Appreciating Leonard Nimoy, whose Spock one of TV history’s greatest characters
“Trek and Nimoy,” says Matt Zoller Seitz, “built Spock, the Vulcans, and their entire history out of bits and pieces of lived experience, which is why their world continues to exert such powerful fascination. And on a more basic level, there’s Spock’s struggle to be that which he’s not necessarily inclined to be: cool, rational, divorced from feeling.
