Great interview...insightful and entertaining!

"Spock-ette", awesome! Nice too see Leonard is living long and prospering.. Great little interview :-)

That was a great interview! I love Nimoy. They were totally flirting with each other too. Go Stacy!

What a pleasure to watch. They had a great rapport going.
Staci Wilson is a pro, and Nimoy is a God.

Superb interview! Sensitive, informative, revealing, not only about the content of the film but the actors motivations and relationship with the each other and their characters. A well rounded, multidimensional web experience. Is it wrong that Nimoy makes me want to be a Spocket?

Love the Interview!

Mr. Nimoy has always been an underrated master of the craft. His directing, writing on the Star Trek films - The Voyage Home in particular, but others as well, the man is a beacon, and he truly shines in this latest installment of STAR TREK.

Leonard Nimoy is THE MAN from Vulcan (so to speak)! I enjoyed the fun, playful, insightful and humble answers he gave to Sci-Fi Wire's flame-haired siren reporter! Excellent job, Spockette Staci!

He's so well-spoken and intelligent! Really awesome interview. You seemed to get him in a realy good mood to talk. ;) and zach is hot.

Long live Leonard Nimoy and Spock!!!!!! He has always been vastly underrated as an actor. I don't think that many actors could play a hero or villein as well as he can. Mr. Nimoy has been totally under used as an actor, I will will say "shame on Hollywood".

Nimoy is a great actor and human being. I can't wait to see what he brings to the role of William Bell whom he will be playing on Fringe this fall.

I met Lenoard Nimoy when I was about 12. He was at Macy's or one of those big stores back in 1973. I can say "I shook his hand". Like a vulcan, the man seems to have aged better than the humans on the show and kept his shape. Happy to see that Nimoy and Shatner are still in the business...as for the movie...fascinating.

The new Spock and the older Spock have to be seen to be believed on-screen. These actors have put a lot of themselves in this movie and my wife and I enjoyed it very much.

Catch Leonard Nimoy in next seasons Fringe. He's only been on a few seconds and he's been terrific so far.

"Spokette!"!!! Love it. This was an enlightening, fun and cozy conversation. More please!

I'm sure that Gene and Majel Barrett Roddenberry would have loved the way ST has evolved. R.I.P.
The Greatest Western series of all time...

How Leonard Nimoy can be anywhere close to accepting of this screw up of the timeline for Star Trek which makes most of the 40 years of Star Trek history impossible to happen now is beyond me. I find it insulting that they were allowed to do this without resetting it.

I used to have tremendous respect for Mr. Nimoy, including when he rightly criticized Star Trek: Voyager, but it's just laziness to not look into the brilliance of DS9, and I'm so disappointed that he's betrayed any alleged principles he clung to when criticizing Trek.

This new film -- like all J.J. Abrams and Orci and Kurtzman and even Lindeloff's work -- is so superficial and contrived. Any "heart" is so formulaic that it feels disingenuous. These writers are too obsessed with being cool than getting at any ugly or uncomfortable truths about humanity. That's what Ira Behr and company did with groundbreaking wonder on DS9 and that's what's totally absent from this film.

It was bad enough that Star Trek had long betrayed Roddenberry's vision of social commentary that challenged contemporary conventions; this is to say that Voyager and Enterprise and the Next Gen films and even the original cast films stopped challenging those facts about society that had long been accepted after the '60s and ceased to be worth mentioning, such as overt racism, as opposed to subtle or systemic discrimination; Star Trek was content to keep harping on about issues that the mainstream accepted, but failed to push the boundaries and explore issues that were just as important and controversial as overt racism was in the '60s, such as terrorism, identity politics, freedom vs. security; only Ira Behr managed to do that on DS9. However, this new incarnation doesn't even try to even make those modest, non-DS9 Star Trek attempts at political insight, let alone DS9's insightful work.

This is drivel and superficially and rather incompetently executed drivel at that. The action scenes from a dramatically powerful show like Star Trek: Deep Space Nine or the new Battlestar Galactica were far more effective than this nonsense.

Everything is so melodramatic and the dialogue is just terrible and embarrassing. Nimoy's Spock lacks any real intelligence and is only capable of uttering nostalgia punchlines -- much like most of the younger characters. Everything is so forced. As I long expected, Abrams and company are more into "cool" and commercial marketability than art.

I see Nimoy is too busy getting a paycheck and egocentrically obsessed with getting back to the old Star Trek crew and being in the limelight than actually caring about the fact that this is the kind of escapist garbage that only serves to dumb down the culture, rather than lift it up and educate the mind. Pathetic.

Long live Ira Steven Behr's vision of Star Trek and for having the integrity to not kiss butt to Abrams and company like nearly everyone else associated with Trek! He and I knew better.

And another thing. Star Trek: the Motion Picture at least had the guts to take the characters to new places. Kirk is insecure and busy trying to humiliate Decker and Spock movingly sympathizes with the "villain" of the film, Vger. Just because it wasn't successful doesn't make it bad and the Director's Cut is perhaps the best Trek film, except for cutting out Kirk's irritability.

Quite a difference from the new film that relies on cliche and movie and TV show formula and encourages (without any sense of irony or moral ambiguity or human frailty) vengeance and cockiness and killing of "the other". What a petty piece of work this is. This isn't Star Trek -- not to me.

I quite enjoyed this interview and I loved the new movie. I like to look at it from a Doctor Who point of view: history wasn't rewritten, an ulternate/ parallel universe was created. The timeline we all know and love is still in tact but now we have this new timeline to experiment with. It's just like the episode "Mirror, Mirror" from season 2 where they go to an ulternate reality. I really don't understand what the problem is because there really isn't one...

Leonard Nimoy is Cool.

Stacy, thanks for putting this on FaceBook, I might have thought that was the end of your Star Trek stuff. Will SCI FI be doing DVD coverage, too? It's good they keep covering this phemoninal movie. I love it and Nimoy is god.

I would like to point out to those who think Leonard Nimoy just did this for a paycheck - Majel Barrett Roddenberry also endorsed this film. She's even doing the computer voice once more. Did she just do it for a paycheck as well?

I feel sorry Leonard Nimoy having to see the Star Trek universe ruined like this. I hope they don't release any more failures like this with the same cast/crew. JJ has no idea what he is doing.

@Milady Dragon --- you are a bit slow

Barrett-Roddenberry died on December 18, 2008, at her home in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, California as a result of complications from leukemia. She was 76 years of age.[1]

I am all excited about this latest revival of the ST legacy. Anyone that doesn't agree with the whole production, wouldn't agree no matter how good it was. It is entertainment, and fans love the genre, not the specifics. We have all been waiting for the next "spin-off", episode, or what-have-you; that continues the imagination of a world full of shiny rockets or weird looking aliens. Roddenberry started a visual dream, and the continued thirst of we the followers has made for a wonderful conglomeration of stories, that transcends all tales of the future. I, for one, can’t wait until I get to see this newest future classic for myself, as I have waited for each and every one sci-fi movie or TV show, ever since I began listening to the science fiction radio shows, before I ever saw a TV. If these complainers of the insignificant details, could have grown up with “X minus 1” or “Lights-Out” as their only exposure to strange and wonderful worlds of the future, then they might enjoy just watching what the imagination of others can dream up to entertain us with.

LostMK, I think it is you who are a bit slow. It has been widely reported that Majel did the computer voice for this film before her passing. Doesn't mean she endorsed the film, which was not completed until after she died, but she did participate.

I'm glad I am not the only one who didn't "drink the Kool-Aid" for this movie. Muldfeld hit if fair and square with his comments. This is just another in a long line of vapid, FX heavy summer blockbusters, and I was extremely disappointed. Currently there is a poll at IMDb.com asking fans which other franchise J.J. should reboot. I voted for the "not a fan of reboots" option, and even though I am a pacifist I think I would consider doing someone in Hollywood serious damage if J.J. is allowed anywhere near Serenity.

What a great interview. Instead of focusing on the flash and glitz of the new movie, it gave me some real insight into the actors themselves.

Leonard Nimoy continues to impress with his graciousness and dignity. I'm a lifelong Star Trek fan and I think this new film did the impossible...it didn't piss off MOST of the hardcore fans, while bringing Star Trek to a new Generation. While it didn't have the social commentary of the series, it did keep the spirit of a future where humanity has moved past societal prejudices based on of race/gender/nationality/socio-economic background. I've met so many people who are checking out the original series, because of the new film. And that's my dream. To have people who weren't fortunate enough to know the original series, go back and see it. The Star Trek franchise will live long and prosper...in any incarnation. And hopefully, now that the new world has been established, the series will be focus on the grand themes of the original.

The new film is a delight. It brings back the sense of fun and wonder of the original series. It is focused on the interplay between the central characters and has the warmth and sense of humor that made STTOS such a joy to watch. Star Trek was always about a close-knit family of characters having adventures together.
Unfortunately, the humor and fun has been AWOL from Trek for far too long.
To the new Star Trek I say: Live Long and Prosper!

Milady Dragon, Majel Barrett Roddenberry never criticized the other incarnations of Trek, so I don't blame her at all. Her character was also so much better on DS9 with her relationship to Odo, so I'm very grateful that she did that. The point is the Nimoy hasn't been able to state specifically why this new Trek is in any way superior than Star Trek: Voyager, which I also despised. The Abrams incarnation is just a bit better at making it even more commercial and at providing more shock and awe and action. However, Nimoy contends that this is superior in terms of "heart" and I don't see how that's true at all. That's why I think he's full of it. On non-action superficial terms, there's no difference at all. In fact, this new incarnation is a bit sexist because Uhura essentially plays Kate from "Lost" in worrying about some guy, rather than having her defined by something more substantial; still it's more than the original Uhura got, I suppose.

In terms of humor, DS9 was absolutely the best, especially the Ferengi episodes. Although occasionally over the top, they were far more original and interesting than J.J.'s silly work. Even those rare moments between Odo and Quark and O'Brien and Bashir in a standard serious episode were delightfully hilarious.

Face it, folks, DS9 had everything the critics wanted and more; even the action was better. They were just too prejudiced and lazy to watch it.

ghosty191,

I am of a generation that read the tales and listen to the last days of Radio dramas on network radio.

And I am sorry that you have a mind so bereft of imagination that you actually claim that the images on screen best the ones that these tales constructed in your mind.

I can assure that for my generation even the images of the current incarnation pale next to the ones our minds can conjure up. We always took it as a fate acompli that the fx would be something less than we'd imagined. That's why ToS worked so well for us - with that as a given, we concentrated on the story and how well it was told. The FX never mattered for a tv show as we could fill in the FX blanks ourselves with the suggestions and hints provided.

Look, I understand each work of art has to deal with the limitations of the materials chosen with which to construct it but I just found your suggestion that radio drama suffers from the lack of images appalling.

It may be worth some note that Mr. Nimoy is, himself, responsible for the production of much quality modern radio theater for public radio.

Awesome interview! I just saw this film last night on IMAX. *Great* time. Seeing this interview makes me want to head out and see it again!

I enjoyed the Leonard Nimoy interview,and I loved the new film as well.

The transparent overkill of "alternative reality" allows me to dismiss this "ST" variation as acceptable to the newer fans. I would have been happier if the initial timeline disruption would have causes NONE of the older characters to even be involved in Starfleet... then I could accept it better as even possibly somewhat valid. There are many statements that I agree with on this posting, primarily from Muldfield, Son of Maui Portagee, ecgordon, and others. Since they have so eloquently stated their concerns (and I agree with them) I will identify some others.

I do not agree with much of the positive excitement. There are many things that even an "alternative reality" cannot correct. Such as the extra-dimentional space they call an engineering room...the frame of the vessel is essentially the same size, yet internally it appears to be a 4-story mall built from an erector set? Water for engine coolant? Not especially helpful for plamsa drives built on anti-matter (fire hose to put out the sun equivalent). The only use that was for was to have a comedic moment with Scotty and Kirk.

Plot line issues? Well, Spock still achieves Kolinar like the old version, goes to Starfleet and becomes a Commander; an exceptionally high rank for someone so young. He then lectures Kirk on reprogramming the Kobyashi Maru scenario (which was pathetically treated like a joke, not ingenuity) and lecturing Kirk on ethical and professional standards of Starfleet and cadets...all the while having a relationship with Urhura! One his students! Logical? Ethical? Professional? Hello, anyone bothering to bypass the cool special effects for a story? and lecturing Kirk on ethical and professional standards of Starfleet and cadets...all the while having a relationship with Urhura! One his students! Logical? Ethical? Professional? Hello, anyone bothering to bypass the cool special effects for a story?

Maybe it would have been logical for Spock to, once presented with an ability to go back in time at the end of the movie, to attempt to save Vulcan, or correct the timeline once he was informed? Maybe risk his future to save his mother...especially since this Spock was more emotional? They literally threw out or ignored every single piece of older Star Trek cultural, or societal lore for whatever fit into their movie plans.

No, I don't think that this is what Star Trek represents. It's like being happy with a cool sports car, then driving it and realizing it barely runs. It will work for those so starved for something new in Trek, no matter how shallow. But to me, the characters are the story, and the environment the setting. The cool thing about Roddenberry is he educated as well as entertained. All the great Sci Fi really does. When we lessen that, we cheapen ourselves. My humanity comes at a higher price tag than this can offer.

Though apprehensive when I heard rumors that ST-0 was going to be a "reboot" of the saga and that time travel would be involved, I could only think "Oh God..." they're going to use some cheesy sci-fi cop out in order to retell the saga and explain why the original characters got together differently than they had in the original series. But they pulled it off. I enjoyed the new movie and think the new group will make StarTrek their own inside of a very few more movies. I hate to criticise but Muldfeld needs to lighten up. It's just a d*** Sci fi flick, not Bill Shakespere.

I agree with Muldfeld, DS9 was a very good show with interesting characters. do believe however they when too fa with the Bajoran and Klingon religion stuff. I would be neat if they would include a Christian character into main stream Sci-Fi. (An not make him/her a zealous nut case)

look at that, a senseless rant no one will read. Muldfeld is at it again

This has turned into an endless debate and neither side will win. There are always going to be those who love it and those who hate it (like the pre-trilogy in Star Wars. Some hate it and say it will never live up to the trilogy and some love it as a back story to why Vader became a sith). I love it, want to see it at least once more in theaters and am going to buy it when it's released on dvd. I have a friend who hates it, regrets ever seeing it and will never buy it. That's just the way it works.

One thing I will agree with Jeromulus on is the whole Spock Uhura relationship. At first I was 120% against it and thought it was a bad move. But, since this is an alternate reality from the one we grew up with, I will accept it. In the timeline we know, nothing tested Spock's emotions to make him want to persue his human side. Sure, he had a few obstacles in the series but nothing as drastic as his mother dying in front of him or his planet being destroyed, and he definately didn't have Serek telling him that he married a human because he loved her...

Hmm. Many interesting comments. While it's true that people probably won't all agree about this film, I want to put in my two cents anyway. I do love Mr.Nimoy , but I have to say that I felt a bit betrayed after seeing the movie. I feel confusion as to how Nimoy would want to endorse this alternate timeline in which Spock's homeland is completely destroyed, along with the entire series in which he was a prime player. Though I get the concept that they are creating a new timeline to play with, which gives them essentially no holds barred to do whatever they want (and basically endless ways to butcher the entire Trek franchise into whatever they want it to look like), I find the whole thing insulting and I wouldn't be surprised if we found Roddenberry rolling over in his grave. Yes, they might be able to do some compelling things with the content of this new incarnation if they had managed to write a story with any depth. I actually thought that most of the actors did a great job of recreating the characters, but they had hardly anything in the story or the plot to really sink there acting chops in to. More action and flash than anything meaningful. With a good story, and one that was more consistent with the original timeline (because to me, that would just be showing the original the basic respect that it deserves, as well as showing basic respect to its millions of fans) a new version of Star Trek with new special effects could have been really cool, as in more than flashy, but as a film that leaves an indelible impression on the mind and heart, as well as being aesthetically impressive and beautiful. Like the Star Wars prequels whose basic premise, the back story of Vader, was very compelling and interesting, the movies were simply executed poorly, despite the cast of usually-superb actors it boasted. (Fan edits are the only way I've found to be able to tolerate them). I'm afraid that this movie may be even worse. I mean, what was up with the green girl Kirk was trying to get with? Was that really any less ridiculous than Jar Jar Binks? I would have loved to have loved this movie, but in my opinion, Abrams and Co made that pretty impossible. Maybe in the real future someone will be able to do this franchise some real justice.

Is it possible to agree with both sides on this issue? Both sides have legitimate points, but neither side take in to account that our generation who grew up with STTOS was not the intended target audience for this incantation of ST. This movie is intended to hook a new audience that thrive on action, adventure, and most of all the FX behind so many of today's SciFi films and series. This is not to say that this actor or that actor or director for that mater are "sell outs", rather it is only a continual evolution of the craft that is in truth only entertainment. Even in Shakespeare's time the plays actors and audiences watched, that many today consider classic art, were just mere entertainment in his day and time. By the same token this incantation of the ST genre is just entertainment for a newer generation. It was never truly intended for the entrenched old-guard ST fans. Just as in the Fantasy book world, the Seeker TV series was never intended for fans of The Sword of Truth volumes. One could view the evolution of music in much the same light. For those of my generation today's heavy metal sounds just like someone screaming in a mike, but for many of today's youth it is true musical art. In truth it is just a matter of one's viewpoint and age in life as to what one considers entertaining. Every generational era has it's defining issues. In the 50's it was the birth of rock and roll. In the 60's it was "make love not war" and the true birth of the civil rights movement. Today it is economic chaos and terrorism that are likely to define the current era. As in any era or with any generation it is entertainment that provides either an escape from the problems we all have to deal with every day or a window into the realities that affect our lives and out future. STTOS was a blending of both forms of entertainment, but was entertainment nonetheless. With all this said my 2 cents for whatever it is worth is that this movie is just that, a movie, so for those on either side of the issue either love it or hate it, just don't obsess over it. There are just too many really important issues in our world today that really deserves this kind of thought and debate.

Muldfeld, I really enjoyed your interview. It was very insightful: http://www.theonion.com/content/video/trekkies_bash_new_star_trek_film .

My fellow Trekkies, as a lover of all things Trek (well, MOST things) and an avid fan of Gene Roddenberry's vision of a brighter future on a show that addressed controversial issues most others were afraid to touch, I say this: chill the EFF out.

Seriously, the number one complaint I'm reading is that they're not following the preestablished timeline. Do you REALLY want them to carbon copy what has come before so you can hop on these forums and bash them for not getting it quite right? The whole point of the alternate reality was setting the movies up to be free of the preexisting timeline, to both truly go where Star Trek hasn't gone and not disrespect what came before by attempting to mimic it. It was a way of saying "what Roddenberry did was awesome, and we can't hope to compare to the original cast. So don't try."

Boohoo, Vulcan blew up. How can you not see the dramatic, sociological potential of this? The vaunted Vulcan society is no more. They are now transients with no home to call theirs. Spock now has to confront his human side as he hadn't before.

I am optimistic for Star Trek's future, because its past remains untouched. Enjoy the ride.

I agree with Peeps, why try to re-do what was already done because it is obvious that those like Muddy will never like it no matter what? They have freed themselves up to do a whole NEW Star Trek, and they did it masterfully by setting up a new time-line, sheer genius. Social commentary? They had to get established before they could start addressing the big issues. Frankly, I never could watch DS9, the characters were all pretty much idiots and unlikable, the series unbelievably dull and completely predictable. I could guess the ending of every episode whithin the first five-minutes, yuk!! THAT IS NOT SOCIAL COMMENTARY, it's just bad entertainment. Give me this new ST anytime!!! Loved it!

My dislike for the movie has less to do with the alternate timeline creating inconsistencies of plot and character motivation with the original series and movies, and more about the fact that it is a poorly written, vapid, effects laden film with little logic in the plot and character actions. It's like cotton candy, it looks great and that first taste is terrific, but there is no substance to it. It's just a movie, and I can accept that others will like something that I don't, but that doesn't mean I understand that opposite reaction.

Bravo Staci! This was definitely one for the history books. I think you should have donned some green skin for the interview though.;)

Seen the new movie it was good I liked the timeline deal also liked the timeline story in Startrek Enterprise
series...

I eagerly awaited the new movie. I didn't try to find out ahead of time about the movie. When the final credits rolled I felt like an old friend had been murdered. Everything I had watched for years was gone. I am sad that my trek is dead.

Well said Peeps. I watched STTOS when it was NEW. We now have a new universe to explore, if we are brave enough. To bash this new incarnation is akin to telling Galileo the Earth is flat and is not the center of the universe.

PeepsMcJuggs said, "Boohoo, Vulcan blew up."

Actually, more like it imploded as it was consumed by an artificial black hole.

Much like the plot. Once they introduced the idea of a multiverse the odds that Nero Prime and Spock prime would each enter the black hole at different times and yet hit the LOTTO win of emerging in the exact same alternate timeline but only 25 years apart were astronomical. Not to mention that Nero further caused the alternate timeline in which he emerged to diverge into an alternate alternate timeline when he destroyed the Kelvin. It should have been darn near impossible for Spock Prime to emerge in Nero Prime's altered timeline.

When a Trek writer dips in the inkwell of time it demands the writing be sharper.

@ecgordon
Completely Agree

@Muldfeld
Thank you for beautifully enumerating, and pointing out all that I wanted to say about the movie. I feel its a good action movie, just please don't call it Star Trek. It makes a far better Star Wars movie, than say Star Wars ep 1 or 2.

jeeves,

Count me in.

I'll even go so far as to acknowledge that it is a part of Trek like ToS' ASSIGNMENT:EARTH.

And while I might thoroughly enjoy a tv series or movie depicting the adventures of Gary 7 and Roberta Lincoln, there's no way I'd ever make the mistake of labelling it STAR TREK.

The movie currently wearing the insignia's writing crew did master the characterizations and dialogue, they just didn't construct a tale that should be allowed to pass for authentic ST at this time.

Its science was rendered so incompetently as to be magic and that element does appear to render it more an authentic STAR WARS story/plot than anything else.

Can this trilogy-to-come be salvaged as Trek? Possibly. But they've got to turn the plot elements and story outline over to a real well-honed science-fiction writer. Keep the current writers around to polish the Enterprise crew's interaction and dialog with each other. And they need a D.C. Fontana type to keep it all authentic with a certain degree of logic and actual caring for it - as opposed to wistfully longing for it to be a franchise that it's not.

Love Nimoy! Loved it! HE and that chick had good chemistry... do the guests always flirt with her? maybe coz she's half his age (or less- hwo old is he now?) and cute. Nimoy is good on radio dramas too.

ST the new one sucked big time!!! JJ Abrams is lame as director and too gimmicky!! Long live L Nimoy...may he live long-ER and prosper!!

Who cares?

The interview was okay, she was hot, Nimoy was being himself.

I'm an old school Trek fan and have seen the cartoon version, movie version, tv version, comic book releases, magazines, online stories, etc. Have read the books. It's all about entertainment! Who are you people to criticize? If you can make a better movie why aren't you? Oh yeah, you're not in the movie business, just a couch potato, drinking lattes at starbucks, who loves to blog here on the internet using big words, and love to read what you typed.

Newer fans of Star Trek are here now, the old has passed its prime, let the new generation enjoy this new series. After all, that is life, it moves on, it becomes something else, it appears to "evolve". I've already tuned-out the so called "critics" on here because they seem "intelligent" but never enjoy life-the way it really is. You want a better rendering of the series then get off your couch, quit blogging, and do something about it!

Other than that, it was a great movie, I'd love to see it in IMAX.

The movie was Great! My only exception was the death of Spock's mother and the destruction of Vulcan. As a Trekkie, I really hope the next movie puts these back on course with the original Star Trek. I can't see that that would be difficult. So many Novels and original stories were based on both. The interview was excellent, and I look forward to the next movie..

@Muldfeld: Uhura plays Kate from Lost?! Um, what movie did you see?! Kate is written liek a whiny self-obsessed bimbo who can't ever decide who she wants and keeps going back and forth between two men, and as a result, doesn't seem like she loves either. I must have missed the part where Uhura was even for a moment torn between two men or unsure who she wanted? Uhura knows 100% what she wants and what she doesn't want, and who she wants, and is very determined and energetic about it, while also being caring. She is the very opposite of Kate.

To everyone who keeps going on about Nimoy "doing it for the paycheck". Oh please. Don't be ridiculous. You may hate the movie as much as you like, but you can't deny the fact that Leonard Nimoy LOVES it. As if he's desperate for money - come on. Why did he refuse to do the cameo in Generations, if it's all about the money? He has been gushing about this movie more than anyone else..Did they pay him to do that, too? You are saying that this is just an act, too? How much did they pay him to come up with all those superlatives about the movie, its plot, script, Abrams, Zachary Quinto, the other actors, the role of Spock in this movie, Zach's scenes, his own scenes, Spock/Uhura romance, and so on, in every possible interview and press conference? The man clearly loves it, if you don't see it you're just delusional and desperate to have Leonard Nimoy validate your own opinions and your own taste.

Terrific interview! As usual Stacy gets the most out of her subjects. It always entertaining... I also loved the interviews with Wes Craven and Stuart Gordon. Keep Up the Good Work...

This is such a great movie, I saw it twice! The twist of events for the "original" storyline was interesting and leaves it open for more stories. Was neat to see how the characters came to be on the Enterprise. Love the new Spock too, fascinating! See the movie and decide for yourself, don't worry about what others think of it.
