Nimoy is a fine actor. I find, however, that the character he was given had some pretty huge problems. His main character traits seem to be that he is emotionless and stoic at all times. That just doesn't create a character than interests me very much. He (Nimoy) was fantastic in the new movie tho. Maybe I just haven't seen enough of the original series to appreciate it, but it's never really been a series that interested me that much. I liked TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES and thought the first movie with Shatner and Nimoy was great. I haven't found that many other episodes that I've liked too much though.
