Why else kill Spock? How about because *Nimoy requested it* ???

It seems to me that some people are afraid of change. Characters should
grow, change, die. STAR TREK is not just the Enterprise; it's not just
Spock; it's a combination of many different elements and greater than the
sum of its parts. If STAR TREK cannot "survive" without Spock or the
Enterprise, than it doesn't deserve to exist in the first place. If Harve
Bennett made any mistake, it was not telling Nimoy, "Sorry, Leonard, too
late now," when Nimoy decided he enjoyed playing Spock so much in TWOK
that they should figure out some way of bringing Spock back.
