As you probably know, Spock — Leonard Nimoy — died this week. Now, the man perhaps most associated with him, William Shatner, aka Captain Kirk, is answering questions about his friend on Twitter.
“Which of the original #Star Trek movies was his personal favorite,” Twitter user @GeekToMeRadio asked Shatner. In his typical sharp wit, Kirk responded, “I would imagine the one he directed.”

Another fan asked what was Nimoy’s most admirable quality. To which Shatner answered, in all earnestness, “His compassion and dedication.”
