Don’t You Guys Find It Weird That Spock Prime actually Is the Spock From The Original Series? 

Don’t you guys find it weird that Spock Prime actually is the Spock from the Original Series? 

 "I am not our father, Spock.“

 "Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving…”

“I have been and always shall be your friend… I am Spock”

I mean. He was talking to his character’s legit AU self.

Leonard Nimoy had adventures with William Shatner and now he’s in this other universe where Zach is playing as his character and Zach and Chris are all new to this Star Trek experience but he’s been in this for years now so friendship through acting man and

When Chris Pine said “You know, coming back in time, changing history… that’s cheating” do you think he ever reminisce all those years of acting in The Original Series when he said “A trick I learned from an old friend”

Or maybe he was thinking of all the times he spent onscreen and offscreen with Will when he said 

“I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together, of a friendship that will define you both in ways you cannot yet realize.”

I mean that’s amazing, the whole interaction between Classic Trek Spock and AOS Crew, especially with Scott, Jim, and Spock. It makes it feel almost a little real. I don’t think I’d have liked the new movie at all if Spock Prime was acted by someone else.
