Huh? The book's set shortly after "The Cage."
Makes sense to me.That's not so bad then. Hook 'em then reel 'em in...
I would think Sarek. He's the main Vulcan in the trailers. Seems straightforward to capitalise on that marketing.
The blurb says it's a man (it doesn't specify Vulcan) that she's "tried to avoid her entire life." How could she have spent her entire life avoiding her adoptive father?
Spock didn't speak to Sarek for 18 years. But maybe it'd be unintentionally hilarious if everyone in Sarek's care abandoned him as soon as they could.
Just think how many estranged kids he might actually have!
Now I'm thinking of an alternate scene for the TNG episode Sarek, where Picard, after the mind meld screams the names of all Sarek's estranged kids. "SPOCK! SYBOK! MICHAEL! SARU! T'WREN! ROKLEM! K'VART! CURZON! LAREN! TORVIG! JARESH-INYO!"
You forgot Saavik.
Nah, she was raised by Spock, which would make her more like Sarek's granddaughter or something.
Torvig is definitely my favorite from this list..lol!
In The Pandora Principle, Spock spent a year teaching and socializing Saavik and then went back to the Enterprise, and the book is vague on who raised her after that. He was more her mentor and sponsor than her father figure. And most other versions of her backstory, including DC's "The Origin of Saavik," Marvel's Untold Voyages #2, and Unspoken Truth, do in fact have Sarek and Amanda raise Saavik while Spock is (obviously) busy on the Enterprise.
Fine, so the scene continues:
"SAAVIK! ILIA! ELIAS! KELDAR! T'PEL! VREENAK! ENABRAN! DEMORA!"
"SAAVIK! ILIA! ELIAS! KELDAR! T'PEL! VREENAK! ENABRAN! DEMORA!"

Reading through that, it only mentions a deal with S&S for Discovery and doesn't mention anything about the franchise as a whole:
Oh I agree, but one can infur from this announcement that the license agreement for Discovery and the Franchise as a whole are two separate agreements (although it looks like most of the list have done other Trek things in the past) and it is no-way an announcement that the Licence of the Franchise as a whole (well, TOS, Movies, TNG, DS9, Voy and Ent) has been renewed for S&S.
