Poll Ethan Peck's Spock

[trekfan_1]

This poll/discussion is specifically directed to those who has seen substantial amounts of both the TOS era and Strange New Worlds.

There seems to be some growing sentiment within the fanbase- not necessarily against Ethan Peck, but not liking how Spock is being written in SNW. Just wondering how widespread this is among the fanbase or if its a vocal minority. Personally, although a have a few issues with SNW Spock, overall I'm happy on how he's been presented in the show.

He's brilliant.

I don't recall there being a poll.

More than likely the same vocal minority that likes to shit on anything made after 2005 has started a new round of whining, likely to coincide with the release of season 3 of Strange New Worlds.

I'm sure we can count on them bringing out all the old classics over the coming weeks.

Meh, not really a fan of his interpretation. Of the "other than Nimoy's" I feel like Zachary Quinto had a much better handle on the character.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Peck is better than Quinto. Quinto's "advantage" is he looks more like Nimoy.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

Peck's Spock is different, but not out of line with what I would expect of the character at this stage of his life. And given SNW leans more into comedy, the performance is entirely appropriate.

I love Ethan Peck's take on Spock and I love the material he's been given.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

I feel like they got the right actor, but they've made him the comic relief.

 

[Finn]

They kinda made Nimoy's Spock the comic relief sometimes on TOS.

Couldn't disagree more, but there ya go.

Sometimes. A lot less than they do Peck.

And I admit, it is pretty funny.

Characters like Spock, Data and Seven are ripe targets for humor.
