Sarek: Spock married?

Patrick Stewart and Joanna Miles are the same age, so I don't see how it's even remotely possible that Perrin could have had an adult son when Picard was a fresh-faced lieutenant.

The actors are not the characters. Perrin could be much older than the actress if we assume she's aged better than Picard. TNG made McCoy ten years younger than what Kelley was in TOS.

Occam's razor. You have to stretch like Reed Richards to make that work. I mean, if that's your head canon, then that's yours and no one can take it away from you, but I don't see any logical narrative sense in-universe to it.

Also, given your McCoy comparison and thoughts on actor's real ages, consider that Picard is 10 years older than Patrick Stewart, which makes your hypothesis even less likely. Still, you do you. Just don't expect others to make the leaps in logic necessary to conform to your headcanon.

Dude, I don't give two shits if others think the same or not. But this franchise has already reshaped things in far more radical ways. This is nothing in comparison. So calm down, will you?
 
I think they should have some flash-forward at the end of SNW to show Spock marrying Chapel. It's probably the best way to bring closure to their relationship in the show, and feature the wedding with aged up Peck and Bush, not unlike how Discovery ended. Young Picard can be there too. The only problem is that it would be hard to explain why Spock literally waited until Chapel is 90 something to marry her, but honestly stranger things have been glossed over in Trek.

I know Robin Curtis posits that the Roddenberry short film Unification some months back possibly features Saavik's and Spock's son, but honestly that plot point was deleted from Star Trek 4 for a reason and I'm fine with that Vulcan there being some friend of Spock.

I always thought that Spock's timing in running off to Romulus in TNG was odd. He met Pardek in Star Trek 6. Why wait 80 years to do anything? But if you assume Spock married Chapel, then suddenly the timing makes more sense--he stayed with Chapel until she died, and once she did Spock was free to do "cowboy diplomacy" as it's termed in TNG

:lol:
You're the one who needs to calm down because you jump at anyone who has anything that even remotely resembles an opinion that differs from yours and dares to disagree. I mean, I already said that if that's your head canon and that's what you want to believe, then that's fine and no one can take it away from you, and you still chose to get aggressive. Toodaloo, chuckles. Your posts will no longer be visible to me. I no longer find them of interest or relevance.

I’m simply not seeing Chapel as the one Spock married. If we accept Picard’s birthdate as 2305, per non-canon sources, he couldn’t be a Lieutenant before 2325. Which is when he would’ve likely graduated from Starfleet Academy. I can’t see Chapel being born after 2230. Which would make her 95 in 2325.

Just doesn’t make much sense, in my book.

I picture it as a deathbed thing, making it official before the end.

If that's the case, I definitely wouldn't see a Starfleet contingent being there for the celebration. Something like that would probably be a pretty small, intimate affair.

The bigger picture, I dislike the entirety of Chapel's character being defined by her relationship with Spock.

What, you don't think the wedding of Admiral Christine Chapel deserves a Starfleet honor guard? ;)
 
For what it's worth, Spock marries Saavik in one of the novels: Vulcan's Heart by Susan Shwartz & Josepha Sherman.
Which was a rough read for me, having assimilated The Pandora Principle first.

That said, the mostly-unseen backstory for the recent Unification short film, which has a cameo by Robin Curtis as Saavik, not only acknowledges Vulcan's Heart but gives Spock a son too.
