i saw one of your posts about spock being jewish, and a thought occurred to me: what do you think his hebrew name is?
suspected-spinozist Answer:
I just spent about half and hour trying to track down Leonard Nimoy’s Hebrew name, which was Yehuda Lev. And I think it works well for Spock. The tribe of Yehuda, anglicized Judah, is of course the origin of the word “Jew,” and Lev is Hebrew for heart. Two things I think Amanda, raising a child on Vulcan, very far from her family and their traditions, would want him to remember.
GOOD
"I think if I played the same character without any growth or change or definition, it would be boring.-
When I look at some of that stuff today, that Spock was very, very different. He is a character who claims to know exactly who he is, but he really struggles.
I was inside of this character who claims he has no emotions. ‘I have no emotions.’ There was a very emotional turmoil going on. It shows Vulcan philosophy because there was a kind of serenity in it for him and a way of setting himself aside. Spock is the supposedly alien character, but in a way he is the most human character in the group because he has all these human problems…"

Forever ago someone asked for Amanda cooking together with the baby Spock. I don’t remember who it was. @sofluffygonnadieeee works inspired me so much and I finally decided to give it a try.
