I love the dualism of the Vulcans, that they developed their philosophy of rational logic not because of a genetic predisposition to it, but because they have such violently passionate emotions that indulging them would be destructive.<br /><br />Star Trek is great for paradoxes like that.<br /><br />Check out my entry at kelworthfiles.wordpress.com (Stupid openID credential verifier.)Chris K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03723737530377732786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1602348400700279205.post-39663039723418632422013-01-21T17:56:56.254-05:002013-01-21T17:56:56.254-05:00Spock is an icon.Spock is an icon.Alex J.

I can say that with the arrival of the new film I really understand what you are saying about the internal conflict of Spock. I really like him as a character and love that I got to read more about him through your pick. So thank you and live long and prosper.<br /><br />Teresa<br />http://www.fangirlnextdoor.com<br />http://www.comehomedisney.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634972435029339913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1602348400700279205.post-34953711584486407602013-01-21T08:00:32.327-05:002013-01-21T08:00:32.327-05:00Spock sits on my computer desk and reminds me ever...Spock sits on my computer desk and reminds me everyday... we can achieve anything.Jeremy [Retro]https://www.blogger.com/profile/09912258155288958827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1602348400700279205.post-36399505967686607242013-01-21T04:54:38.623-05:002013-01-21T04:54:38.623-05:00Saying hello from the blogfest.
