  • Am I suffering some kind of confirmation bias, or does Spock spend an unusually large amount of time expressing emotions, for someone who’s supposed to never express emotions?

    EDIT: By way of addressing some of the replies to this post, without replying to them all individually, I just wanted to add this:
    I’m not critiquing the handling of Spock’s character in relation to TOS or movies, Peck’s a great actor and is doing a fine job at interpreting this role.
    The point I’m trying to make is that Spock (and data, T’pol, Tuvok, etc. after him) gets juxtaposed so often, it seems more entertainment-oriented than story-oriented. Like, “wouldn’t it be cool if they had to…”. The classic sitcom trope of putting the awkward person in a public-facing position, with hilarious consequences. It just seems like these hilarious consequences are occurring too often to call it character development.
