Will Sarek?

[Sharr Khan]

We know Sarek Prime had in his long life had at least 3 wives: The mother of Sybok, Amanda, and Perrin.

Do you think if he appears in the next movie that Sarek will have taken another wife? And if so, will she be human or Vulcan?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

No.

Give Sarek some time to mourn Amanda. He shouldn't be remarrying this soon.

 

[Sharr Khan]

No.

Give Sarek some time to mourn Amanda. He shouldn't be remarrying this soon.

But we don't know how much time will pass between films. Could be a number of years later for all we know. If anything I'd be willing to bet they'll jump ahead or imply more than a few months between the movies. If only for "seasoning sake".

Again, Sarek might not be included at all.

Absolutely

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

No.

AFAIK, ST XII will pick up right where XI left off. A few days at most.

There's no WAY Sarek will be remarrying that soon. Vulcans, with all their logic and emotional control, still love their wives. Sarek even said so.

I agree they love their wives, and I do not think I implied otherwise. Though I'm not really convinced of your surety that it will be a mere few days between films. Or have I missed an interview where this has been stated?

Remember they destroyed Vulcan and killed Amanda to introduce uncertainty into the mix, so I would not expect them to stop there and not continue to do so in the next few movies as well.

Once you go Terran, there aint no comparin'

Of course. I'm not implying that Sarek can't marry someone other than Perrin (who has surely not even been born yet when ST XI takes place).

Assuming that what I heard is true, and XII takes place very soon after XI, then Sarek won't, or shouldn't, be remarrying then. Because Amanda has just died. Remarrying so soon after a spouse's death implies that one never loved that spouse, and this is obviously not the case with Sarek. A period of mourning *must* be observed. To do otherwise would be heartless.

 

[Sector 7]

^By human standards it may seem heartless, however since their race is "an endangered species" logic may dictate that all single Vulcans should take a mate... for propagation of the species.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

10,000 is a viable genetic base, isn't it? And that doesn't even include Vulcans who were already living off planet (Orci and Kurtzman have said so).

In any case, Sarek doesn't have to take a wife. He could simply provide a DNA sample which they can then use for a lot of in vitro Vulcan babies.

If there were significant numbers of Vulcans living off planet,
then the Vulcan species wouldn't exactly be endangered, would they?

What have you heard, and from whom? Can you provide a link? (Use spoiler tags, where appropriate.)

Spock was probably just overreacting. Besides, he would have no way of knowing, personally, how many Vulcans were living offworld.

 

[JarodRussell]

Logic dictates that every Vulcan male gets several females to repopulate the species. The pon farr cycle of 7 years will be medically reduced to 7 days. "It's good to be Vulcan!" will be one of the main slogans of the Federation Repopulate Vulcan program. All Vulcan love slaves on Ferenginar and Orion will be brought back to the Vulcan colony.

Spock slaps himself in the forehead "Oh, right. I forgot the millions of Vulcans living on the colony planets. Ditzy-witzy."

 

[shapeshifter]

By this time in his life, to anyone paying close attention to events of ST: 6 and Unification, Spock has long outgrown needing to be absolutely correct on every bit of minutia. He has learned to exaggerate.

Sarek here is a deep subject imo. I hope the writers do bring him back for more screen time and I hope he is visibly tortured by Amanda's death. I wouldn't mind seeing it completely tear him apart - even unto an early death. This will make Spock's growth in this universe even more poignant than in the prime where all he dealt with was his father's disapproval.

It was the young Spock talking.

Yes, shame the writers didn't just admit that they were the ones who forgot about Vulcan's colonies. I would have had more respect for them.

I can't recall in any Trek ever seeing a "colony" that didn't amount to more than a single city... and by city I mean tiny little town or experimental station.

Where are these thriving colonies I keep hearing about on this board? The notion that there's some thriving central hub of Vulcan's out there to me seems unfounded as most species in Trek are depicted as being homebodies/centralized in their homeworlds, and the Vulcans are chief among them.

If there are colonies they are a scattering, of a droplet at best.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

We've never seen much evidence of Vulcan colonies, and Vulcan characters have said that while they've been in space for quite a while they're not explorers by nature.

So, until writers create some Vulcan colonies - other than Romulas, of course - they don't exist to be "forgotten about."
