In data 5373.4 assume l'identità di Essarek, un lontano cugino, per salvare la versione giovane di se stesso durante il suo
katchuan (

- Tra i possibili interpreti di Spock era stato contattato anche Martin Landau (il comandante Koenig di Space:1999), che ha rifiutato perché ha ritenuto che l'impedimento di mostrare emozioni sia limitativo per un attore.
- Il secondo nome di Spock non è pronunciabile, come dice Spock stesso in This Side of Paradise. Secondo l'Officer's Manual (probabilmente per un'idea di Dorothy Fontana) il secondo nome di Spock è Xtmprszntwlfd, pronunciato in sei sillabe.
- Secondo questo romanzo, il secondo nome di Spock è S'chin T'gai. [Ishmael]

Kirk: We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet, it should be noted, that in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world, a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human. [
Star Trek II]
Spock: We must acknowledge once and for all that the purpose of diplomacy is to prolong a crisis. [T:06:59] [
