jessedellross]

Everything about this scene is fantastic.

The start of a wondrous friendship between two races.

[hisdudeness]

I love how the Vulcans are like, ‘These are a strange people, but they seem friendly enough. I think we can mingle for a bit.’

😊

3:14 Zefrem Cochrane: *plays "Ooby Dooby" and starts dancing*

Vulcan ambassador(?): "This is highly illogical."

Happy First Contact Day!

The real joy of this scene is how the acting, directing, and music come together to look like it was actual history. First contact with the Vulcans seemed as real as Washington crossing the Delaware.

[Beau]

It must have really frightened a lot of Vulcans to watch Earth go from a planet full of techno-barbarians to the head of an interstellar empire in just one of their lifetimes.

[MaxwellRodgers]

For me the Vulcan's reaction to the music as if it was a battle was priceless, prolly thinking, "Huh, this noise is kinda catchy" lol

[Renegadebane]

Vulcans: Live long and prosper.
Humans :Be excellent to each other.... and party on dudes.

[HunterBidenCocaineBag]

I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one crying in the theater (or even now). Brilliant touch having Cochran unable to do the Vulcan "live long and prosper" sign with his hand.

[ericmiller]

The look on the vulcans face when cochran is trying to get him to dance is priceless . Its like the vulcan is saying with his reaction whatever youre illogical and crazy😊
