It was interesting listening to him talk about how he approached being a Vulcan and how much he fought to change scripts to keep Spock from becoming… this.
Indeed. I believe that's how the Vulcan neckpinch came into being. I believe Nimoy complained that Spock was supposed to knock out an enemy with a blow to the head and how primitive that was and was a waste of opportunity to give the audience more knowledge on Vulcans. And the scene was changed to Spock using intellect over brawn to disable his enemy.
There was a time when actors seemed to care about the characters they portrayed. Meanwhile Patrick Stewart doesn't and never will understand Jean Luc Picard and why fans love the character.
as much as Patrick Stewart doesn't care about the characters and would rather just do Shakespeare plays, he was at least professional when acting the roles he was given
