Could Uhura be Spock's future wife?

[Dukhat]

Thete is evidence that it’s Spock, because we’ve met him. There is NO evidence it’s anyone else.

So if I had a brother that you had never met or even knew about, and my dad said to you, "My son just got married," you'd automatically assume it was me because you never met my brother? Well, of course you would, if you didn't know my brother existed. But that doesn't change the fact that he does exist.

For decades, we never knew that Spock had a half-brother. Now we're just learning that he had a foster human sister. So there seems to be more possibilities than just a flat denial that it couldn't be anyone but Spock.

 

[Greg Cox]

In the prime timeline, Spock and Uhura weren't even remotely interested in each other. .

I don't know. She was brazenly flirting with him in "Mantrap": "Tell me about the moons on your world, Mister Spock." And then there was their impromptu jam session in "Charlie X."

Anyone watching the first part of the first season of TOS could be forgiven for thinking that Spock/Uhura was going to be a thing. But, yeah, then the show kinda dropped the idea like a hot potato.

Maybe Sarek adopted another human kid.

So if I had a brother that you had never met or even knew about, and my dad said to you, "My son just got married," you'd automatically assume it was me because you never met my brother?

But this is fiction not real life. When it comes to fiction, only what is showed or at least hinted in the text is canon so yeah, unless someone says that Sarek has another son beside Spock, said son doesn't exist. The writers have to create him.
Sarek isn't a real living being who can get out of his fictional reality and tell us 'you know, it is never showed but I actually have a son, 3 daughters, 2 dogs and four cats'.

The irony of your argument is that you are saying that in a thread where you are also adamant that Spock and Uhura couldn't possibly end up together in tos or be interested in each other just because they didn't show them being a couple there (only some hints of attraction and tptb saying that it was the original plan), and yet you want to dispute Spock being the son Picard was referring to on the basis of you thinking that Sarek had another son in spite of never seeing him and never getting any hint of his existence.

I don't think tos Spock and Uhura were together, but using your logic about Sarek's imaginary son never mentioned in canon, one could assume a lot of things happened to the characters that we just didn't see on screen.
And frankly, the idea many fans had that Spock and Uhura were at least attracted to each other (including Nichols herself) in tos too is less baseless than your 'Sarek has another son we never heard about' theory.

The idea of them being together or interested also isn't more baseless than spock/saavik or scotty/uhura (like, how? At least she actually flirted with Spock)
If you just dislike the idea of Spock falling in love (thus him possibly deciding to marry someone out of love), then it's another matter and a different opinion than you disputing whether or not he was the son of Sarek whose wedding Picard went to. Using your logic, it wouldn't matter anyway because even if he weren't that son, nothing says that Spock couldn't have found someone in prime trek too, eventually, and thus have a private life you just don't know about..

I don't like the idea of him marrying Saavik because he really was like a father figure to her

More like teacher/student.

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

I'd like to think so.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I don't see Spock/Saavik as unusual or creepy in any sense.

Both are adults, and Spock is not the type who would exploit anyone whom he is teaching or mentoring (nor is Saavik likely to allow herself to be exploited). They are both perfectly capable of having a romance entirely unaffected by their professional relationship.

 

[Malaika]

More like teacher/student.

Yeah, but it wasn't like kelvin Spock and Uhura where he was her mentor too but they did fall in love thank to that connection and spending time together, and didn't have much age difference between them.

I just don't think Spock and Saavik were ever presented as the kind of mentor/protégé dynamic that would evolve into a romance. That's probably why Nimoy dropped the pregnancy storyline and they also denied she had sex with his young self in the novelization (if I remember well they explain she helped him with meditation). I don't think Nimoy was against the idea of Spock having a kid and a relationship, but the creepy factor in that particular situation isn't easy to ignore nor the best foundation for a romance.

 

[Greg Cox]

If anyone's interested, the novel where Spock and Saavik get married is "Vulcan's Heart" by Susan Shwartz and Josepha Sherman.

 

[The Old Mixer]

In the same episode that mentions Picard having attended the wedding of Sarek's son, there is circumstantial evidence that he was indeed referring to Spock.

Perrin...Amanda...I wanted to give you so much more. I wanted to show you such...tenderness. But that is not our way. Spock...Amanda...did you know...? Perrin, can you know...how...much I...love you? I...do...love you!

Sarek's lifetime of suppressed emotions laid bare, and no other loved ones are mentioned.

As to who Spock might have married...it was decades after the TOS films, so it very well could have been somebody we didn't meet.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Oh I think Spock would be a much better more open than Sarek. He's no Herbert after all. Of course it just now came to me he could have also married Doctor Chappell.

Jason

Dave Chappelle?

I get that. But we're talking about evidence that Spock has another brother or half-brother, and there is evidence for this with the simple fact that twice now, we've found out that Spock has semi-siblings decades after the fact. So it stands to reason that he might have more, especially now that the implication is that Spock is secretive about these people, as opposed to simply knowing 100% that he has no brothers or sisters at all, either blood-related or adopted.

 

[Discofan]

We know Spock will someday get married from the ep "Sarek" on TNG but we don't know who. does anyone kind of like the idea that our Spock and our Uhura also eventually fell in love and got married? Of course part me also likes the idea of that person being Savvik and also another twisted part who wants it to be Burnham.


Jason

With Burnham? That's step-incest.

 

[Jayson1]

It's okay as long as they are hook up in the Southern part of Vulcan.

Exactly right. It appears thay Sarek was quite the playa

 

[uniderth]

Is there even any indication that Spock and Uhura ever had a thing?

Not the prime versions, no.

I don't think they get married. I think it worked for his youth in the Kelvin timeline but will not work when he's older and certainly won't work for Uhura. She is a lively, lively woman and she doesn't need to marry a Vulcan. Amanda was very refined and seemed to enjoy being very .. collected. You couldn't picture Amanda doing a strip dance with the moon behind her to distract the bad guys.

There is an excellent fanfiction series (oh hail wildcat7898) where the canon movies are the background for the S/U relationship. In the dancing scene, Kirk's response to seeing Uhura is 'Spock is one lucky bastard'. Yep its absolutely plausible for S/U to have a relationship in any timeline and no Uhura does not need to marry a Vulcan, she does not need to marry anyone. (Which human in the 23rd or 24th century would get married out of need?). Anyway in the series they split up for ten years, but get back together and are happily married until her death at 110 years old. Then decades later Spock remarries another Vulcan female and its this wedding the TNG Picard attends. (Great series, shame its not canon).

In the prime timeline, Spock and Uhura weren't even remotely interested in each other. So I doubt they would have gotten married.

In TOS period Kirk did not have a son....until he did, McCoy did not have a daughter until he did, and Sulu did not have a daughter until he did. The writers were free to create any relationship they wanted for the characters at any time in their lives.

With Burnham? That's step-incest.

Burnham considers Spock a brother but she was never formally adopted, even Sarek tells her they are not related or you are not my daughter or something like that (that guy needs empathy badly).

Back to S/U, I like to think they got together after TUC, but would Uhura wait until she was over 130 odd to get married to Spock in the TNG era, unless its for tax reasons lol

 

[Greg Cox]

The Original Series seems to have flirted with the idea early on, but never went there.

Considering they made their only black/white, male/female 'romantic' scene a faked, forced one it was never going to happen.

 

[Stibbons]

In "Of Gods and Men" Uhura marries Stonn of all people. Can't quite see it myself unless Stonn had had a major revision of his lifestyle choices (also in Diane Duane's "Spock's World" novel he's actually dead from trying to live up to Spock's legend).
