thinks he can explore a Spock with doubts and inner struggles without the 
mixed-race angle?

Yeah, I caught that later. I hadn't realized he did that...Has anyone that is 
making this movie actually seen Star Trek?? Or, like BSG, did they switch 
genders of the mom and pop??? Please at least tell me they made the father 
human...I mean, how else are you going to have a Vulcan who is half human??????

Ryder will be. of course, Vulcans age very slowly, so i guess that could work
the real issue is why is his mom no longer human?

Remember that Mark Leonard, the actor who played spock's father was was only 3 
years older than Leonard Nimoy...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: okay, it's official: Abrams has lost his mind. The 
whole cornerstone of Spock was his half-human/half-Vulcan nature. it was at the 
core of his struggles. Why the hell change that? What are we gaining by this?
And why get an actress basically the same age as the guy planning her son?

I am very confused.
