Spock remains one of Star Trek's most enduring fixtures, and with Nimoy passing in 2015, other actors have continued the tradition. Ethan Peck took on the part in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, with Zachary Quinto playing Spock in the Kelvinverse trilogy of movies. As with the likes of James Bond and Count Dracula, the character now belongs to multiple actors. And while Nimoy will always be first among equals, the other two have both stepped up to reveal sides of Spock that no one else could.

Audiences were stunned at the end of Episode 2 when Thomas Miller was brutally murdered, but his death wasn't just for shock value. Miller was introduced during Jack Ryan's ambitious third season and his return in Season 4 served to connect the two seasons in more ways than one. It allowed the series to explore the ripple effect of what he did in Season 3, and made very clear that Season 4 was unafraid to go to some dark places.

To this day, many still call her the worst character in the entire Buffy universe, second perhaps only to Connor from Angel. But while it is hard to see around the tragedy of losing Tara (Amber Benson), a closer look at Willow's character arc over the seven seasons of Buffy reveals that Kennedy was actually the perfect person for her to end up with and a partner who reflected Willow's ultimate character growth.
