Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Video: Paul Wesley And Ethan Peck Talk Kirk And Spock's New Connection — Are They Officially Friends Now?
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds stars Paul Wesley and Ethan Peck break down Kirk and Spock's newfound connection - watch our video interview.
One of TV's most iconic friendships is blossoming on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. In Thursday's episode, the Enterprise crew took a break on a resort planet, where they celebrated with gasses that made them feel naturally intoxicated. Spock, in particular, had a unique way of letting loose, playing board games with Kirk and admitting he'd never had a human best friend before.
Paul Wesley, who plays Kirk, told TVLine that he believes Kirk and Spock are now "buds." However, Ethan Peck, who portrays Spock, feels Kirk understands this sooner than Spock does. He suggests that friendship for Vulcans might be different and that social events might come to them differently. Both Wesley and Peck agree that the challenges they've faced together have brought them closer, with Spock finally opening up to Kirk this week.
While they're not yet at the same level of friendship as seen in the original Star Trek series, executive producer Akiva Goldsman says they're definitely on their journey.
