Captain Spock's mind meld with Dr. McCoy wasn't in Nicholas Meyer's original script, nor did he direct the scene. This was added after test audiences said they wished there was hope that Spock could be revived. When Paramount Studios ordered the change, Meyer threatened to have his name taken off the film. However, according to Leonard Nimoy's autobiography "I Am Spock", Harve Bennett approached him during the original filming of the scene and suggested doing a mind meld with Bones "as a thread we could pick up in a later film." In this account, it was Nimoy who suggested the single word "Remember..." He makes no mention of the studio ordering this change, nor of this being due to any audience test screenings. He does state that Paramount Studios had concerns from the outset that audiences might not accept the death, and that Meyer had reservations about the scene, as he wanted Spock's death to be final.
