This is this period of time ten years before the original series, three years after “The Cage,” which was the pilot episode for the original series. And there’s 13 years, essentially, of Spock unexplored, and I just, you know, came in with a lot of, I hope, humility and respect for what had been done and for what had been written down for me.
I approached it with a lot of love and a lot of care.
I spent a lot of time with Nimoy’s performance because it is a part of the prime timeline.
But a lot of the work was done for me in the writing.
