The article was originally published on TrekMovie.com in 2014, and is titled “A Look to the Star Child.” The article discusses the original series of the late ’70s.

Few icons in the world of science fiction can rise to the level of Leonard Nimoy. The first man to ever play Spock in a Star Trek property became a megastar during his time with Star Trek. He, alongside William Shatner, helped set the franchise up for years if not decades to come. Yet, it wasn’t just his acting and his ability to bring Spock to life that may define his career.

Here is saving the sets of Nimo, Star, and Enterprise. In other words, they are all working together to safeguard an entire movie franchise

In a 2014 article from TrekMovie.com’s article, Walter Koening, who played Pavel Chekov in the original series, was recognized Nimproved uponed for their work on the Animated that Nimoy deserved more pay for his role, and so did Nichols (Uhura) and Takei (Sulu). TrekMovie.com later discovered that not only was Koening underpaid, but both Nichols and Takei were also overlooked for the animated series

“There was also the case where George and Nichelle we’re not hired to do their voices in the animated series . I refused to do Spock until they were hired. Mr. Roddenberry started calling me the conscience of Star Trek.”

To be honest, it might appear exaggerated to some, but to me, it feels like Nimoy rescued Star Trek. If Nichols and Sulu hadn’t been part of the animated series from the early 70s, along with Koening’s low wages, there was a real possibility that the films wouldn’t have been made at all, or not in the way we’ve come to know them

This leads us to a significant hypothetical scenario. If Nimoy’s statement held true, we would be in a universe where Nimoy, Nichols, Takei, and Koenig had already parted ways with Star Trek, long before the films even began

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but wonder if Star Trek might eventually become as nostalgic as Battlestar Galactica or “V.” If it weren’t for the unforgettable Spock, who knows what twists and turns this epic journey would have taken instead?
