1. I voted four, but...

Spock understood love. His logical, unemotional training did not allow it, but he was half human, raised by a human mother. He KNEW love, and possessed love, and could give love. It was the struggle, between his logical, stern father side and his emotional, loving mother side that made the character fascinating.

We all must find balance. I believe our capacity for love and logic can coexist. That is why we are Progressives.

2. My dear HypnoToad!

I love your sig pic!

Star Trek was one of the TV shows that me and my husband watched back in the middle 1960's.....

We loved it......And Spock was one of my favs......

The picture is entirely appropriate, IMHO......It's a keeper!

3. It would be cooler with the Spock with a goatee.

The one from "Mirror, Mirror".

(kill me now, I'm a ST:TOS geek!)

by the evil version in TNG without any explanation.

Good Riker:

7. Bad acting, bad directing, bad writing...

At least you can say the special effects were state of the art for the time.

13. You are of course welcome to your (wrong) opinions. ;)

As far as I'm concerned, Deep Space 9 was the best series to come out of the Star Trek universe. But then, I tend to be interested in stupid stuff (acting, writing, etc.).

6. I like it.

And it has this whole ironic juxtaposition going on. That makes it kind of intellectual too. ;)

8. It's not offensive

And I think it's perfect that they had Spock pondering the grafitti, since he's the one who would be most likely to really think upon it. The average human would see it and just toss it aside with nary a thought, whereas Spock would actually analyze it as he was wont to do with anything, but particularly things he found "fascinating" or "illogical". And love and mankind, I gather, he found to be both.

12. I think it's great!

Spock's expression and body language in that pic are just perfect.

14. I'm fine with it.

But personally, I'm partial to a slightly different slogan, "TO SERVE MAN."

15. Not offensive, and also

I heard once that the word "man" means human, and that a woman is a specialised man, that is to say, a man with a womb.

Can't comment on the correctness of that, but I'm sure someone will now tell me. :)

16. It's a great sig line

I see no problem that could even begin to make it offensive to anyone. :hi:
