That would be, um, Ambassador Spock....lol
Well, Lynda, maybe you better not see the flick.  Spock is fully capable
of emotional and physical responses due to anger.  I don't know the
actor's name but he was 'spock' on...lol...he was great!  I think Gene
Roddenberry would be so proud of this film.  Gene pushed the
boundaries in race relations, not just with the casting and story lines
of Uhura, but with Spock's bi-species ancestry, which is highlighted,
developed, and modernizes the story for the new generation of
bi-whatevers(yes, there are already people out there who claim to be
half alien, but again,the lessons are there for bi-racial teens and
adults, in a fun, "green eggs and ham" kind of way-you will only get
that joke if you saw the movie!)  I also greatly liked the character
development for Uhura. Actually, the character development in general
was really the heart of the movie.  The special effects were icing on
the cake.
