Property of Ambassador Spock [SPOILERS!!!]

[Smellmet]

And they've canonized a movie we all wish wasn't canon!

I think they should have used the one from VI so they looked even older, I think that would have been even more emotional to see that Spock stayed with his friends till he was an old man. It's a minor point though, they didn't look that different, it's not like they used a pic from TOS or TMP, but I can see what they were going for in this scene, so why not use the one where they looked the oldest? Either way it was a brilliant unexpected scene that even my non-trekkie other half found emotional.

Maybe the VI one was considered too well known? (it seemed to be everywhere in 1991 on magazine covers etc) the V one maybe wasn't so used?, plus Kirks not sat in the chair/they abit too close together. (but itd have made sense with them being even older, Shatners similar colour/style hair as Pine not darker/TJ like V, and it being the 25th anniversary photo for the 50th)

I suspect they used the cast photo from TFF because that was the most recent one where Sulu was still part of the Enterprise crew, and the point was to show the crew stuck together for many years.

I know Sulu was captain of the Excelsior at the time of VI, was he not in the photo? I thought it was just a promo shot. If not I stand corrected.

Oh he was in the cast photos, I'm just saying better to use a photo from when he was a member of the Enterprise crew. If it had been the picture from Trek VI that was used, we'd be trying to convolute a reason for why did Sulu beam over to the Enterprise A just to take a picture with the crew. As it is, we're jumping through hoops trying to figure out why Spock Prime took a portrait of his old friends with him on his failed attempt to save Romulus.

Didn't really think that one through did I?

Easy he did the pic with them just prior to setting off for his 3years? cataloging gaseous anomalies

I saw that this morning. I'd never seen anything like it!

 

[Khan 2.0]

Yeah Id never seen it before a few days ago. It was used for the VI première https://www.facebook.com/StarTrekV....583747059762/1277770495574409/?type=3&theater

Which oddly I thought of back when the first movie came out. I wondered why doesn't Spock Prime go back home through the Guardian of Forever? Then, I realized it was because he wanted to stay and help the Vulcan survivors. He had nothing really to go back to in the Prime Timeline: all his friends and family were gone, except maybe Scotty, and his efforts for unification on Romulus ultimately failed.

Can the Guardian send people to the future of a different universe?

Have to ask Harlan. Careful, though. I hear he's a bit touchy about the subject.

I heard it was more than one subject.

Mostly subjects which involve other a) people using his shit without asking him first and b) assuming that he won't mind not being paid for same.

(Harlan's also not great about suffering fools gladly, but I think we've all been there at some time or other.)

Nero tossed Spock's trusty Samsonite suitcase out with him on Delta Vega?

lol

 

[Nerys Myk]

I remember seeing Harlan at a con I went to in the late 70s. Quite the experience,

I just remember laughing my head off at his snark and acerbic wit.

I'm still not figuring out what the problem here is supposed to be. The Jellyfish was a sizeable spacecraft. She could have accommodated lots and lots of Spock's stuff, and none of it would be of any interest to Nero, who clearly did not have any other use for the craft than that of her advanced Red Matter Fridge.

Would Spock carry with him a photograph of his friends? No doubt. Would he also pack a sleeping sack and a stuffed effigy of I-Chaya? Quite possibly. Would he carry his whole (probably relatively ascetic) life with him on the Jellyfish? Maybe, if he thought that his mission to save Romulus would burn all his bridges with Vulcan authorities. The stuff making the transit to the new timeline and surviving is what we'd expect to happen, really.
