Does anyone else think that it's really cool that Spock Prime will get a chance to know his Dad again? That seems like a really nice side effect of him getting left in the past.

Plus Spock Prime will do his part to ... um, repopulate the Vulcan species.

Knowing how to build a computer, but being in the year 1800 where the materials and manufacturing don't exist, means you can't build a computer.

Heh! Yeah, he seemed particularly interested in that aspect. I suppose it's logical.

Of course the Prime Directive might preclude him from doing so.
Then again, Scotty used future knowledge in devising that casing for the whales (IIRC), so...

Well he figured out that transporter trick pretty quickly. In the middle of nowhere too!
He did make that mnemonic memory circuit out of stone knives and bear skins.
The technology already existed for that apparently.
But I doubt Spock will go around telling the Federation about technologies freely. He is concentrating right now on rebuilding his species.
Not only that, but Scotty was also able to make that computer he was using do things it wasn't even capable of doing with some simple typing!!!!
If all he cared about was rebuilding the species, then couldn't he just make a trillion Vulcan clones?
Not as much fun as the Beach Boys' approach.
I really thought this movie took a step backwards from the Spock/Sarek relationship that existed in TOS, which was a major source of conflict within Spock. I am not sure why they chose to make Sarek so much more supportive and understanding of Spock's human traits.
Probably the death of his mother and wiping out of Vulcan contributed to that...?
Spock had serious success, first try, at building a computer out of used radio parts in the 1930s.
I have a feeling if he used 23rd century tech, he could build 24th century devices.

Sarek: What I cannot understand, is how did Nero obtain the Red Matter with which to destroy Vulcan?
Spock Prime: Uh yeah, about that, Dad...

Even before those events, Sarek was a much changed character. When kiddie-Spock wailed on the bully-Vulcan, Sarek offers calm and fatherly advice. This strikes me as out of step with the rigid Sarek of old as created by Dorothy Fontana.
Yes, but he's been off-world and mingled with humans for a long time, perhaps that gave him more perspective.
It is like being multilingual--gives you a perspective on other cultures you otherwise wouldn't have.
Just a thought.
