Looks like we will have a fully bearded Lieutenant Spock on Discovery

I wish I could find that clip of Shatner and I think, Kelley using the small hand phasers as razors.
This?
In my opinion - this is the best thing to ever happen to Spock.
Well, it seems to me like you're biased
Certainly not. Have you heard of Spock's Goatee? Now that joker is biased.Well, it seems to me like you're biased
And Eeeeeeeeevil!
I have reduced national productivity by some infinitesimal, yet measurable, amount:I wish I could find that clip of Shatner and I think, Kelley using the small hand phasers as razors.
I bet he doesn't even have a portable typewriter.

Agreed.Well, it seems to me like you're biased
Man, you spoiled the plot twist that this teacher was really from the Mirror Universe. By training Tuvok to be logical, he forced the crew of Voyager to endure Tuvok's self righteous monologues for 7 years. It was the most cruel and unusual punishment the Mirror folks could think of inflicting on the Federation at the time.
Don't forget his speech to Captain Sulu in the first go 'round.
Whilst I've been quite critical of this show and I question the wisdom of showing Spock at all, I really cannot understand people being upset about the beard. These guys are joking, surely? Historically beards have improved the quality of Star Trek shows, so I hope the same happens here.
It is actually quite clever. The beard nicely distracts from the fact that Peck doesn't look like Nimoy (or Quinto, if you care about that) and once we get used to the actor he can shave.

The beard is actually a good way to adjust to the fact that Prime Spock isn't Nimoy. I wonder if they could have switched out Jonathan Frakes using the beard as a cover back in TNG...?
Might as well go all out and if Patrick Stewart gets tired of his new show, have Picard grow a beard and replace him with someone else...
So, one publicity still and a quick couple seconds of a trailer (both of which have Spock not in his uniform, by the way) and people think he'll have a beard for the time he's on the series?
I wouldn't mind that. He can have shaved five minutes before the beginning of "Where No Man Has Gone Before"
Were they saying that back about Riker when the first season 2 previews of TNG hit?
"So, one publicity still and a quick couple seconds of a trailer and people think Riker'll have a beard for the time he's on the series?"
I think it's how we first see him when brought aboard Discovery, then we'll see him clean shaven and with the shorter haircut when in full uniform.
Poor Spock has to represent 6 billion fictional beings while all the Star Trek humans can be as diverse as you please with beard's and bald heads and tashes. They even come in different skin tones
