    Spock being "emotional"? You mean something like this?

    Great example could also be Spock realizing that he didn't murder Kirk.

    I only watch him for comedic value and he's a half decent voice actor. Though with his discovery rants I know he's going WAYYY off the deep end.

    I just hope DSC gets better, and not blow it with Spock. But I got a bad feeling about this.

    Well, being emotional is not the problem. Vulcans are an emotional people who feel so strongly their lead culture decided to control it to not cause harm. Remember that Spock could feel a beings emotion, fear and pain via a mind-meld and catalyse it.

    What will be problematic is the story revolving around the shoehorned-into-canon foster sister who appearantly is the sole reason for Spock being Spock as we know it, though naturally has no impact on actual canon as she never existed before. And I think it remains questionable why they go this way. It's so... Unnecessary.

    Canon for something like Star Trek isn't written in stone. It is fluid and will continue to change. If 50 years from now they want to write a story about how T'Pol is Spock's legitimate mother, then it will be canon.
    Or reveal that T'Pol is Archer's cousin. :p Remember the way "Carbon Creek" ended? It turned out that one of T'Pol's ancestors was part of a crew of 3 Vulcan who went to Earth. The episode suggested that none of them left descendants on Earth, but it had the two guys doing assorted jobs and Mestral spent a bit more time interacting with Maggie than the others thought was proper and got left behind when they returned to Vulcan. Did Mestral procreate with any Humans? It's a possibility but not examined in the episode.

    Yes. It would also be really stupid, contrived, self-destructive, insulting, etcetera, etcetera.

    It is extremely difficult for Human/Vulcan Hybrids to exist without advanced medical technology for it to succeed. After all, Humans and Vulcans have completely different blood chemistry with Human blood based on iron and Vulcan blood based on copper. So even if Vulcans tried to procreate with Humans unless the Human had some weird biochemistry or Vulcans used their advanced science, then it wouldn't happen. It is probably easier for a Human and a Chimpanzee to have a Hybrid child since they both have the same biochemistry.

    This would be reasonable - but it's not the way Star Trek treats it. Thanks to the Progenitors, all sapient species in the Galaxy have LEGO genetics, and can interbreed completely accidentally. (Yes, I know it would have been more likely for Amanda to have had a child with an ear of corn than with Sarek - they share an evolutionary history, after all, while Vulcans are completely alien - but that's not Trekgenetics.)



    As for Spock's previously unknown adopted sister, I've pointed out repeatedly - Spock didn't tell his best friend in the entire galaxy who his father was, until Sarek was aboard the Enterprise and Kirk tried to make Spock take shore leave to visit his parents. He nearly died rather than tell his physician about pon farr. If it hadn't been for alien spores, nobody aboard would have known he'd had a serious relationship with a Human girl while he was at the Academy. And then there was his half-brother, of whom nobody knew anything until after Sybok had already seized control of Nimbus III (and, IIRC, the Enterprise - I'm not going to go watch that poorly-written, poorly-directed piece of Star Drek again just to remember the sequence of events). Basically, Spock doesn't tell anyone anything about himself unless he has to.

    I hate to worry you, but you do have the sequence of events correct. ;)

    Also, let's remember Spock's attempt to cover up that lie:

    "No he's not! I know he can't be your brother, because you don't have a brother!"

    "Technically you are correct. I do not have a brother."

    "See? See?!"

    "I have a half-brother."
  • angrytargangrytarg Member Posts: 11,001 Arc User
    Yes, yes correct. I will stop criticizing it, you convinced me. No wait, you didn't xP

    Sybok was dumb, not telling about pon-farr (and nobody else knowing basic biology of Vulcans) was dumb, and Burnham is also dumb.

    Did you mean to quote someone else? Because that has nothing to do with what I wrote. I'm not questioning any canonicity, I'm just pointing out that canon is stupid xD Personally starting with Voyager I dislike the majority of Trek canon. But I don't question it's status.

    There is a very easy way to explain Spock going from an emotional wreck to the extremely logical alien we know that never talks about his adopted sister, Burnham's death that is partially caused by Spock acting emotionally. Spock never talks about Burnham because it hurts too much and Spock always tries to act logically since acting emotionally partially caused her death.

    It doesn't matter if TSfS exists or not. Long distance telepathy is just an extension of their regular telepathy in the same way the Augment blood healing Kirk of the radiation is just an extension of their inbuilt healing factor.

    Like how Seska slept with Cullah and we got Sessen out of that in STO. She didn't even WANT to have Cullah's baby, she'd have much rather had Chakotay's baby. But she wanted to keep Cullah happy, so she did whatever he asked. And apparently he asked nicely....

    The point remains, however, that LEGO Genetics are in full display here. Any two sapient hominids can interbreed, even if they're from opposite sides of the galaxy. No, it doesn't make sense, but then again neither does encoding a holographic recording across several different species and having it still in readable format a billion years later (TNG: "The Chase"), so...

    Genetics, however, tend to drift over the course of billions of years. Heck, they tend to drift over the course of mere millions - there's a reason why the largest remaining dinosaur relatives are ostriches and emus, a mere shadow of their Tyrannosaur ancestors. And that's just on one planet, with a relatively calm star.

    Given that we don't really know how the "seeding" process works, it's possible that the Preservers used relics similar to the Obelisk thingies to guide genetic evolution.
