No disrespect to Zachary Quinto, who is an amazing actor in his own right. But whenever I think of Spock, only Nimoy comes to mind.
Nimoy isn't Spock. Spock is Nimoy.
And lizard beats spock.
As I recall, nothing beats Spock. But it has been a while since I played rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock.
Scissors cuts paper.
Paper covers rock.
Rock crushes lizard.
Lizard poisons Spock.
Spock smashes scissors.
Scissors decapitates lizard.
Lizard eats paper.
Paper disproves Spock.
Spock vaporizes rock.
Rock crushes scissors.
I hear this comment.

Radiation beats Spock.
What about pon far?
Kif! Search them for paper. And...bring me a rock.
Ethan Peck. Agree! A shame he never got to act opposite Nimoy like Quinto did.
I don't even really like Disco but Ethan Peck is a great Spock. Thankful that they put him in Strange New Worlds too.
I don't hate it, but I also strongly dislike Trek that doesn't follow the episodic formula, meaning I can't drop in anywhere and have an enjoyable experience. I disliked Picard for the same reason. SNW is much more planet-of-the-week, which I greatly prefer.

It was bad enough when cliff hangers spanned a few months; now they span a period closer to a year.
I mean, come on. I'm getting old and yeah, I'd like to see the next episode before I die.
Quinto has the disadvantage that the movies he played Spock in were shit overall.
(The first two, at least. Like most people I never saw the third one.)
I actually also quite like Ethan Peck's Spock. Wonderfully cast. But of course Nimoy is still the best.
