14) 1997 Dr. Leonard H. McCoy

“I’m a doctor – not a bricklayer”

These are the famous words of Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy, the Chief Medical Officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise. Although the colorful doctor has the best sick bay in all of Starfleet at his disposal, he seems most comfortable being a simple doctor and genuinely seems to help healing the sick – although his comments about the 1990s being “the dark ages” in Star Trek iV were quite humerous when he spoke to a patient about kidney dialysis. However, this 1997 Hallmark ornament depicts a rather ironic view of Dr. McCoy (played by actor DeForrest Kelly), as it has him inside of a transporter – a device that the doctor hates to use. Dr. McCoy appeared in the original TV series and the six feature films, and also made an appearance as an admiral on Star Trek: The Next Generation. His parting words to Commander Data (about the Enterprise) were: “Treat her like a lady, and she’ll always bring you home”. Dr. McCoy was also quite a cook, according to his friend James (Jim) Kirk – who asked for his “secret ingredient” – which happened to be Tennessee Whisky – while they were camping after the good captain fell off of a huge mountain in Star Trek V.

12) 1996 Mr. Spock

Fascinating! The crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise would hear this word spoken by their Vulcan science officer many times as he mans the science station abourd their starship, as shown by this 1996 Star Trek Hallmark Keepsake Ornament. Although Mr. Spock was half human and half Vulcan (his mother was Amanda Grayson, a human, and his father was Sarek, a Vulcan Diplomat), it was always clear that Spock’s mid was trained in the Vulcan way, but the crew could always see how he would struggle to incorporate his human thoughts and feelings. Mr. Spock served as the first officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise under two different captains (Christopher Pike and James T. Kirk), until he was promoted to Captain himself and given command of the Enterprise, only to relinquish command to Admiral Kirk in Star Trek II – The Wrath of Khan. Mr. Spock, as played by Leonard Nimoy, appeared in 7 feature films, including as an older version of himself in the 2009 Star Trek “reboot” film.

And of course, he was famous for telling everyone to “Live long and prosper” – and reminding us that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few … or of the one (as Captain Kirk added).
