Also, it is an actor's method that does two things: 1) it signals the audience to listen, so that the first part of the sentence is not lost due to a side conversation or a mental distraction and 2) it stretches out the actor's screen time in a medium in which a second counts.

The other actors complained about William Shatner speaking in choppy sentences for the same effect. "Spock. This is. A replica. Of Earth. Circa 1930.
