"two Spocks one cup?"

That just sounds (all kinds of) wrong.

I heard about this, and I'm psyched to have this legend be in STO.

Leonard Nimoy is the man. Well, him and George Takei.

I'm not sure I like the idea of the guy who played the malevolent and incredibly creepy Sylar narrating Star Trek. Oh well, hopefully the open beta will show what Cryptic has done for the game, although judging from the gameplay videos, it seems even less complex than Bridge Commander.

Did you even see the new Star Trek Movie? Zachary Quinto completely nailed the role as young Spock. I wasn't a fan of his Sylar character either, but he's shown that he can adapt to a variety of roles very well.

Could be a joke at chris grants expense. He mixed up leonardo da Vinci and dicaprio. Chris probably thinks Leonard nimoy was leonardo.

Good to know your CFO doesn't mind you reading gaming blogs on the job at least.

My friend wrote a song "about" Leonard Nimoy a while back and it's actually pretty cool:

New Spock: Check
Old Spock: Check

Now all we need is Mirror Spock and his fly evil goatee.

After you double post, don't post again. Unless you want downvotes.

I will as soon as after you make sure when someone apologizes...rather then point out the mistake they are already aware of...you just say "Cool man, no worries."


...do you like being condescending?

Oh yup...you do.

Anyone that has read the posts on the Star Trek Online site about where the game's timeline is on the main timeline for the 'Cannon' Star Trek universe, would know that the Game is set 30 years after the 'Nemesis' movie. And that the destruction of the Romulan homeworld that sends 'old Spock' into the past of the 'new' timeline (caused by said time travel by him and Nero) means that 'old Spock' no longer is present in the Star Trek Online's universe. Any appearance of him in STO would have to be caused by a dimension rift with the 'new' timeline allowing him BACK to the 'old' timeline. (Time Travel makes one's brain hurt. Adding in multiple dimensions makes it hurt WORSE.)

Also, that same timeline explanation means that 'new Spock' is not available in the STO universe without a similar dimensional rift.

That's not to say that such a rift CAN'T happen. After all, there are plenty of parallel universe versions of Spock that could show up (Mirror Mirror Spock, for example) that Mr Nimoy or Mr Quinto could voice. And there's always plenty of Time Plots to blame for almost any possibility.

So, despite my pointing out the nature of STO's timeline... it doesn't mean it CAN'T happen, just that without the use of a 'Time' or 'Parallel Dimension' plot, Spock (in whatever appearance) isn't present to appear. Oh... there is another possibility: Perhaps Star Fleet liked the EMH program so much that they made a ESH (Emergency Science Officer Hologram) for when captains prefer their computers interact in a more 'physical manifestation' form... or you could have Q show up, choosing to LOOK like Mr Spock... or... (the list goes on)

I'm pretty sure they are simply both their for the fun of it. They already said that Zach will be playing someone else and Leonard Nimoy is only doing the intro.

Though an old Mirror Spock would be interesting, they never addressed exactly what happened to him in any of those Mirror DS9 episodes.
