By the end of Star Trek VI, I think Spock had become the ideal Vulcan, able to perfectly balance logic and emotion

[@GeekFilterNet]

The scene with the Vulcan children taunting Spock in the 2009 Star Trek film was a direct lift from the animated series episode by DC Fontana “Yesteryear” . She was very much upset by that, not even getting invited to the Premier. When I tried to interview her about it she refused to talk about it.

[@arnoldfossman1701]

Actually Spock wasn't the only young Vulcan to show emotion. Bullying is a result of wanting to feel superior and/or not wanting to feel inferior, either way it's a show of emotion and those boys should have been admonished for their showing of emotion while they were trying to lord it over the half human Spock. There! I finally found a place to point out the character flaws of those three boys. After all it seems that nobody else has noticed it, but then I guess it takes a different mix of thought ability and being the victim of bullies.

[@GeekFilterNet]

@@arnoldfossman1701 True, but in a 24 min cartoon in 1973, even written by Dorothy, they were never going to delve into the emotional lives of 3 extras or complicate the story by also explaining why they too should be punished. We did however mention that on numerous podcasts and talked with William Simpson (voice of young Spock) about the unfair judgement, likely because of the negative view of Sarek and Amanda's relationship. Also remember, Vulcans have to learn to suppress their emotions and those were little kids. Not excusing them, but there is a reason why they aren't as controlled as adults.

[@keirfarnum6811]

To be fair, Vulcan “logic” isn’t always logical. It’s a projected version of our concept of “logical” rather than true logic. Take for instance T’pol’s insistence that the Vulcan Science Academy has stated that time travel is impossible. No truly logical society would ever make such a statement because they would inherently recognize the limits of their knowledge and that a privileged epistemological viewpoint from which to make determinations on what is “true” is impossible. In other words they would recognize that they don’t have god-like omniscience to know for sure if time travel is “impossible” or not. They would simply say they’ve found no evidence for its existence and do not know for sure if it’s possible or not. Some of the ideas that we assume are logical are anything but because we’re so conditioned to our viewpoint that we cannot see outside of it.

[@joermnyc]

Spock even says, “Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end.”

[@grahamcann1761]

My favorite piece of Spock's illogical logic is from the original series, "I, Mudd": "Logic is a little tweeting bird chirping in a meadow. Logic is a wreath of pretty flowers which smell *bad*. Are you sure your circuits are registering correctly? Your ears are green." As always thank you so very much for the video.

He's allowed to abandon logic sometimes, he's half human, so his human side does show sometimes, and even Spock knows, Logical thinking doesn't always have the best outcome neither does it always the best solution, I've always like the conversation between Spock and Data in the 2 part episode "unification"

[@mikeyearwood]

Data wanting to be human was ridiculous. Humanity is generally awful. Better for humanity to emulate Spock.

[@L1z43vr]

Untrue. There has been cases of Vulcans abandoning logic, even those without half human heritage. Case and point: Sarek marrying Amanda, even if he claimed it was the “logical” thing to do, the reality is he loved her. Plus you also have to consider Ponn Farr, which would make even the most logical Vulcan abandon Surak’s teachings

[@donnamorrell1895]

@@L1z43vr "Ponn Farr" wasn't that a chemical imbalance in vulcans, so obviously not a choice to abandon logic, there are other neurological problems that afflict vulcans, Such as what Sarek died off, or What Tuvok went through that would also cause them to abandon logic, Yes, Sarek married a Human, had a half human/ half vulcan child ie, spock, but sometime it is necessary for Vulcans to abandon logic, just because they are Vulcan, and they are logical thinkers doesn't always mean the Logical way is the best course of action, also my last comment was mostly about Spock being half human, so he can abandon logic for his human gut feelings, or human intuition.

[@adrianhead6272]

Spock NEVER abandoned logic. He just realised that when logic fails to help, illogic is the next logical step. Using instinct and guesswork can be just as logical even if the outcome isn't guaranteed, especially if the alternative is failure or death.

[@MrMash-mh9dy]

I disagree. Leonard Nimoy was the architect that made the character what he was. It was his choices in how to play Spock that led to what we know. You can't take a copy of a Da Vinci and say it is as good as the original no matter how technically similar it is because Da Vinci was the creator, not an imitator. I still think both of the others did well, and I especially like how Ethan Peck plays the role now but still, it's the template Nimoy refined they are working with. Plus, Nimoy's love of the fans and the character is what saved Trek from oblivion so he gets points there too with me.

Although it's usually the result of an emotional reaction, we DO get to see glimpses of just how formidable a fighter Spock truly is.

(I imagine that a Spock with his full mental capacities would've easily soloed Kruge's entire group; for that matter, even though he's a lil' older by TNG, I bet Old Spock could no doubt solo most TNG era Klingons, maybe even giving Worf a run for his latinum!!)

The Vulcans taught themselves logic to overcome their emotions, that could have destroyed their civilisation. The Romulans were an offshoot from the Vulcan race, who chose the other way....warlike ways. Spock attempted to reunite both races, because he ultimately believes in the Vulcan way, even if his half human heritage, means he sometimes abandons it, after all the Romulans have wasted centuries on wars with each and other races, while the Vulcans and Humans built the Federation together.

Kirk: Not chess, Mr. Spock...poker... Spock: A very Interesting game, this poker. Kirk: When you jettisoned the fuel and ignited it, you knew there was virtually no chance of it being seen, yet you did it anyhow. That would seem to me to be an act of desperation. Spock: Quite correct, Captain.

In your lists of Spok's loves, why not the Romulan Commander as well? The desperate gamble WAS logical. The ship was LEAVING.

Prime universe Spock not only abandoned logic in 2009 but also common bloody sense when he thought he could save the Romulan homeworld from the sun exploding by turning it into a black hole instead. Even if his plan was successful all that it’d mean is instead of being incinerated instantly Romulus would be frozen to death slowly enough to notice but too quickly to save all but a fraction of its life. The second worst sin of that movie was the lens flares, but the worst was that they made Spock an idiot.

[@philtkaswahl2124]

I've always disagreed that his actions with the Gallileo Seven were "illogical." Space is massive, and even the Enterprise had no real idea where to aim their sensors at to even begin looking, so it was quite possible just waiting would have resulted in a long wait until death from undiscovery even if it streched out their fuel supply more. Lighting the fuel, however, increased their visibility and thus chances of quicker discovery at the cost of expending their fuel at once. Both waiting and lighting up their remaining fuel had rational pros vs possible risks.

[@bethanyhait6880]

This might be falling under his relationship with his family… but the Naked Time episode where he openly weeps over his inability to tell his mother he loves her. Also in ST IV, when he tells Kirk that he agrees with Bones about rescuing Chekhov. Kirk asks if it’s the logical thing to do, and Spock says no, but it was the human thing.

Just for the hell of it. 😅 But if we're allowing alternate realities for examples of Spock abandoning logic, then I can't believe we didn't talk about "Mirror, Mirror". His whole species has abandoned logic, allying themselves with a hyper xenophobic Terran Empire that will, by way of it's very nature, undoubtedly betray and eradicate them as soon as it's convenient. Not very logical at all. Logic would dictate, that the tenants of Vulcan peace and freedom would make them stand as conscientious objectors, not collaborators. 🤷‍♂️🖖
