Balance of Terror

No, it's apocryphal, meaning it carries less weight. You can look at authorial intent but thsts the extent of it.

 

I do understand the concept. I guess I concede it.

It's just that it makes sense to me that a good deal of medical intervention was necessary outside of the womb as well as within it in order for Spock to exist. Of course, some people buy the idea that Saavik was pregnant with Spock's baby (or Zarabeth had a baby with Spock per A.C. Crispin's two books) with Spock's baby when they left her on Vulcan, where others would say that it wouldn't be possible, since Spock was a hybrid, for him to have a baby with anybody with or without medical intervention unless that intervention occurred earlier in his life.

 

So is Spock an Augment?

 

I don't even know. What is an augment? I'm just going by the audio interview between Roddenberry and "Sarek."

 

Genetically engineered, like Khan (made into a superman), or Julian Bashir (illegally genetically altered to fix developmental issues as a child)

 

Have you heard the interview? I don't think he's either of those.

 

It's nice to know the 1976 LP Inside Star Trek is "extremely rare." But I guess to some fans, it's a new discovery.
