I take it for granted that everyone grew up watching the original series. Glad that IFC is showing it (and Batman) now.

I didn't realize Spock's dad also played the Romulan commander.
The late, great Mark Lenard was brilliant as the Romulan commander in Balance of Terror. Partly for budget reasons (they already had ears made for him, ), but also because they really enjoyed working with him, they had him back for Journey to Babel. Because of the games they could play with the aging of Vulcans (and Romulans) - space elves, after all - Lenard (Sarek) was only about 6 1/2 years older than Nimoy (Spock).
Ultimately, he played Sarek in the films and TNG.
Which of course, reminds me of the joke Nimoy tended to use with Shatner - "Yeah, but you're A LOT older than I am." (Shatner born 4 DAYS before Nimoy, and in Canada, no less, )
