The Great Spock?

[Denise]

Why would Spock be so revered on Ni'Var if he was unsuccessful at saving the Romulan people from the destruction of their home planet? I could see him being admired by the Vulcan people (not necessarily for reunification, as it seems the government of Vulcan was not keen on that), but those Romulans who made it to Vulcan or its colonies would be refugees, I imagine, from the Romulan homeworld, maybe 10,000 like the Kelvin Vulcans who fled to New Vulcan (who had reasons to hate Spock, too, for leading Nero to their world).

Are we to assume that other Vulcans somehow were persuaded by Spock that reunification was necessary or desired? Or perhaps he had followers on Vulcan (his son? Saavik?) who persuaded them that this was a good thing?

He was only revered so that they could throw in a line about how Spock has Michael Burnham to thank for being the great person he became. Which is utter horseshit.

The movement that he started didn't end with his death and was the key reason why the two races finally came together. Spock himself knew that it wouldn't happen within his own lifetime.

That's absolute nonsense.

That’s what I said, except I used the word ‘horseshit.’

The seed had to come from somewhere. Why not be admired by both?

You're talking about your post right?

I suppose he was committed to the idea of reunification. and he gave his life trying to save the Romulan homeworld (a former enemy). I know he didn't actually die trying to save Romulus but they didn't know he went into another timeline/reality where the ships are bigger and Khan was English.
