Yeah, HELLO! It’s freaking television. It’s fiction. He’s an a.c.t.o.r.

Actually he was a genuine artist, and his representation of Spock went deep into the human psyche, and helped a billion people reflect on their humanity and even inspire them to pursue careers in science. He demonstrated the complexities of the human condition, and the triumph of self-discipline, by pretending to be an alien. It was truly a role of profound genius-on-a-budget that he developed on his own, and his work will last a very long time precisely because of its humanity.

I'm very sorry you can't comprehend any of that, especially any of its beauty or value. You're missing out on a lot.

Well said. The very best science fiction is not about science or fiction, but about humanity viewed thru a different lens. The great characters of sic-fi are what's memorable and enjoyable.
