In the original Star Trek TV series, the ever-logical Mr. Spock is both the first officer and science officer of the USS Enterprise. Though he is half-Vulcan and half-human, he identifies himself as a Vulcan. Privately, he struggles between his strictly logical Vulcan-self and his emotional, more intuitive human-self.

The Top Six Reasons Mr. Spock is the Best First Officer 

  • Spock is extremely logical and precise.
  • He's highly skilled at math and science.
  • He's a walking encyclopedia.
  • He can knock you out with a Vulcan nerve pinch.
  • He plays a mean game of chess.
  • He died once, but he got better.

Spock Quotes 

The Quotable Mr. Spock...

  • I have never understood the female capacity to avoid a direct answer to any question.
  • Nowhere am I so desperately needed as among a shipload of illogical humans.
  • On my planet "to rest" is to rest, to cease using energy. To me it is quite illogical to run up and down on green grass using energy instead of saving it.
  • Judging by the pollution content of the atmosphere, I believe we have arrived at the late twentieth century.
  • Sir, you are employing a double negative.
  • "Fascinating" is a word I use for the unexpected. In this case, I should think "interesting" would suffice.
  • Logic is little tweeting bird chirping in meadow. Logic is wreath of pretty flowers that smell bad.
  • I am endeavoring, ma'am, to construct a mnemonic circuit using stone knives and bearskins.
  • It is curious how often you humans manage to obtain that which you do not want.
  • If I were human, I believe my response would be, "go to hell."
  • A curious creature. Its trilling seems to have a tranquilizing effect on the human nervous system. Fortunately, of course, I am, immune... to... its... effect....
  • After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.

"Evil" Spock

Zachary Quinto to Play Young Spock 

There's another Star Trek movie coming out in 2009. Leonard Nimoy will be starring as Spock, but we'll also get to see Spock as a youngin'. This young Spock role will be played by Zachary Quinto.

Apparently this Star Trek movie is going to focus on the early years of Kirk, Spock, and all the other fine USS Enterprise crew members we knew in the Original Series.

I am not sure how I feel about Zachary Quinto playing Spock because I think of him as EVIL from being Sylar on Heroes!

I found your lens when I was looking for links for my Star Trek TNG vs Star Trek TOS MonkeyBrain debate and added a link because it is a nicely done Star Trek lens--one of the better Star Trek lenses on Squidoo!
