    Spock wasn't that great a character

    Spock was, in many ways, the most complex character of the original series. He was never as logical as he would have perhaps wanted to be, but the leavening of emotion made him much more (you should pardon the expression) human. He was used as a vehicle to introduce many revolutionary (for their time) ideas, such as IDIC (non-Trekkies - look it up). Speaking for myself, the idea of logic as the guiding principle of life was very attractive. It's one of the reasons that I became a software engineer. R.I.P.

    I still prefer him as Paris. And Mission Impossible was a better show that Star Trek, too. A lot of Star Trek episodes were pretty dire.

      De gustibus non est disputandum. Whatever its artistic merits, I think we can agree that Mission Impossible had no where near the popular effect that Star Trek had. I agree that many Star Trek episodes were cringe-inducing, but the premise of the series was one of hope and confidence in the future. This was extremely unusual for the Sixties.
