Well, that was less than thrilling, although the steampunk party was worth the price of admission. (Seriously, NO TEENAGER IS GOING TO TALK LIKE THAT TO HER FATHER. OY.) I did enjoy the Ryan and Esposito stuff. I think if I were tuning in for the first time, I would have automatically assumed they were a couple from their interactions this week. Ryan seemed to know an awful lot about Esposito's whereabouts and health.

I also watched the last episodes of Fringe S1 yesterday, and...wow. That final shot. Man. I was pleased to see that the theory I was most sure about, our Peter having come from an alternate universe, was true. Also, Leonard Nimoy will never not be Spock. Ever. (All through the last two episodes, I could just hear J.J. Abrams going, "HEY GUYS, MY VERSION OF STAR TREK IS COMING OUT THIS MONTH! YOU SHOULD GO WATCH IT!")

Ah, we are talking about the same thing in different ways. I do not typecast him as Spock. I have had the opportunity to see him from his callow youth to his vigorous old age and the man is versatility incarnate. When he played "Paris" in a brief stint in the original Mission Impossible series he well proved his abilities. He went so much further with time and age.

It is merely at the age you see him now he has finally become able to play "Leonard Nimoy" and relax into it, be welcomed for it. And Leonard Nimoy is Spock. Inseparable.

I meant no matter who plays that part, no matter how well it is reimagined or how well it is cast, no one will ever be "my" Spock but Nimoy. He informed my youth. He shaped my days. It was not young love nor even lust. Spock was the one sane role model of my life when my life had no sanity at all.

He probably saved my life. Nimoy will always be "my" Spock :)
