Star trek beyond target8/30/2023 ![]() ![]() He's calm for most of the entry, but during the Suddenly Shouting part, he sounds so distraught and worn down by everything that's happened to him.I will do whatever it takes for me and my crew. They have some sort of technology that prolongs life. ![]() They left behind sophisticated mining equipment and a drone workforce. I WON'T ALLOW IT! The indigenous race abandoned this planet long ago. Moreover, that Edison hadn't yet used the abandoned technology by the time of his last log entry, and so got to the point of madness and losing his humanity whilst still fully human.Įdison: Captain's log.Like that Edison watched his fellow soldiers and friends die in the Xindi and Romulan wars, only to have his career and profession taken away and be foisted off with an obsolete ship that whilst he still had his humanity, he would no doubt have blamed himself for the deaths of the Franklin's crew because he'd have been the one who chose them that he managed to keep his remaining crew alive for over a century then have both of them die. Although Krall is the Big Bad, when you learn he is actually Balthazar Edison, a lot of things become quite sad.When Krall figures this out, he coerces her into giving it up by threatening to drain Sulu's life and, when she gives it up, Krall repays her by using her as a live target to test his weapon. What's worse is, even though he might not realize it, Kirk is partly responsible for it, as he requested Syl to hide the MacGuffin that Krall wanted when the Enterprise went down. Ensign Syl's gruesome death at Krall's hands.Bones just happens to remind Spock that nobody on the crew would ever leave him behind, no matter how bleak the situation is, and that Spock really should appreciate that fact (though given Spock's reaction, he clearly does). A bit of Fridge Brilliance here, as the last time Spock insisted on being left for dead if it meant saving many lives in the process, it caused quite a amount of grief in his relationships, especially with Kirk and Uhura.He sounds genuinely hurt that Bones might not consider himself friends with Spock. I always assumed my respect for you was clear. In the end, the Enterprise finally succumbs, possibly taking more than half her crew with her.īones: And here I was thinking you cared. This time, Kirk can do nothing but watch her fall apart piece by piece until there's nothing left but her main hull that finally crashes into Altamid. After everything she had gone through in the previous two films, seeing her going down in flames for the final time is heart-wrenching, especially considering that, in Into Darkness, her own captain died saving her and the crew. In addition, those friends and family that he still had left only knew that he went missing in 2387 after failing to save Romulus they never learned of his true fate. He had no real friends or family with him in his final days. Spock Prime died in an alternate universe populated by alternate counterparts of people he knew - similar, but still essentially strangers.There's also the audible waver and slight break in Spock's voice when he says "Ambassador Spock is dead.".Special mention to Spock opening a box of Spock Prime's belongings near the film's end, and finding an old cast photo of the original core seven while a few notes of the TOS theme play in the background.It gets very heavy as Spock later talks about how he intends to live up to his Alternate Self's legacy and take up his work with the Vulcans, very likely channeling Zachary Quinto's own feelings on Nimoy with whom he bonded over the course of filming the previous two films, and now has to carry on the role of Spock in his place. Spock learning about the death of his older counterpart, drenched in the Reality Subtext of Leonard Nimoy's death.Though he never got the chance to meet his dad, Kirk clings to the memory of who he was (and indirectly, Pike as well, given that he knew his dad well). Then Kirk says that his father joined Starfleet because he believed in it, while he "joined on a dare", even if that's no longer his reason for doing so. specifically, a year older than his dad ever got to be. When Bones joins Kirk for his birthday, the latter muses that he's a year older.He lived a very long, and very prosperous life. He remained there until his passing in 2263. He wound up being sent back in time to the year 2258, the new Kelvin timeline accidentally created by Nero in 2233, that is. Spock lived in the prime reality until the year 2387, when he was pulled into the singularity that absorbed a galaxy-consuming supernova. ![]() Don't be fooled by the stardates note Despite what his obituary states, Spock died at approximate age of 162. ![]()
