Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
The mentions of Mr Spock in The Face of the Enemy, Lonely, Ophidius, The Empty Child and The Nemonite Invasion treat him as a fictional character (as do, implicitly, other references to Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation in Doctor Who stories). Assimilation² treats him as a "real" individual in an alternate dimension. This is similar to the treatment of Doctor Who in COMIC: TV Action! and COMIC: The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who.
Assimilation² depicts Spock with the likeness of actor Leonard Nimoy, who originally portrayed him in Star Trek. Leonard Nimoy was seriously considered to direct the 1996 TV movie, as recounted in the book, The Nth Doctor.
J. K. Woodward, who worked on the Star Trek crossover Assimilation², released pieces featuring Spock, gleaning the image of a jelly baby in a mind meld with the Fourth Doctor, assimilated by the Borg, in the midst of a cyber-conversion matching that of Craig Owens in Closing Time, facing a Gorn with the Eleventh Doctor, and within the "coral" TARDIS control room.
