Star Trek week: Spock

Actors Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy have brought the stoic Vulcan, Mr. Spock, to life in their own unique ways. Quinto has held the mantle since 2009's "Star Trek" film while Nimoy made the character famous in the original television series and numerous feature films. Nimoy even appeared as an elder Spock in the 2009 "Trek" before he passed away in 2015.

The character is most known for acting on logic rather than emotion, a Vulcan trait, as well as his leadership and battle skills. So for the Vulcan in all of us, here's a look at some Spock goodies.
