[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 69 points 2 years ago (4 children) No disrespect to Zachary Quinto, who is an amazing actor in his own right. But whenever I think of Spock, only Nimoy comes to mind. Nimoy isn't Spock. Spock is Nimoy. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] TurnItOff_OnAgain@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (2 children) And lizard beats spock. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] DoctorWhookah@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (3 children) As I recall, nothing beats Spock. But it has been a while since I played rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] TurnItOff_OnAgain@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children) Scissors cuts paper. Paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors decapitates lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes rock. Rock crushes scissors. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] DoctorWhookah@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago I hear this comment. permalink fedilink source parent [+] aniki@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kepabar@startrek.website 1 point 2 years ago https://youtu.be/x5Q6-wMx-K8?si=ZTOinmKo0MvxRmw3 permalink fedilink source parent [–] Moriarty@startrek.website 1 point 2 years ago What about pon far? permalink fedilink source parent [–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Radiation beats Spock. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago Kif!
