"Kirk sat back, just enough so that he could watch Spock's face, flushed with a small beads of sweat on his upper lip."
This is a line from Hafital's "Burnt Sugar," and until now I would have disagreed with it. I would have said, when Spock sweats, it shows first on his chin. Anyone can see it in the original 79 episodes.
But.
That's how Leonard Nimoy sweats. How does Zach Quinto sweat? Do either of these actors' pores have anything to do with how Spock sweats? After all, these actors were hired to portray, to represent something that is outside of them. To cast shadows on a wall... We may know Nimoy or Quinto, but it's not exactly the same as knowing Spock.
