Star Trek XI<\/em>‘s Zachary Quinto<\/strong> speculates on the future of Spock in Star Trek 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

With the destruction of Vulcan in Star Trek XI<\/em>, there will be pressure on Spock to help his race. “I would imagine (this is just speculative),” said Quinto, “his planet’s been destroyed, he feels a real imperative to rebuild his race. But he’s in love with a human. There’s probably some potential conflict in that dynamic, I would not be surprised, and I would be intrigued and excited by that if that were the case.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Quinto trusts the writers when it comes to Spock and where the character (and his romance) will go in Star Trek 2<\/em>. “I have such implicit trust in all of those guys: Damon, Bob and Alex, and J.J.,” he said. “I feel like they’re going to take us where we need to go. And we’re going to follow them whole-heartedly.”<\/p>\n

But what about the Spock-Uhura romance? Will it survive? “I do think [so],” said Quinto. “I don’t see how they could just drop it. It may be fraught, I don’t know!”<\/p>\n

Spock will feel the need to help when it comes to rebuilding the Vulcan race. “He’s not the only Vulcan, I think I said, ‘Of my planet’s nearly six billion inhabitants, approximately ten thousand have survived,'” said Quinto. “He’s not the only one. But the odds aren’t great. He has a bit of a cultural imperative to [help].<\/p>\n

“I think he’s going to spend a lot more time doing the logical thing. Which is to help repopulate, help support, and help rebuild the race of people. His father was full Vulcan, and he has a responsibility there, and he loves his father very much.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
