Wow I never knew this
What’s especially important to remember is that, before he became the cuddly grandpa of the fandom, Nimoy was typically described as ‘uptight’ and ‘humorless’ in those early days. I guess if you want do the right thing, you need to be willing to be a wet blanket.
Let me put it in more modern terms. There’s a lot of things going around these days with Spock’s face on them I’d never have seen twenty years ago. They’d tried. Mr. Nimoy complained - nicely, but he could grouse with the best of them - and if they didn’t take it down, he sued. Nicely, correctly but Mr. Nimoy just didn’t play. He never got nasty, but he did get *just* enough in your face to make it unpleasant to try it again. And never in a way he couldn’t accept if he was wrong. Backbone out of titanium, that one.
