Awww. You made me all teary-eyed at the end. Spock Prime may be at peace but his fate is still a very bittersweet one. It's just so totally unfair that Spock and Kirk were separated at Kirk's death and didn't have longer to live together. And I really resent Uhura taking away attention from the K&S relationship in the new movie. Either of the men developping a meaningful long-term relationship with anyone but each other is so un-canon.

I hear ya! Who was it that Spock was crying about having shameful feelings for in The Naked Time? Who was it that made Spock panic and call out their name when they was caught in a cave in in Devil in the Dark? Who was it that Spock told all about his "thing that no outworlder may know" mating cycle? Who was it that Spock reached out to and held hands with after having the revelation that simple feelings weren't so bad after all? Who was it that Spock spent his final minutes with when he died in Wrath of Khan? Who was it that Sarek came to, expecting to find Spock's katra, and decided that all was lost when it wasn't there? Who was it that Sarek entrusted with the task of retrieving Spock's body and bringing it to Vulcan?
Who is it, that is the most important, most influential person in Spock's life, outside of his parents? Who?

Ummm...is that a trick question? *tongue in cheek*

And you could have added countless others, like "Who was it he endangered the ship to find in The Tholian Web? Whom did Spock almost give his life to protect in The Apple? Who was the only person he allowed to touch him casually at any time, and even reach it to himself, as seen in Changeling, City at the Edge of Forever, Shore Leave, etc ? With who does he share countless meaningful looks with in Corbomite, Miri, And the Children shall lead,...? Whose command woud he follow to the end of the known universe and beyond?

*feels an urge to run home and watch more Star Trek*

At who's side does Spock canonically AND explicitly belong?

Take heed, NuTrek writers!

[marymonroe]

Amen to that :).

Oh, and I can't believe I forgot this one, but WHO'S NAME DID SPOCK REMEMBER WHEN HE COULD BARELY REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING? WHO'S NAME DID SPOCK TRIUMPH IN REMEMBERING?

"Jim. Your name...is Jim."

Best. Line. Evah. Although "Not in front of the Klingons" was great too :-D
