Property of Ambassador Spock [SPOILERS!!!]

Sarek was full vulcan for one, and 203 was considered advanced for a Vulcan.

162 is a long life, though. And considering he died once before, he was lucky to live that much longer. He got more mileage out of returning from the dead than John Sheridan.
 
Ambassador Spock certainly lived long. I like the idea that he had pics of his loved ones with him.
I still wonder if he and NuSpock chatted about how things were in the Kelvin Timeline.
"...You and Lieutenant Uhura are... dating?"
"Yes. Did you not pursue her in your reality?"
"I did not..."
"Did Jim?"
"He did not."
"That is... pleasing to know."

Slightly related: Did anyone notice Ambassador Spock's service record highlights on the PADD Spock is given by the two Vulcans? It mentions him serving as Executive Officer on the Enterprise NCC-1701-A. I don't think that phone call about Khan was the only time he broke his vow never to reveal information about the future!

That record did tweak me a little. It listed his career as:

Ambassador
Second Officer, U.S.S. Enterprise
Executive Officer, U.S.S. Enterprise-A

Which is probably accurate (either he was eventually second officer under Pike, or you can go with the "Gary Mitchell was the first officer" interpretation), but it would seem weird not to mention he topped out as captain of the original Enterprise. Or, if you're going by length of service, he would've been Exec on the original Enterprise for the longest period of time. I can see why either option wouldn't work in a filmed context (it'd either make it look like he was demoted, or he stagnated), but, still. Odd way to arrange a career.

And is it weird his birthdate wasn't adjusted? The notice made it look like he was a very weathered 33-year-old.

I do like to think that spock went back and forth between the prime and kelvin universe thereby getting a few of his items.

Spock might be the only being in the Kelvinverse that knows about the Guardian of Forever..... which seems to have reach to foresee multiple timelines....

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.
 
Regarding Spock's age...when he was on Genesis, he aged rapidly... the planet was dying, and so he might have aged prematurely as well

...Somehow he also felt he was Second Officer in "The Enemy Within". Perhaps the First Officer slot was left empty in the aftermath of the second pilot until Kirk could complete his reshuffling of assignments? That is, the de facto XO of the ship was formally considered her Second Officer.

but it would seem weird not to mention he topped out as captain of the original Enterprise.

Verily. Perhaps he was no such thing? Perhaps his commanding the E-nil in ST2:TWoK was a temporary assignment, only effective for the duration of the training cruise cum birthday joyride, and the vessel was in fact under the command of somebody else altogether around that time? Or perhaps she held a special status as a dedicated training vessel and formally did not have a CO or a crew, just visiting instructors and students?

Although he held the rank of Captain in TWOK, was it ever established that he was Captain of the Enterprise? I always thought he was full-time at the Academy by that point. The Enterprise was nothing more than a classroom for him, not a ship he commanded on a regular basis.
 
Spock said "As a teacher on a training mission I am content to command the Enterprise." Which suggests that the ship is indeed attached to the Academy full-time, as Spock himself is.
 
Certainly the phrase throws enough ambiguity into the issue to allow us to think that Spock wasn't formally the CO of the Enterprise. In practice, though, he was referred to as the Captain of the ship many times in that movie, rather than merely addressed by his rank of Captain. Say, the "Captain's discretion" exchange about the course of the training cruise.

Careful- This may be how we're getting George Kirk into the next film.

Spock identifies himself as second officer in a log entry in "The Enemy Within".

Captain's Log, stardate 1673.1. Entry made by Second Officer Spock. Captain Kirk retains command of this vessel, but his force of will rapidly fading. Condition of landing party critical. Transporter unit still under repair.

Now I want to see that scene. And now I remember Nimoy is gone. And now I have feels.
 
wonder if any other crew publicity photos were considered?

TOS would be out as they the pretty much same age now even older (plus it needed to be them when they way older to show Spock they grow old and meant to be together).

TMP no good as those uniforms (plus Rand/Chapel).

II maybe but maybe not old enough.

III no as in civilian wear and no Spock!

IV - this one but all in the shuttle not the bridge (plus with Gene Roddenberry although they could've cut him out)
https://67.media.tumblr.com/c9709bbb2daf5c6eb9feaf38a25dacc7/tumblr_mvqqczFdlk1qmtfp8o1_500.jpg
I guess they could've used one on the bridge but its a shot from the actual movie not a looking at the camera crew photo:
http://musingsfromus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Star-Trek-IV-The-Voyage-Home-1986-scrns_34.jpg
this would've been a cool one to use but again - from a scene in the film/not a looking at the camera crew photo (plus not on the bridge):
http://www.startrekbeyondonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/3-5.jpg

VI - they all stood up kind of awkwardly, kirk isn't sat in the chair (although at least Shatner has brown hair to match Pine, plus it was the 25th anniversary):
http://www.trekcore.com/specials/rare/cast.jpg
or theres this shot of them at the end of the film all looking at camera (but abit too spaced apart and no Sulu so would've had to edit him in there)
http://furiousfanboys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/star-trek-vi-crew.jpg

think they made the right choice with V - anyway its a little bit funny they used the crew shot from the worst movie :D

It was canonized the second it played in theatres.

Although, in my head canon (shout out to the other thread! lol) I kind of only admit the parts that made it into the Pilot length Fan Edit of Star Trek V - where the "episode" plays almost flawlessly... :)
