(Anonymous) 2015-04-08 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)Spock also went to the Academy in TOS -- he and his father had an over 10 year falling out about it over Spock going to Starfleet instead of the VSA. Just like in the reboots. It's the EXACT SAME.
you don't seem to get the whole concept of alternate reality and butterfly effect, don't you? How it can be exactly the same? For the little we know, it's NOT.
Yes, he went to the academy in TOS too but was that choice made for the same exact reason and in the same exact moment? We don't know. He didn't talk with his father for more than 10 years in tos, but we don't know if it was the same in this reality too, maybe here he kept a relationship with his parents. In the movie nothing seems to suggest that him and Sarek were not in good terms.
You also missed the fact that in the tos universe Spock had been working on Pike's enterprise for 10 years before he became Kirk's first officer. Uhura was still graduating at the time, they probably never met each other in tos if not years later when Uhura joined enterprise round 2 and became Kirk's communication officer. You don't know what exactly happened to tos Spock that made him want to be more vulcan than vulcans either. Was that ever explained to you? Did the writers give you his whole backstory before the enterprise?
There are obviously some things that make the characters similar to their counterparts but 'some' doesn't make them identical and even those similar events might have gone a bit differently for whatever reason and coincidence in an universe that was irremediably changed by Nero's incursion.
Least but not least, in one of the tos novels written by D. C. Fontana (she was one of the tos writers) Spock's coldness in the series is explained as him having a bad experience with love when he was younger (he fell for someone when he was working with Pike and that girl died) and Nichelle Nichols said that Roddenberry wanted a Spock/Uhura relationship but he couldn't develop it because she was a black woman. Point is, even for the old writers Spock having a significant other wasn't unconceivable.
Essentially, you are reaching and griping for reasons which only you can discern.

What gets me is they keep saying SPOCK is in the wrong, but we all know it's because how dare a woman put her disgusting fingers on our pwecious babu Vulcan, KIRK SAVE HIM.
