Good point. As far as I know, we've never seen Spock dealing with the human side of his family. (Except for his human ancestors in Ishmael, I guess.)

Good point. As far as I know, we've never seen Spock dealing with the human side of his family. (Except for his human ancestors in Ishmael, I guess.)
Joe Haldeman's Planet of Judgment had a flashback of 10-year-old Spock visiting his aunt Doris and her young sons Lester and Jimmy, who bullied him. Strangers from the Sky by Margaret Wander Bonanno has a time-displaced Spock meeting his ancestor Jeremy Grayson. And Susan Ross Moore's "Family Matters" in Strange New Worlds III involved Spock's aunt Kathleen and her daughter Elizabeth.
And I'm sure there must be some fanfiction out there involving Amanda's ancestor Dick Grayson...
Wait... does that mean that Spock is the legal heir to the Wayne estate and to the identity of Batman?
Spock is the Bat?
I suppose he's got the ears for it...
"As my ancestor's mentor once remarked, criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot."
It's also funny how we never met Sarek's "mistress", the Vulcan princess who was Sybok's mother. From the movie it seemed as though, after Sybok rejected logic, there was a death penalty or something on every Vulcan that even spoke his name.
But with the original post, don't forget that James T. Kirk did appear with the TNG crew in Engines of Destiny and interacted with Picard and crew in Federation.

Actually, no the TOS and TNG casts don't really interact at all in Federation.
Perhaps Spock's affinity for computer systems comes from being descended from Oracle/Babs Gordon, too.
This was gonna be my big question for Greg:Actually, there's plenty, but a good chunk of it is in comic book form, since DC's monthly comic from 1989 forward took place between V and VI.Thanks Greg! Can't wait! I love the unexplored movie era. The time between V and VI is like 6 years and we don't have much that takes place there, so it will be nice to explre it further
Being the huge continuity-maven we all know and love, what are the chances we could maybe get some synchronicity with/references to the '89-'96 DC Comics series featuring the Enterprise-A?
There were some great stories published during those years, and I'd kill to see some love thrown their way (as KRAD mentioned, those comics are probably the single-biggest source of tales set aboard Kirk's second Enterprise). Anyways, this news made my whole week. Greg teased a book proposal set during the TFF/TUC interim period last September...fantastic to hear it's actually happening.
There are comparatively very few novels set during that specific era of Star Trek history, versus the post-TMP era, and it's such an emotionally-rich time period to explore strictly from a characterizational standpoint.

I just pre-ordered the book, as a matter of fact. I'm looking forward to reading it soon!
