Star Trek’s Most Iconic Hero Almost Murdered The President

While we would honestly have loved to see Paramount bring such a bonkers idea to life, it’s ultimately for the best that we never got a Star Trek movie where Spock had to shoot JFK in the head. For one thing, it’s weird to think that Klingons would travel back in time and end up saving an important person’s life rather than just causing mass destruction. For another, we don’t think we could ever look at the Vulcan whose catchphrase is “live long and prosper” the same way again if he became such a cold-blooded killer.

As Spock might say, Paramount killing Gene Roddenberry’s idea was only logical, even if the idea itself is admittedly fascinating.
