Beyond Spock

Sighting

From the adventures of an autograph collector:

I had heard terrible things about him all around. He was unfriendly, he was a bad signer, blah blah blah. So I was prepared for the worst. I expected him to shoot me down. While he didnt put his arms out to hug me & embrace my presence at his hotel, Mr. Nimoy was willing to accomodate my quick autograph request before he was rushed away into an awaiting production vehicle.

I was plaeased to see that all the things I had been told seem to be either fabricated or outright wrong. Of course, we'll see if hes still as accomodating when he sees me for a 2nd or 3rd time.

Miscellaneous

Ben Stiller told the audience at the Oscar's that he owns a pair of Spock's ears signed by Leonard Nimoy.

The producers of the Big Bang Theory would love to have Mr. Nimoy do a guest appearance on their show. More here at EW.com and Trek Movie.

Fringe was renewed for a third season, but will Mr. Nimoy be part of it? Airlock Alpha thinks so. Let's hope their enthusiasm isn't premature.

For the last couple months, "Fringe" fans have been asking the question on whether or not their series will survive the current year and earn itself a third season.

That question has now been answered and Fox has committed to a whole third season of J.J. Abrams' bizarre and weird scientific drama ... and there will be plenty more parallel universe antics and visits from Leonard Nimoy to keep fans glued to their screens.

Interviews

One more Star Trek movie interview from last year. In this Mr. Nimoy is asked, among other things, what conceptual difference Paramount throwing money at Trek made.

Nimoy: Yeah, that too, yeah. No question about it. Look, when you're on a smaller budget, you tend to stay on certain scenes longer, you tend to stay on dialogue scenes longer with the actors. You tend to stay in less sets. This picture has more sets, more action, larger [more] ships, larger experiences, larger adventures, because the appetite of the filmmakers is larger and they were given a larger budget to do it with. I think it's a wonderful movie. ... It's a very exciting film. ...

Voices

Anna Torv, FBI Agent Olivia Dunham on Fringe, talked to Digital Spy about her hopes that Leonard Nimoy would return to the series:

Any chance of Leonard Nimoy returning at a later date?

"I hope so, I really do. He's just such a beautiful man. He's extremely graceful and gracious. There's a presence about him that would be there whether he was Leonard Nimoy or just a man! He's got a gorgeous essense to him."
