ZQ annoys me and I think that, if I'm to be honest, it's as a direct result of comparisons to Leonard Nimoy.
I hate to be one of those fans, and I knew that in Trek they'd have to replace Nimoy eventually, but Quinto is just not a good fit in my opinion. I've tried to keep an open mind about him, I thought maybe he'd grow on me, I mean the other new actors for the other characters were all okay, but Quinto just takes me out of the the thing every time he's in a scene.
That said, him now doing this reboot of In Search Of is just adding salt to the wound. I wish they'd have just made it a new series, then I imagine it would have been easier for me to be fairer to Quinto, to judge the series on its own merits. As it is though I can't help but to compare him to Nimoy again and, of course, as a result find him lacking.
The one place where this is most notable for me is with the narration. Nimoy's voice itself was a phenomenon. It had this sort of meditative quality to it. Quinto on the other hand just sounds like some dude they gave a microphone to. I just can't get over it.
