Sadly this has to be his final role as Spock, he wore Nimoy's shoes very well.

@Marauder: You're assuming he won't come back. They aren't rehashing the Wrath of Khan and (while we can guess) we can't say he's flat out going to die.

Yes, he's not Spock and Abram's Trek is not really Trek. He didn't revitalize Star Trek. He tore it apart and put the Trek name on it.

@Kamdan..So when he delivers his lines he does so changing the physical state of matter from a gaseous phase into liquid phase?

Brad Bird should direct Star Trek 3.

A lot of run-on sentences, Romano. Please, do something about that.

@Egg I think what Kamdan meant to say is that Quinto's Spock is condescending, where Nimoy's Spock was not, which is completely untrue.

If anything, due to the sheer volume and scope of TOS episodes, we see more of the snarky, condescending Spock that you don't see within the span of the films.

Nimoy's Spock was a very condescending character, but he delivered his shade in such a dry and analytic manner that it usually took Kirk or Bones, people who knew him well enough, to sauce out the mean-spirited intent of his words or behavior.

@pintoman...you're an idiot, as per usual.

Abram's Star trek is a glossy-eyed mess most of the time, true, one that doesn't really say as much as the TOS series did in terms of social issues and politics, but, as far as popcorn flicks go, I wouldn't be disinclined to watching it.

Sure, the spirit of TOS isn't there, and the execution is mediocre, but...what do you know? I forgot what point I was trying to make.

Not that it matters. I just don't like you.

Quinto, you do what you gotta do. It's your career, not ours. Although, now that's it in my head, I can totally see him as Namor.

"Quinto doesn't come across on screen as a character that prefers women."

@pintoman: what the fcuk are you trying to say? i not sure if your gaybashing, or really looking for a womanizing spock...

The only reason Quinto was cast as the role of Spock is because of his big nose. That's it.

I'm beyond excited to see this movie. The 9 minute prologue just left me wanting more lol

Wait, never mind, Quinto recently came out and denied the rumors.

I think Quinto makes a great Spock. I think he is closer to Nimoy's Spock than Pegg is to Doohan's Scotty. And let's not even talk a out Checkov.

You forgot Jolene Blalock! Best LOOKING Vulcan for sure!
