"The acid test for us was at the point of his death," said Gordon Weaver, Paramount senior vice president for worldwide marketing. "The audience sat there totally silent; some were crying." "It left you hanging at the end of the movie, whether Spock dies or not," Koehler said. "That was his voice you heard at the end."
