Spock's character is overexposed?

[plynch]

People misspeak.

Costume department makes mistakes.

No, "Lieutenant Commander Spock" showed up multiple episodes:

"Court Martial" - "Spock, serial number S179-276SP. Service rank, Lieutenant Commander. Position, First officer, science officer. Current assignment, USS Enterprise." [http://www.chakoteya.net/StarTrek/15.htm]
That's a computer, by the way; it's in his official service record.

"The Menagerie, Part I" - "a preliminary hearing on Lieutenant Commander Spock is being convened" [http://www.chakoteya.net/StarTrek/16.htm]

"Tomorrow Is Yesterday" - "Captain Christopher, this is my First Officer, Lieutenant Commander Spock" [http://www.chakoteya.net/StarTrek/21.htm]

Aaand once again ... this thread may be exactly on the mark ...

Suddenly, RED ALERT!!!

 

[DaveyNY]

Shouldn't that be GREEN ALERT!

I’m gonna put my hand up and say Ethan Peck is really hot, so I don’t think it’s possible for his Spock to be overexposed! One complaint: while his hair looks much better and less wig-like than the end of DSC season two and the shorts, his sideburns look rather odd and pencilled in.

 

[shapeshifter]

That isn't the overexposing I was looking for. Complete opposite.

XXXXXXXXX

One, Spock needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Spock's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Spock"? Three--

 

[Mudd]

I think it was noted in The Making of Star Trek that Spock got "promoted" midway through season one of TOS.

"The knees of the many outweigh--" Oh shut up IMC...

She's got that 60s-style metallic cat's-eye eyeshadow thing going on!

 

[seigezunt]

No, gimme all the Spock

Just seen the Pike teaser.

Did anyone notice that for almost all the teaser for each character Spock was in them. it is like he is everyone's best friend or something or has something personal going on with them.

I know Spock is a beloved character but I hope that was just a marketing tool for the show.

I hope Spock does not become the Spike of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe, where the writers felt they had to shove him into everyone's business and make him the star of the show at everyone's expense.

Part of the good will this show has going in is that it will do some character justice like Uhura, Number one, Chapel who were nothing more than side characters in TOS with no storyline.

I sure hope, Spock is just one of the crew member here than THE crew member of the show if you know what I mean.

I agree. I don't mind him being part of the ensemble, but between all the shows and movies, Spock has been done enough. Keep the focus on characters like the Captain, Number One and the doctor, characters we don't know much about.

 

[Mudd]

Nope. Spock's there, Spock's gonna be central.

 

[F. King Daniel]

I cant wait until Spock is left in command of the ship for 5 minutes and fans scream, "GALILEO SEVEN CANON VIOLATION!!!!"

I'm guessing it'll happen by episode three.

Except, he's not a part of the ensemble. It was clear, from Discovery forward, that the grouping would be Pike, Number One and Spock to lead in a new series. Thinking he would not be a focus point is understandable, but definitely not supported by evidence.

I figure episode 1.

 

[Vger23]

Spock is the face of STAR TREK. Why wouldn't he be front and center?

100%

It's like saying Batman is over-exposed. Spock is one of the most iconic and recognizable television characters ever.

 

[Ssosmcin]

Yeah, this series is gonna rock out with its Spock out.

No it's not, and never would be. Hell, Spock was in the Captain's chair of the 1701 bridge, and giving Sulu ship maneuvering orders in the opening teaser for TOS S1 "The Corbomite Maneuver".

He had the conn in "The Man Trap" as well.
