T'Pring was a missed opportunity

J.T.B. said:
I thought he meant he hoped, being half human, that he would be spared the full "madness" of the mating drive, which basically made, ahem, "marrying" T'pring beyond his control. Killing Kirk, for whatever reason, "broke the fever" and he could look at things rationally again.

Sure, but you could just as easily interpret that line as referring to his entire commitment to T'Pring. I'd say a double meaning was more than likely.

Spock didn't claim it was an absolute.
He said "After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."

There is a DC comic book I believe where Stonn comes aboard The Enterprise and imparts to Spock that he may have made an error in selecting T'Pring as his mate! I always wondered if that meant something along these lines..."Stonn has the Sehlat been put out yet?", or "Stonn have you called the science academy yet to tell them you're not going in today?" Or "You have never appreciated my mother's logical view of your work have you, Stonn?" Or "If I had wanted Plomik soup as often as you make it I'd have married Spock, Stonn!" Or something along those lines as I see T'Pring as a bit of a nagger to be honest!

I don't think a second episode with T'Pring would have added anything to the character to be honest!

I understand your reasoning, but I also disagree that anything Quinto Spock has done has nothing to do with Mr. Spock in TOS, including bearded Mirror Spock and 5,000 years past Horny-Angry Spock.

I have a reason, that Nero changed the timeline when Spock was much younger than that incident you mentioned. Maybe Qspock's uncle was on the Kelvin and that affected him. Maybe the Kelvin would have delivered medical supplies to help someone Spock eventually met and influenced him. There's any number of things that could have changed every single aspect of all of the characters either before or after they were born to make them almost completely different people.

I am not disputing Mr. Spock's potential of being mean, though. I agree with that.

I think JJ universe was different to begin with since when was George Kirk ever part of Starfleet? So when Spock did arrive in that much maligned universe it was already very off kilter!

George Kirk was in Starfleet in the novels since back in the 80s at least in some of Diane Carey's books, serving I think as first officer to April.
 
It's not really canon though is it and considering there will probably never be anymore TOS (in our universe at least) it makes it a null and void point!

Unless there are domestic violence laws on Vulcan, I want to see Spock and T'Pring fight it out with the lirpa.:eek:
