Every character in every permutation of the Star Trek franchise 鈥� from Kirk to Picard to the guy from Quantum Leap 鈥� eventually winds up in some sort of temporal anomaly. But does anyone do it with more grace and aplomb than the Enterprise's pointy-eared science officer? Memorably, Spock joined the rest of the crew in jetting back to 1986 in Star Trek IV, where he learns the joys of expressing himself with "colorful metaphors."
In the 2009 reboot, a Stoic and kindly Spock, played by Leonard Nimoy, travels 129 years into the past, where he meets to his younger self, played by Zachary Quinto. "I would say 'live long and prosper,'" Nimoy's character says, "but that would seem self-serving."
