When iconic characters must be recast for a new generation, they don't often look identical to their original actors. If every James Bond had the exact same face, that would be a little weird. I, for one, am glad that Timothee Chalamet, Johnny Depp, and Gene Wilder are not perfectly identical. I am, however, so glad that Zachary Quinto was genetically blessed to look so much like Leonard Nimoy. Maybe this is because I haven't watched the entirety of the original Star Trek series, but watching Quinto as Doctor Spock on the big screen during Star Trek Into Darkness felt like it could have been CGI bringing Nimoy back to his younger years; it looked that good. I also am a fan of Ethan Peck, but nothing compared to seeing the first new actor playing Spock after Nimoy's retirement. If you stan Doctor Spock in any of his incarnations, these Star Trek memes might rock your world.
