THAT'S too much emotion? Seriously? Any less would not only be boring as hell but a total waste of Zachary Quinto. I think the author of this post would prefer Keanu Reeves as Spock.

I'm sorry, but I am going to have to agree with the author of the post.
Quinto has the voice inflection down, but did you see the way he rushed over to Kirk and Scotty upon making eye contact? Spock has little to no emotion. Yet, Spock was exhibiting concern and/or agitation. Sorry, he doesn't do that. Rather, he just does. The movie still looks good. I will still see it. This, however, is a clear flaw.

Maybe it's cause Spock is still young too? Idk just speculation, perhaps he learns to be even more unemotional in time. Maybe that's what they're kinda goin for. What ya think?

I agree with SirExcalibur. In the other clips that came out, they tell him he's a child of two world's and it's up to him to choose a path. And I read somewhere that is the storyline with him in this movie. Which path he chooses.

Yeah i know hes still young and all..and half human. But he should only show emotion in extreme circumstances..he was clearly royaly pissed off in that clip just because the lads beamed aboard without telling him how! Sorry but thats just not Spock. But then this is a reboot so maybe that IS Spock now.

Anyway, the movie still looks class..i just hope Quinto doesnt take "No emotions" to mean walking about with a puss on and never smiling for the entire movie!

Awwwww i was gonna say SPOCKS young for a joke lol! Since i started watching HEROES from the start, i always thought Sylar would make an Awesome SPOCK! But yeah Rorsch, your right SPOCK should only show emotion in extreme circumstances!! Hopefully this is a one off! ; )

Now i'm not a Star trek nerd by any means, i prefer star wars anyday....having said that, lol....Spock is half vulcan and half human, the emotion he showed after having 2 unknown people board their ship during warp by beaming and being the acting captain was pretty decent. i think it was a sternness and authority thing moreso than a plethora of emotion, refeshing actually

Spock will show emtion a little more when he is younger, partly because he is half human. Because of this he will try to finish the training in Kolinahr when he is older, but will fail. This isn't Pon-Far when his blood is boiling and needs a mate. Just part of being half human. For him u can't have total logic without some emotion. Check out the Star Trek the Motion picture. This he explains towards the end.

Sylar better hope this flick does well. Heroes should be getting cancelled any day now. God, that show sucks huge balls.

It almost seems like Spock and Kirk are enemys here but in the original series they were best friends and hardly ever argued. I guess it is possible that they started out as enemys then when Kirk proves himself Spock starts to respect him a little more. Right now Kirk is a punk but I think he becomes a leader because of what transpires in this film.

I agree with Rorschach01. The show of emotion is a mistake.
It's probably no accident, though. They probably did it because it supports some plot point.
It looks like they are trying to make Spock out to be more like T'pol which is all wrong.
T'pol acts like Spock up until a certain point, but when it comes to relationships it doesn't take much bring about what can only be explained as being bizarre emotional episodes.
The whole concept of a Vulcan is that of an alien race that has abandoned emotions through thousands of generations socialized cradle to grave practice and discipline to the point that it has become a naturalized inherent racial trait. It would be unlikely that the average Vulcan would ever actually FEEL anything emotional in their lives. I alwasy thought it was so damn stupid that they had T'pol being emotional since she is even 100% Vulcan

Wrong- Spock is half human. Vulcans aren't completely emotionless- they have learned to control them (that is why the males go crazy during mating and kill each other). That is part of Spock's story- he shows more emotion than Vulcans think is proper.

Spock - 4/10/2009, 11:37 AM
Denvel is right bout the emotions, but I would point out that Pon-far does drive them crazy for mating purposes but doesn't always end up in killing each other.

Still i thought ENTERPRISE was the best TREK show out of all of 'em, i wont say better than the original show or you lot will beat me up lol! But im looking forward to this, looks like gonna be alot of ACTION, that's kinda why ive always loved STAR WARS so much more! Less talking more fighting heh heh! An also STAR WARS is much cooler! (Characters aliens ships etc). Still havn't heard much from the live action tv show? Dang : ( anyway can't wait for STAR TREK!

Darkcrow I am getting a tattoo of the silver sufer kneeling down holding his board, but while kneeling hes doing that famous thinking pose with his hand on his chin, and his board in his other hand...amazing i know!

Star Trek wise, i think spok should point his finger at them and rip their head open for disopeying lol

Rorschach, here's the situation dude...from my understanding Vulcans DO feel emotion but learn to supress them. The movie is revealing how difficult that is, especially for Spock who is not only HALF HUMAN, but surrounded by OTHER humans. He has showed emotion in other instances (like when he realized the DID NOT actually kill Kirk in that combat ceremony on Vulcan). This is giving us insight into his life BEFORE TOS. I think subsequent to that moment (and I'm gathering this from footage from the second trailer out this year) Kirk antagonizes Spock to the point he attacks him which I'm thinking is to prove that Spock IS influenced by emotion. Y'know that scene I'm talking about where Kirk asks "Are you affraid or aren't you?" and Spock replies with "I will not allow YOU to lecture ME." Then Kirk says "Then why don't you stop me?"

Kirk usurps Spock I think, and when he sits in the captain's chair, Sulu is seen on the side pointing to him with a look on his face like "who the hell does this guy think he is?" Anyway, there's also another scene where Spoke is holding Uhura. I like that they're showing Spock as a man in conflict with both parts of his nature.

Ok, look i take on board all of these points which are completely valid and true...yes he is half human, yes he is young, yes this is an origin story.

But, he is agitated from the first time he sets eyes on these dudes..hes pissed off almost immediately! Thats not a Vulcan (half human or not) thats trying to surpress his emotions, thats trying to be logical..thats even remotely emotionless..even for a human he comes across pissy and moany!

this is just a clip from an obviously more complex movie and character.all im saying is that in this particular clip, Quinto does not seem to be playing the Spock we all know and love...Im not even saying thats a good or bad thing..Im just saying, if they wanted a scene where Spock is agitated, they should have built it up..this scene looks like he was born angry!

Anyway, i still think the movie looks great and im probably judging it out of context..But (young immature, first mission, rebooted..whatever!)..in this particular clip i just dont think Quinto does justice to Spock..at least the Spock i know. Lets hope im proved wrong

Rorshach, I am totally in your corner on this one. Spock was all about logic in TOS. Spock demanding answers in that manner was out of character. Part of the reason the franchise was so successful was because Spock seemed to be in absolute control over himself.
Like you, I reserve judgement on the film until I see the whole. Most of the trailers and clips I've seen are very encouraging. This one, a little bit of a let down of my expectations of what I'd like to see in the green-blooded SOB character. One minor disagreement; Quinto, IMO, does him justice in voice inflection and mannerisms, with almost pinpoint accuracy. The insistence of having a Spock with attitude probably came from the otherside of the camera, and not so much Quinto's delivery. It was either the way the scene was written, or the way the director envisined it. Or both. Either way, Spock never let humans get to him. With only some exceptional exceptions.

i'm up there with sirexcalibur. it seems pretty obvious that kirk is toying with this emotional 'outburst' of spok's right there in scene. if his emotionless was such a factor in the franchise, that's possibly exactly why they would pay attention to him developing that.
Ant4190
Ant4190 - 4/11/2009, 8:14 AM
and @rorschach01 the only one, or one of the few to acknowledge that this is out of context, thank you

it's possible he already knows about them coming from the array of screens and information in front of him, or maybe beaming up someone he doesn't kno, on top of being in warp speed was already the topic of conversation? or he got some spacetaco on his shirt and couldn't get it out for hours and scotty had to come shit on his shitty day, who knows.

anything could've 'riled' him up, unseemingly of course, and this just tipped him over, considering he's still battling to suppress emotion in his storyline

it's illogical for you to beam aboard this ship son.

"anything could've 'riled' him up, unseemingly of course, and this just tipped him over, considering he's still battling to suppress emotion in his storyline"

Thats my point, nothing should be "riling" him up. He prided himself on being a Vulcan all the time. THat they don't do that. As though it is a genetic trait. Stoic people have stoic kids. If he hadn't had that mastered at this point as an officer of Starfleet, he has some serious issues that other Vulcans would have frowned upon. But that wasn't the case on Vulcan in the TOS continuity. They considered him almost as a god.
