Bad Spock Drawings
Just when you thought all possible commentary—earnest or ironic—had been made about "Star Trek," someone beams up another take on the currently dormant sci-fi franchise. It's not logical, but this repository of artistic tributes to the contained-yet-charismatic Mr. Spock does nicely as a late-entry homage. Vulcan purists may chafe at Creepy Child Spock, Bauhaus Spock, or two-headed real universe/mirror universe Spock, but Nimoy knows, "Trek" can use the attention. And though we're accustomed to seeing the half-human, half-alien Starfleet officer in any number of daring or dignified positions, Chimp Spock, Ballerina Spock, and the Spocktopus take us where no fan has gone before. Even if words often fail in describing certain representations, we can still say: "Bad Spock Drawings," live long and prosper.
