So it was, especially when the string NBC asked to remove that character for being “too inhuman”; the director insisted leave it as it was the soul of the series. Some time later his prediction became effective clearly.
The success of the series is already very well known, not only on television but later in the film. But Leonard Nimoy felt his character was totaling future then decided to play hard. wrote a controversial biography called I am not Spock (1977) where, as narrator, dialogues with the character.
