Sybok used Nero to destory Vulcan!
I predict Sybok's going to be a central character in the next movie, played by Ben Stiller.
Since Spock didn't even tell his BFF of twentysomething years about Sybok until he had to, I seriously doubt the insane future Romulan miner-turned-worldkiller had a clue the 'bok even existed.
Trek V, goofy as it is, is filmed Trek produced by Paramount, and is thus part of the Narrative, and thus Canon.![]()
My opinion is that the writers are wrong, and their comments aren't canon until they appear as confirmed on screen, anyway.

They were confirmed on screen. It's stated repeatedly that Nero and Spock are from "the future", and Spock says "...Nero's very presence has altered the flow of history beginning with the attack on the USS Kelvin..."
That can happen when another writer writes the next part of what is seen on screen (and is thus canon) and contradicts what the previous writers thought but never actually showed and made canon. That isn't even a hard question. Try again.How can the person writing the story be wrong about its' contents?![]()
Spock might not have realized when he said that that he had moved to a parallel universe where changes had already occurred in addition to going back in time. I frankly doubt that myself, though, so I'll offer a better one: The older Spock we saw in ST:09 wasn't Spock "Prime"! He was the Spock from the timeline that was the future of Enterprise (and thus influenced by those changes) before Nero's interference occurred.Spock says "...Nero's very presence has altered the flow of history beginning with the attack on the USS Kelvin..."
I always figured that Nero hunted down Sybok and killed him... slowly. Man had to have something to do for twenty-five years.
Still comes down to writer intent. They are real. Spock isnt. The words that come out of his mouth are their words. They knew exactly what was meant and intended by the line. How you or I want or need to interpret it to mean to satisfy some fannish notion of "right or wrong" is irrelevant. To paraphrase Me Brooks "the Producers": They are the writers, you are the audience. They outrank you.That can happen when another writer writes the next part of what is seen on screen (and is thus canon) and contradicts what the previous writers thought but never actually showed and made canon.
