Put aside logic do what feels right???

[1bulma1]

Why would Spock Prime tell that to Nu Spock? Where is the fun and depth with a Vulcan with no logic?
One thing that made Quinto’s Spock great was the fact that he was a Vulcan that was struggling to fnid the right balance between his Vulcan and Human herritage, it will suck if he decides to ditch one.

Emotion will overwhelm the younger Spock. He lost his parents and his homeworld in the first film, will lose the only woman he ever loved in the second and that will cause him to slide into madness. He will be the villain of the third film. Seeking revenge on Kirk and Earth with his super bad guy ray gun located deep in the heart of Delta Vega (the one with the Vulcan zip code)...

I loved that line. I thought it profound sitting in the cinema - here's Spock, who's been through so much, so much struggle with himself and his identity - and, given the chance to talk to his younger self, he says "Put aside logic, do what feels right." It's an admission that the path he chose was, in retrospect, not the one he'd choose given the chance to live life over. A BIG deal, coming from Spock.

Although, yes, the character would suffer if his younger self really does embrace his humanity.

Old Spock has lived a long time and has learned to find a balance between his logical Vulcan side and his emotional human side. One is not superior to the other, and sometimes it's just important to go with your gut than to choose the most "logical" path. Young Spock may not understand this yet, but his older counterpart does.

And in that movie, an angry Kirk will yell, "SSSSPOOOOOOOOOOCK!"

Yep. Being around Jim Kirk (Prime) rubbed off on old Spock. McCoy probably had an effect, too (though Spock Prime would never admit it). I thought this was one of the most telling things Spock ever said about himself since his conversation with Sarek in TVH where Sarek said his "associates" were people of good character, and Spock replies, "They are my friends." And then Sarek asks Spock if he has a message for his mother and he says, "Yes. Tell her, I feel fine." Earlier in the movie, he said going after Chekov was not logical, but it was the human thing to do. There's a man who finally seems at peace with himself.

Spock said once before that logic is only the beginning of wisdom.

Sarek's still around. And still talking to him. Different.

Spock Prime's father maintained a decades-long period of father-son non-communication.

I misspoke, my mistake.
