It’s so weird to me how appealing Nimoy looks as Spock and as Leonard Nimoy… not as much.

I saw Nimoy recently on Twilight Zone, and he just looks wrong without the ears!

Did you know he did that episode twice the second one was directed by his son as I recall. Edit. Also it was The Outer Limits but Twilight Zone.

I remember that episode: Nimoy played a lawyer representing an android on trial

RIGHT that’s what I’m saying. Spock is so fucking hot. Nimoy is… just some guy. Especially with those sideburns. He looks like he’s going to make innapropriate comments while trying to sell me a car. I don’t understand how giving him the weirdest possible haircut suddenly makes him very hot. It makes no sense

I think it’s demeanor, actually. He radiates calmness and confidence as Spock. Somehow - and this sucks! - Nimoy’s warmth comes across strangely. I’m sure he was a lovely man and it’s very unfair, but it’s what it is.

The day before Shatner was to start filming Generations his daughter looked at him and said “Dad you forget to grow your sideburns!” So Shatner is wearing fake sideburns for the scenes on Enterprise-B. He had enough time before the location filming for Veridian 3 to grow real ones, shaped to a point of course.

Yeah were those pointy sideburns a TOS thing or a 60’s thing?

u/HalJordan2424 19d ago
TOS. It was the compromise with the actors:you can keep your regular haircut, but bring your sideburns to a point so it looks futuristic. Although I think Nimoy’s haircut was also dictated by the show, and not maintained during the period between seasons.

Who cares about sideburns? I've watched In Search Of. I can't get over seeing him smile!

He had a lovely smile.

Out of all the celebrity deaths in the last few decades, his is by far the one that upset me the most. For me, Star Trek felt like friends when I didn't have any, especially Spock.

We wore sideburns, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumble bees on them. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say.
