T'Pring was a missed opportunity

[locutus101]

Spock didn't claim it was an absolute.
He said "After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."

Kor

He didn't say "Sometimes having is ..." Or "Maybe having is.." He just said "having is...." without restricting it in any way. What he qualified is the possibility of the other guy finding out about it. His final "often true" is a semantic aberration. It would be like saying "Two plus two equals four' and "it is often true".

Or

A) I am telling the truth

B) A is often true.

 

[Kor]

Um, okay.

Kor

 

[locutus101]

Um, okay.

Kor

At least it's the way I understand it.

 

[Timewalker]

I never said it was one.

Then why did you feel the need to point out that if Kirk won the Challenge, that would mean Spock was dead? Don't you think I understand that?

It is possible to have Star Trek stories that don't include Spock, y'know...

I've always liked that apt insight Spock stated.

Almost all TNG stories don't include Spock.

 

[Kor]

Almost all TNG stories don't include Spock.

And they suffer greatly for it.

Kor

 

[locutus101]

And they suffer greatly for it.

Kor

You can feel their pain...

 

[Timewalker]

Almost all TNG stories don't include Spock.

It should have been obvious that I was referring to TOS stories.

 

[locutus101]

It should have been obvious that I was referring to TOS stories.

It should also have been obvious that I am joshing you.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Just because she would guest appear would not require Spock or a romance. She could have appeared for any number of reasons.

I suppose so but her appearance would have more impact with Spock there.

True. Maybe she's a desperate housewife, again wanting what she don't have.

 

[Timewalker]

She could have, but what would be the point, if there were no references to Spock? Their failed marriage ceremony is the only context the audience has for her.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

A chance to see what she does for a living, maybe?

 

[locutus101]

True. Maybe she's a desperate housewife, again wanting what she don't have.

What did she do to her husband?

 

[Spock's Barber]

What did she do to her husband?

Maybe she changed her thoughts from "...and so I would have Stonn." to "Stonn is gone."

 

[locutus101]

Maybe she changed her thoughts from "...and so I would have Stonn." to "Stonn is gone."

Quite possible.

Look, freely translated from Vulcan,

"After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."

basically just means, "Have fun being married to the bitchface, douchebag."

 

[Spock's Barber]

Look, freely translated from Vulcan,

basically just means, "Have fun being married to the bitchface, douchebag."

...and Spock was thinking "Dang! I came THIS close to getting married to that woman! I can wait another 7 years before going through this again!"
