Why won't Spock shave and put on a starfleet uniform?

I bet a good number of the guys complaining about Spock's beard probably have beards themselves. And of those, a good number probably might even have more hair on their face than on the top of their head.

The real question is why didn't Spock in all those Episodes and movies ever talk about once having a beard! Seems like a canon violation to me!

"Hi, I'm Paul, and you may not know this now, but I used to have a goatee. Amazing right?"

That's probably why.
 
Maybe in the last Episode of the season, Peck-Spock will shave and gut his hair, and we will see Nimoy-Spock for a short moment. Maybe by using old material from "The Cage", or "Rogue One"-like CGI-Nimoy-Spock face on Peck or someone else.
 
How could he be on leave, as he seems to be working as a visiting officer on another ship?
He requested leave from his Commanding Officer (Pike) while on board the Enterprise.
I don't know about anybody else (besides perhaps Zar and his "Special Editions"), but I haven't heard Pike officially welcome Spock back from his leave yet.
And as I said, nobody from Star Fleet has indicated that he is officially assigned to the Discovery.
He hasn't been doing anything on board as an officer, other than helping out with different problems in different departments that have cropped up.
 
:wtf:

I want the special edition you got ahold of.

That would be the 'Man of the People' special behind the scenes takes! Man, I wanted to be that young ensign back then! ;) I'm sure his buddies did not believe him. lol
 
I agree with what some people said last page. I bet we'll have a scene where he walked through a door (probably a turbolift onto a bridge) in uniform and shaved.
 
Hasn't he had enough recover time from his crazy state to basically to finally shave and go back on active duty? It's just something I have noticed in the last episode. He is still wearing civilian clothes for some reason and I don't know why he has the beard anymore.

It's the 2250ies man. Beatniks are back in style. All he needs now are the shades. ;)
 
Why won't Spock shave? I'm thinking maybe going through a hardcore Feminist phase?

Hard to believe of a guy known for screamin' "THE WOMEN!!!!" at the top of his voice, just a few years ago I know.

In which case, probably just does the legs... :lol:

What a person does on leave is their business.
 
Prime Spock currently has a full beard, which is the opposite of his usual completely clean-shaven appearance.

So this must mean that at this point in the chronology, Mirror Universe Spock has big mutton chops but no mustache or any hair on his chin or below the lower lip. In terms of facial hair, that would be the opposite of the trim goatee that he would later be famous for. :vulcan:

Maybe Spock still doesn't feel fully recovered from his experiences with the Red Angel and thus refuses to go back to his normal appearance until the whole situation has been finaly put to rest.
