John, I agree with you about Irene Kelley! I also, as I think I mentioned before, liked the depiction of telepathic abilities on the part of Spock without actually having to touch, just by looking at someone...actually it was always Irene he was doing it to, and I thought that scene particularly was very erotic, almost vampiric in a way. She looked like she would do whatever he wanted her to, and that was kind of hot! I think that was probably an early script thing (as OMEGA GLORY was originally one of the possible scripts for the series pilot), and they decided that Vulcans need to touch (or sometimes they do it through walls and stone--say what??!! LOL), in order to make telepathic contact. Pity because I think if they had left it as it was in OG, it would have been a cool addition to the Vulcan mystique.
