Seemed like an appropriate night to introduce my son (10) to Star Trek. We watched "Space Seed" (original story of Khan) and then the Wrath of Khan. Nimoy put a lot of nuance into what would have been an easy role to play lazily.
I think he also realized how much of a cultural touchstone the Spock character is in our society, and to his credit he rolled with it instead of trying to distance himself from it.
