Adam clearly lacked the perspective required to contain the story, which lurches into all sorts of odd and personal digressions, but as a celebration of the original 1966-'69 series this is first-rate.

Whatever its flaws, "For the Love of Spock" mostly works for those with an interest in the man or a love of the series. And if the director was perhaps too close to the subject, that, too, has a certain logic to it.

The countless devoted fans of Nimoy and his character virtually guarantee that For the Love of Spock will live long and prosper.

Gives fans an unprecedented glimpse of the thinking that went between the iconic prosthetic ears.
