Despite the myth that Vulcans cannot lie, many Vulcans throughout Star Trek have lied for a myriad of different reasons. Spock himself lies quite often on Star Trek: The Original Series, often getting involved in complicated schemes with Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) that require some kind of deceit.
Spock explicitly tells the Klingon captain that Vulcans cannot lie, and is thereby lying (SNW: "The Broken Circle"). Spock is lying all the time when he is fully human and still pretends to be Vulcan, making up all kinds of excuses for deferring the ritual with T'Pring and for his unusual look and behavior.
Spock was a character who was written to be wrong about most things when he claimed probability or logic as a reason. There were many, many occasions when Mr. Spock estimated the probability of success of a course of action that Captain Kirk had proposed as minuscule. Spock gave tiny odds of success.
Spock “got his emotions back” several times in ST:TOS. In the episode, The Naked Time, the crew was infected by a virus that caused intense emotions. We saw Spock crying because he'd never told his mother he loved her.
As Spock explained to Kirk in Star Trek: TOS, his union with T'Pring was "less than a marriage but more than a bethrothal." Indeed, Spock was meant to finally undergo the koon-ut-kal-if-fee marriage ritual with T'Pring in "Amok Time" before she invoked her right to have Spock fight to the death for her.
During The Search for Spock, Saavik (Robin Curtis) mated with Spock to keep him from dying during the Pon Farr he experienced while rapidly aging on the Genesis Planet. The film only implied that the two had been intimate, but there were plans for Saavik to be pregnant with Spock's baby in subsequent movies.
Spock quickly perishes, and, with his final breaths, says to Kirk, “Don't grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh . . .” Kirk finishes for him, “The needs of the few.” Spock replies, “Or the one.”
Spock Died in Every Version of the Star Trek II Script
The filming of the first movie was a disaster, and so Nimoy wanted no more to do with Spock or Star Trek. Jack B. Sowards wrote his first draft for Wrath of Khan with Spock in the story -- and killed him at the end of the first act.
The elder Spock died off-screen on New Vulcan on January 2, 2263. Ambassador Spock was 161 when he died in the Kelvin timeline, although his final death chronologically happened 12 years before his original Prime timeline death in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Sadly, Spock died without ever siring an heir, and in Star Trek canon, neither Kirk nor Spock got to have descendants to carry on their adventures and save the galaxy.
After being encouraged to use his anger to battle the vicious Gorn, Spock unleashes a palpable rage as he goes after the dangerous hatchlings. Spock states earlier in the episode that "without proper mindfulness, Vulcan emotion is dangerous," and that becomes clear when he releases his fury.
This article contains spoilers for Star Trek: Defiant #4 It's hard to think of a Star Trek character smarter than Spock, as being intelligent to the point of near omniscience is why he was so valuable on the USS Enterprise, and currently on the technically stolen ship, the Defiant.
Galef highlights Spock's weakness in understanding the illogical nature of human behavior and his failure to adapt his approach despite repeated mistakes. Spock's inability to learn from interactions with non-Vulcans exposes a fundamental blind spot in his logical framework.
McCoy from Star Trek hate Spock so much? He didn't hate Spock - he cared for him deeply. Indeed, their complicated relationship was one of the most endearing subtexts of the entire series, one that was explored in several episodes as well as movies that followed.
The sequel, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984), focuses on his crewmates' quest to recover Spock's body, learning upon arrival that he has been resurrected by the Genesis matrix after landing on the planet at the end of the previous film.
Surprisingly, though, there's evidence the role of Spock was originally offered to Oscar award-winning actor Martin Landau instead. In a 1986 interview with Starlog, Landau, who had since become associated with Gerry Anderson's Space: 1999, recalled being offered the role, only to turn it down.
Spock on Star Trek, was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressive illness often linked to smoking. He died at his home on February 27 at the age of 83. He was one of the roughly 15 million Americans diagnosed with the disorder.
Nimoy stated that after "The Naked Time", in which a disease causes Spock to cry, "I knew that we were not playing a man with no emotions, but a man who had great pride, who had learned to control his emotions and who would deny that he knew what emotions were. In a way, he was more human than anyone else on the ship."
Shatner explained that the iconic character was curious, courageous, and filled with awe and wonder, leaving the actor to regret not hitting the right note when he uttered Kirk's last words, 'Oh my,' at the point of his demise.
Khan : [quoting from Melville's Moby Dick] To the last, I will grapple with thee... from Hell's heart, I stab at thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!
Uhura's first name was not used in Star Trek canon until Abrams's 2009 film. The mystery regarding Uhura's first name is the subject of a running joke in the film, as Captain Kirk repeatedly tries to find out what it is, before finally hearing Spock call her "Nyota" in a moment of intimacy.
No canonical children have been mentioned for Spock. Drafts of the scripts for Star Treks III and IV hinted that the rejuvenated Spock impregnated Saavik during his accelerated Pon Farr, but this was not referenced in the script as filmed.
Star Trek: The Original Series writer David Gerrold, has also spoken about K/S slash sometimes. In 1985, Gerrold commented: One of the truths I've been telling lately is that Kirk and Spock are not lovers ... they're not even boyfriends. They're just good friends.
