He's every bit as awful as he was 50 years ago and in everything he's done since.
Oh I forgot he was in the best version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, so I saw him in that. Great movie.
That's the one. Classic!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcan_(Star_Trek)Wish he had lived as long as a Vulcan.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcan_(Star_Trek)#cite_note-3There are instances of them living over two hundred and twenty years.[3]
Holy shit. He'd completely given up by then, hadn't he?
Hmm, so you've never seen even ONE episode of TOS?.
No. I've seen gifs and stuff around here, but that's about it.

I thought you supposedly like movies.
Well, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) was great! Sooo many movies after that one directly ripped-off the Khan character with their own villains. In those knock-off movies, the villain usually doesn't have a good reason to act that way toward the protagonist. Kirk and Khan have a history from an episode of the original series. Khan is the way he is because he's a genetically enhanced ("eugenics" was the closest thing to genetics in the '60s show) superhuman with a very good reason to hate Kirk.
Anyway, Star Trek II focuses heavily on the friendship between Kirk and Spock and it's probably the best Star Trek movie.
If you ever do watch an episode of the original series, watch "Space Seed." Then watch Star Trek II.

Yeah, I've always meant to watch all of the films but never got around to it. I think I've seen some of the whale one, but that's about it from the original cast. I saw the Borg one with Picard which I remember liking (was ages ago though) and the first of the two new Abrams ones, which I did not really like that much.
Looks like the Blu-ray set of six films is only $45 right now, so I'll just hop on that. I have zero interest in watching the TV show.

You should at least watch TOS: Space Seed, and ST2: Wrath of Khan. And TOS: The Changeling, to see NOMAD :
Actually, whats wrong with you ?? Just watch all of TOS!!! At least the first two seasons.
Yea, those are good but I would have to throw in "The doomsday machine, Amok time, and Balance of terror" as must-watch. The re-mastering with modern CGI effects makes them even way better IMO.
I don't know guys, it's $120 for the original series; seems steep for something I have no real interest in. I think I'll just stick with the movies. Thanks for the suggestions though.

If you have Amazon Prime you can watch them all there for free.
