My wife, however, also says she remembers it, but she didn't think it was in the "aging" episode. I will take your word for it because I can offer no proof to substantiate my memory.

In that same episode, it was revealed that Spock had entered Starfleet Academy 18 years prior to the episode, which means he and Kirk were attending the Academy at the same time for much if not all of Spock's Academy days.

McCoy's and Scotty's ages were given in TNG. Spock's age was never given in any live-action episode or film, although in the TAS episode "Yesteryear," set around 2269, it was noted that Spock was seven years old thirty years prior to the episode (2239). 2239-7 = 2232. And there you have it. :) But, no, Spock never gave his age directly, nor did any other character give his age. #56 TB

I've been trying to find which episode through the net, but so far, no luck. Someone else may have said it (Dr. McCoy comes to mind), but it’s something I distinctly remember.

Some hints came from the movies, and 'startrek.com' (run by Paramount) & 'memory-alpha.org' give biographies based on these hints from the movies. Startrek.com says that Spock was born in 2230, Kirk in 2233. Memory-alpha.org says Spock was born in 2232 & Kirk in 2233. Startrek.com says that Spock was in the Academy from 2249 to 2253 and Kirk attended from 2250 to 2254. Memory-alpha.org gives the same chronology for Kirk at the Academy, and says that Spock graduated in the early 2250's. The bottom line is that Kirk and Spock COULD have attended the Academy at the same time, but as many have said, we have no idea if the Academy even shows up in this film...and since Chekov is in this, it seems more probable that this is taking place around the TOS era. #47, 48, 53, 54

I recently (ca 2 months ago) watched all the episodes in sequence, and I feel like that's something I'd remember...also, wikipedia has his DOB as 2230 (I can't access Memory Alpha to confirm, though...my work computer's being weird). #53 — I don’t remember him ever having said that.

Sorry, ChucK Amuck, but I'm not sure where you got your information either. In one episode of TOS (don't remember which one--help me out, someone) Spock claims he's seventy or in his seventies, which means he's twice the age of Kirk or around 150-years-old in the TNG episode. The TOS episode may have been the one where everyone ages drastically. (Sorry, I like ST but I'm not a ST trivia geek.) This was the episode where we first learned Vulcans have longer lifespans. #48 “…Kirk was born only one Earth year after Spock…”

On a more serious note, it would be nice to see some clips of Greg Hemphill playing in a drama. But, at least they're hiring a bone fide Scotsman, and not someone half-a**edly attempting the accent. #32 — This clip you posted was pretty funny, even if I couldn’t quite make out everything everybody said (I don’t think I understood one word the guy playing number one said).
