Spock's fate
- Thread starter Kokomo
- Start date
If Old Spock arrived in this time by accident, I doubt the writers will let him go back. I'm pretty sure he's the one ramming Jellyfish into Narada, after a mind-meld with Young Spock. So he'll both live and die at the same time.
I'd wager its Spock Prime's final adventure.

I kind of hope that it is. Spock is my favorite character and I would love to see him go out on a heroic and brave note
I'd hope Spock's fate is tied to whatever has happened in the 24th century. Which could mean the end of the universe are the stakes if we find the Hobus mission fails in Countdown #4 and that exposition carries over into the movie.
Spock tells Kirk that he must take command of the Enteprise and stop Nero. Spock doesn't go with Kirk and Scotty onto the Enterprise, claiming to do so is not his destiny.
I'm guessing Spock is on a much greater mission, of which stopping Nero is just a part. The rest is in the future. I'm hoping that however it ends, in life or death, the fulfillment of Spock's destiny has more cosmic dimensions, and isn't about just the stopping of yet one more mad planet-killer.

I think it would be quite nice if old Spock died in the end, sacrificing himself for the needs of the many.
How about a final one ? One where he will stay dead for a change.
Or would you have him live for ever and ever and ever ?
I'm neutral on this. It would be great for him to have a blaze of glory, but I wouldn't object to it being left for offscreen conjecture, either.
Just don't give him a crap waste of a death like Kirk in "Generations." (Though David George's Crucible book sort of fixed that).

As has been said before: they've already killed him once; to do it again would make it feel cheaper, somehow. I'm kind of favoring leaving his fate open, either allowing him to "ride off into the sunset", headed for parts unknown, or to have Spock simply leave the story, his part in it played, and not show or state exactly what happens to him from there.
I expect that his exact fate will be a matter of speculation.
Well if he doesn't die (which I suspect his his most likely outcome) what could his fate be?
Perhaps if Vulcan is indeed destroyed he could see this a moment where Vulcans (the ones who escape/weren't on Vulcan at the time) may finally be ready to reunify with their Romulan brothers and thus takes up his struggle for Reunification once more in this new circumstance?

I'm guessing he will probably die. As people have already said, thats probably him in the jellyfish exploding.
If he mind melds with young Spock and transfers his katra before he dies, then I will be happy.
I wouldnt be so happy if he dies without the katra transfer, though.
I really like the idea of him living on through young spock, making young spock a combination of himself and spock prime.
If he ends up living and ust going off to live his final years on some planet then i guess thats fine but its rather underwhelming.

Well, from the pictures I've seen of him so far, he looks pretty much like a corpse anyhow, so I'd like to see him go out in a blaze of glory, like ramming Nero's ship.
Must be the makeup.
Seriously man, he's pushing 80, I should live that long, let alone be ambulatory at that age...
Why do we need him to die? We've seen him die once. A great death. An unbeatable death. Anything they do in this movie would be a retread and probably not a good one.
I think Spock riding off into the sunset at the end by going back to the future ala the ending of First Contact while leaving us behind with the new cast would be the best exit for Spock.
A passing of the torch doesn't mean one has to set the torch bearer on fire.
