Sarek: Spock married?

I don't believe its a multiverse.

That is fine, but the joke wasn’t about transgender folks. It was about me treating it as a multiverse.

It was wasn’t mentioned again, iirc. A common fan assumption is that he eventually married Saavik, but that’s never been confirmed onscreen. (Looking back from 2025 this is maybe a little uncomfortable due to the age difference, but eh.)

I don't understand - Spock was born in 2230 and Saavik was born c. 2264. Yes, that's a 34-year age gap, but by the time of their wedding, Spock would have been about 100 and Saavik 65. Considering how long Vulcan's live, that's middle-aged for both of them.​

I always found Spock and Saavik as a couple creepy.

Okay, that’s fair. I guess my reaction comes from mentally seeing them as they were in The Wrath of Khan.

The teacher/student-mentor/mentee thing, the age difference, the age role reversal in TSFS....lots of reasons the relationship feels off.

Parallel-y, Kelvin Spock winds up in a relationship with Uhura, also a student of his.

Spock needs to be called down to HR!

I always figured the line was meant to allude to Spock in some way, but it was never brought up again. Nor should it be.

Toss it into the pile with the Klingons joining the Federation, setting course for the first city of the Klingon Imperial Empire, the WWIII thing, etc.

That episode aired a year after we learn Spock had a brother and in recent years we've learned he also had a sister. There's absolutely no reason why Sarek couldn't have had another son we've as yet heard nothing about.

Given how fandom lost their shit both of the previous times that it was revealed that Spock had a previously unknown sibling, I would just rather not go down that road again.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Give it time; they'll give Sarek another son/godson/stepson/adopted son.

To add to this; I could imagine Amanda might become lonely when Spock rarely visits and Michael is lost to time. Oh, there are various ambassadorial functions to attend and host, but it's not the same. So perhaps their home welcomes students from the science academy as boarders, or they take on another foster child, eventually, who they (as good as) adopt, or Sarek's young embassy assistant finds a home away from home.

Whereas that's the reason I'd love to go down that road again. Fans losing their shit over stupid reasons amuses me.

I can respect and appreciate this viewpoint.
