    Wasn’t Spock originally supposed to be an android, but they changed him to space elf because of budget?

    I could be making this up. I feel like that’s something I read though.

    That would explain the no lying thing.

      I’m not sure about android but he was supposed to be Martian and have red skin. However there were a lot of complaints about ‘devil’ comparisons.

        I was mixing things up, it was phase II that was supposed to have the Android.

      IIRC, it was the Vulcan science officer in Star Trek: Phase II that they originally wanted to be an android.
