For the Love of Spock Print

“Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” “Change is the essential process of all existence.” “It is curious how often you humans manage to obtain that which you do not want.” “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.” “Without followers, evil cannot spread.” “Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them.” “In critical moments, men sometimes see exactly what they wish to see.” “After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but is often true.” “I realize that command does have its fascination, even under circumstances such as these, but I neither enjoy the idea of command nor am I frightened of it. It simply exists, and I will do whatever logically needs to be done.” “Where there is no emotion, there is no motive for violence.” “If there are self-made purgatories, then we all have to live in them.” “If I were human I believe my response would be ‘go to hell’. If I were human.” “I have been and always shall be your friend.” “You find it easier to understand the death of one than the death of a million. You speak about the objective hardness of the Vulcan heart, yet how little room there seems to be in yours.” “Live long and prosper.” -Spock (Leonard Nimoy) Spock is a fictional character in the Star Trek media franchise. Spock, who was originally played by Leonard Nimoy, first appeared in the original Star Trek series serving aboard the starship Enterprise as science officer and first officer, and later as commanding officer of two iterations of the vessel. Spock's mixed human-Vulcan heritage serves as an important plot element in many of the character's appearances. Along with Captain James T. Kirk and Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, he is one of the three central characters in the original Star Trek series and its films. After retiring from active duty in Starfleet, Spock serves as a Federation ambassador, and later becomes involved in the ill-fated attempt to save Romulus from a supernova, leading him to live out the rest of his life in a parallel timeline. Spock was played by Nimoy in the original Star Trek series, the animated Star Trek series, eight of the Star Trek feature films, and a two-part episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Multiple actors have played the character since Nimoy within Star Trek's main continuity. The most recent portrayal is Ethan Peck, who played Spock as a recurring character in the second season of Star Trek: Discovery and in Star Trek: Short Treks. He will reprise the role, this time as a main character, in the upcoming Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which will act as both a Discovery spin-off and a prequel to the original Star Trek series. Additionally, Zachary Quinto played Spock in the feature films Star Trek (2009), Star Trek Into Darkness (2013), and Star Trek Beyond (2016). Although these last three films are set in the aforementioned parallel timeline, Nimoy appears in the first two films as the original timeline's Spock. The character has appeared in numerous Star Trek novels, comics, and video games. For the Love of Spock is a 2016 American documentary film about actor Leonard Nimoy produced by 455 Films and directed by his son Adam Nimoy, who started it before his father's death on February 27 2015. It deals with the story of the character, its impact in science fiction and popular culture, and the burden its fame posed on Leonard Nimoy's personal and family life, from his son's point of view.
