So now that the planet has been extinguished, it&#8217;s kind of interesting. Can Spock mate with a non-Vulcan?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Saldana thought that given the destruction of most of the Vulcan race, Spock might need to find a Vulcan female instead of Uhura to help perpetuate the species, because any children that Uhura and Spock might have would only be one-quarter Vulcan. &#8220;I&#8217;m not a Vulcan,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Now there&#8217;s no Vulcan planet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"512\" height=\"319\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"configParams=vid%3D507647%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A507647\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/media.mtvnservices.com\/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:507647\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"512\" height=\"319\" src=\"http:\/\/media.mtvnservices.com\/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:507647\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" flashvars=\"configParams=vid%3D507647%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A507647\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0pt; text-align: center; width: 500px; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"><a style=\"color: #439cd8;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mtv.com\/movies\/trailer_park\/\" target=\"_blank\">Movie Trailers<\/a> &#8211; <a style=\"color: #439cd8;\" href=\"http:\/\/moviesblog.mtv.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Movies Blog<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the questions regarding\u00a0 Star Trek XII concerns the Spock-Uhura romance and where, if&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413,2401],"tags":[2410,2412,2411],"class_list":["post-8956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","category-star-trek-xi","tag-saldana","tag-spock","tag-uhura"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-xi\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: XI<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: XI","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8956"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8956\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8961,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8956\/revisions\/8961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
