Did Kelvin Spock know about Hobus?

[publiusr]

a great B plot would have been Kelvin Spock dealing with Prime Spock's Katra.

That would allow Kelvin Spock to explain to Kirk (and the audience) anything Spock Prime encountered: “that ram’s horn on screen is a planet killer.”

Makes for great exposition.

Also canonically, it's the Romulan home star now because of Picard.

As far is I remember it is not worded without wiggle room. In the first episode of "Picard" they just mentioned "the Romulan sun". That can be the sun of the Romulan home system but I think it can also be any sun within the borders of the Romulan Star Empire. They are all Romulan suns and in the conext of that scene - in which the supernova has been already mentioned - the description could just point to that one Romulan sun that exploded.

Yes, they are wisely keeping it vague.

How does this in any way make sense? If it was the Romulan home star, why would Spock have thought he had a chance to save Romulus? Wouldn't Romulus have been annihilated more or less immediately?

It's all a bit stupid, because Spock says the star will explode and threaten to destroy the galaxy. Then Picard (the show) has Admiral Picard preparing for the nova in 2385, two years before it blows it, so then it becomes more like Spock was trying to use red matter to stop...something from happening in the Romulan star, but he fucked up and turned up too late. We see what happens when they do use red matter, so even if it worked, wouldn't the whole star just be sucked back in time to Kelvin timeline, and the Prime Romulans have to make do without a sun from now on? It's like when your house catches on fire, you put some dynamite in it and blow it up first.

Extraneous??
The guy who was directly or indirectly responsible for Spocks death and the guy he called the deadliest foe the Enterprise crew ever faced would I think be foremost in Spocks mind.
And I never heard that there were different levels of mind-meld.Meld-lite?

The Undiscovered Country provides a good example of this, as Spock had to struggle to get information out of Valeris. Granted, they were both Vulcans, but when a meld was initiated to get information out of someone, they were able to resist, for a time, and until Spock used both hands and forced it out of her.

Another example is in Discovery's "Choose to Live," when a meld is initiated, the person initiating it was ready to break it off, but the person being melded with insists they stay longer to see a specific memory.

These provide the evidence that melds are able to be very specific, seeking out (or imparting) just the information one wants to impart/find.
