My first-ever Star Trek thread.

Since Kirk was taken, might as well do a thread on the half-Vulcan First Officer. Spock is a cold character at times, but when it comes down to it, there's no one better to have you back...especially someone who is an expert in the Vulcan Nerve Pinch.

Spock is the son of Vulcan ambassador Sarek and human Amanda Grayson. The relationship between Spock and Sarek often is turbulent, although rooted in an underlying respect and carefully restrained love for each other. Their falling out began when Spock declined an offer to study at the prestigious Vulcan Science Academy and instead joined Starfleet against his father's wishes.

Spock served on the USS Enterprise for eleven years under the command of Captain Christopher Pike and continues to serve aboard the ship as science officer and first officer under Captain James T. Kirk. Star Trek depicts a "troika" of Spock, Kirk, and McCoy; while McCoy often acts as Kirk's conscience, Spock offers the captain an emotionally detached, logical perspective. The character also offers an "outsider's'" perspective on "the human condition."

At the beginning of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Spock is no longer in Starfleet, but he rejoins the Enterprise crew to aid them in their mission. Captain Spock commands the Enterprise, re-designated as a training vessel, at the beginning of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; Kirk assumes command to chase down Khan Noonien Singh, At the film's end, Spock transfers his katra -- his memories and experience�to McCoy, and then sacrifices himself to save the ship and its crew. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) focuses on his crewmates' mission to recover Spock's body, resurrected by the Genesis Device in the previous film. Spock, who rapidly ages from youth to adulthood, is portrayed by Carl Steven, Vadia Potenza, Stephen Manley, Joe W. Davis, and Nimoy. At the film's conclusion, Spock's revived body is recombined with his katra. Spock is next seen in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, which depicts Spock recovering from the after-effects of his resurrection in the previous film and, in the final scenes, joining the crew of the USS Enterprise-A under Kirk's command. Spock's half-brother, Sybok, hijacks the Enterprise in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

The 2009 Star Trek film creates an "alternate, parallel timeline."In the film, the elderly prime version of Spock (Nimoy) inadvertently travels back in time from the "original" Star Trek timeline and helps an alternate and younger version of himself (Quinto) and Kirk (Chris Pine) thwart the rogue Romulan Nero's (Eric Bana) attempt to destroy the United Federation of Planets. Although Kirk and Spock clash with hostility at Starfleet Academy, they begin developing a friendship.

Kirk and Spock also subsequently befriended the elder Spock.
