Mr Spock a sex symbol? Is that logical?

Spock, as seen in the most recent Star Trek movie, looks to have been more faithful to Gene Roddenberry’s original vision of the Vulcan science officer than we may have expected.

Gene Roddenberry, who was behind the cult TV show, said he deliberately gave the half-Vulcan character a “slight look of the devil.” “I thought that might be particularly provocative to women,” he added. It was William Shatner’s character, Captain James T. Kirk, who was considered to be the biggest male sex symbol on the Starship Enterprise. But according to Roddenberry, Spock was designed to be the unlikely pin-up of the show.
