Second on the film: I hope there is a trilogy where at the conclusion they are able to restore Vulcan and/or the time line. Technically the nova hasn’t happened yet, and there is time to save Romulus.

Since the timeline has been altered, his knowledge of the “future” in that timeline is limited to events we presume to be common to both timelines.

The question then becomes, where would Spock Prime draw the ethical line in providing assistance which might alter the “future” ? My position on that is one based upon a perception of Spock I have developed over 3 decades of fandom. I feel that, since the wildcard villain from the future has been dispatched and a degree of balance restored, he will not further interefere in matters for which he knows his young friends to be capable of finding solutions. I believe that, like a good parent, Spock Prime will not handicap them by providing them with the answers to puzzles he knows will ultimately contribute to who they are as individuals, should they actually work to find them on their own.

I don’t think there is any need for further resolution to Spock Prime’s story….For once, let’s just allow the old man to ride off into the sunset. If any character is deserving of that, should it not be the one who was there from the beginning (and my own personal favorite)? I think so.

Why?
