Captain Kirk disobeying orders Starfleet, hijacked the Enterprise and returned Spock's body to Volcano, where in one of the temples, with the help of a special ritual, Spock's spiritual component - katra - was connected to his body. After his resurrection, Spock underwent an accelerated officer training program. Starfleet and was restored to the rank of commander, and the amnesia that tormented him soon passed.

In 2286, Spock transferred to the new Enterprise NCC-1701-A as first officer, while retaining the rank of captain. During the starship's five-year mission, he took part in a journey to the center of the Milky Way (see Star Trek V: The Final Frontier).

After the explosion of the Klingon moon Praxis in 2291 Spock's father Sarek attracted him to participate in negotiations between United Federation of Planets And Klingon Empire. During negotiations aboard the Enterprise, Klingon Chancellor Gorkon was killed. The Klingons blamed Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy, who were arrested by Klingon authorities. Spock took command of the starship and forcibly freed them from captivity. Spock subsequently became a key figure in the formation of a long-lasting alliance with the Klingon Empire (see Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) and developed a long-lasting friendship with the Romulan Chancellor Pardek.

After the decommissioning of the Enterprise NCC-1701-A, Spock retired from the Navy and focused his efforts on diplomacy, and virtually nothing is known about the next 70-75 years of his life. (At least Spock does not appear in events involving Starfleet.) He is supposed to have gotten married: Captain Jean-Luc Picard once said he attended a wedding son of Sarek. This may not have been Spock's first marriage - his wife T'Pring appears in the first episode of the second season (but the wedding ceremony was not completed).
In 2368 - already during the events of the series "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Spock was the Federation ambassador to Romulus(central planet of the Romulan Empire).

History of creation

Spock was originally intended to be a Martian. His skin was supposed to be red and he was supposed to absorb electricity. But they decided to abandon this, deciding that a more humane character would be more interesting to the audience. They also abandoned Spock's Martian roots. The creators of the series believed that the beginning of expeditions to Mars would make such an origin unscientific.

Spock is the only character to appear not only in all 79 episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series, but also in the pilot episode "The Cage".

Cultural influence

• Spock is the idol of the main character of the television series The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper.
• In the movie "Boomerang" main character calls Spock's last name Jenkins.
• In the series Doctor Who, the Doctor's companion Rose asks the Doctor to be at least a little like Spock. (Season 1, episode 9, The Empty Child)

• For a long time, fans of the epic believed that Spock was the first Vulcan to serve in Starfleet. However, the plot of the series Star Trek: Enterprise refutes this assumption. However, there is no reason to doubt that Spock was the first Vulcan to undergo training in Starfleet Academy.
• From the events of the film "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" it becomes known that Spock does not like Italian food.
• Spock, unlike other Vulcans, drinks alcohol and prefers brandy and bourbon.
• Asteroid #2309 , bearing the name "Spock", is indirectly related to the character Star Trek: The asteroid was named after its discoverer's cat, who in turn was named after Spock from Star Trek.
• Spock's famous gesture (fingers interlocked in pairs) is a slightly modified (two-handed) ritual blessing performed by a kohen, a priest in Judaism.

Eared Vulcan of the Nordic type. Now, when information flows are off the charts, the choice of films, ideas and prototypes to follow is growing exponentially, and Hollywood offers more and more new types every year, it is difficult to imagine the excitement that was going on in the heads of fans of star epics of the late 20th century. Mr. Spock, paradoxically, satisfied everyone. A creature with a constant, although not obvious, internal conflict, pointed ears and strangely colored skin. A reason for constant jokes and admiration. A striking example of how logic can conflict with generally accepted morality. People like him - assuming, of course, that he is a man - in real life love is impossible. Meticulous bores, workaholic enthusiasts on the verge of misanthropy, absolutely not understanding what ordinary human feelings are.

Spock is half Vulcan, half human, who grew up in a world where any display of emotion was considered bad manners and was resolutely suppressed. The rational side of his personality, which is stronger, naturally suppresses the emotional human side. But, despite all his outward coldness, he experiences human feelings, which he pushes deeper inside himself, and at some point they threaten to burst out in a blinding flash. This dramatic, complex personality with an intellect beyond the limits of an earthling could have remained an earth-like, inarticulate robot, if not for one detail. Ears! These beautiful Spock ears reconciled the viewer with any tediousness of the Star Trek character. Neither his strict hairstyle nor his stony expression could do anything to counter the crushing charm of his pointed ear. It’s not for nothing that most of the girls I know, when asked: “Why do you love Mr. Spock?” They answer in admiring chorus: “Of course, for the ears!”

Spock's calmness and intelligence perfectly written by the scriptwriters and superbly conveyed by actor Leonard Nimoy, also form the basis of the worldwide admiration for this character. The long-standing dream of scientists and utopians to separate reason from emotion found a unique embodiment in the mentality of the inhabitants of the planet Vulcan. The way Mr. Spock's brain works is that, thanks to national philosophy and martial arts training, the Vulcan brain does not reproduce emotions, which obviously slows down the brain. common man not only in extreme situations where concentration is needed, but also in a relaxed state. Following the matrix of the rational society of the planet Vulcan embedded in him makes Spock an ideal scientist, researcher, and strategist. Sherlock Holmes would agree with Spock's approach to mental activity. Only, together with unnecessary rubbish information, Spock freed the “attic of his brain” from the ashes of emotions. But Spock is half Earthling. And, of course, he has a tendency towards emotionality. And therefore it is doubly interesting to watch how it manifests itself in this discreet

logical being. Moreover, from film to film - more and more.

Mr. Spock was played by two people: Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto. And you can accuse me of bias as much as you like, but my opinion will remain unchanged. Zachary Quinto was nowhere near the image that Nimoy created. Trying to play the, scary to say, sexy Spock gives me some kind of shock. Leonard Nimoy wrote in his book I Am Spock that it was a complete surprise to him that so many women found Spock sexy. However, after thinking, he came to the logical conclusion that everything inaccessible seems attractive to women. Especially when that “something” is an intelligent, reserved, cold-blooded man with a warm heart. And not flaunting his unconventional sexual orientation sweet guy. Although, probably, the director still proceeds from the image that attracts the audience. And if the need of the bulk of the audience has become the pumped-up cutie Spock, and the unbreakable sense of humor of the previous image remains unclaimed, perhaps this is not entirely the director’s fault. But I really miss Nimoy's ironic restraint now. Sexuality is probably not what you'd expect from an intellectual Vulcan. And, of course, this was played out superbly in the early episodes. Spock and the women were really funny.

Of course, you shouldn’t put all your love for “Star Trek” on the personal account of one character.But, of course, its role in the popularity of the project is extremely large. As mentioned above, Star Trek could exist without Spock.But it would be a completely different Star Trek. And it’s not a fact that it’s just as popular.

Star Trek: The Next Generation, as well as the following feature films:

The crater Spock on Charon is named in his honor.

Biography

Spock was born in Earth year 2230 on the planet Vulcan to the Vulcan family Sarek and his Earthling wife Amanda Grayson. Spock himself considered himself a full-fledged Vulcan, however internal conflict on the basis of dual origin, it periodically made itself felt. He has green blood and blood type T-negative.

Spock had a brother, Sybok, who eschewed logic and was expelled from Vulcan for such “heresy” (he was killed in the feature film “Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier”). Spock also had a half-sister, Michael Burnham ( main character series Star Trek: Discovery released in 2017).

In 2267, Spock was inducted into the Vulcan Scientific Legion of Honor and qualified as an A7 computer specialist.

It is known that Spock became the first Vulcan to begin a career in Starfleet, despite the objections of his father, who wanted his son to attend the Vulcan Science Academy. However, Spock, having become interested in the computers that were equipped with Starfleet starships, decided differently, and when Captain Christopher Pike offered him a place on the starship Enterprise, Spock happily agreed. He was assigned personal number S179-276. Like most Vulcans, Spock is a vegetarian and does not drink, but he enjoys Romulan ale.

Spock served under Captain Pike for almost eleven years. According to a number of sources, during this time he was promoted to lieutenant and then to lieutenant commander.

Under the command of the Enterprise's next captain, James Tiberius Kirk, Spock served on the Enterprise in two capacities simultaneously: as first mate and as science officer. In Earth year 2267, Spock receives the rank of commander. And three years later, in 2270, Spock returned to Vulcan to study the discipline of “kolinahr”.

In 2271, Spock returned to Starfleet and was reinstated to service with the rank of commander and research fellow on the starship Enterprise.

During the Widger Crisis, in which First Mate Williard Dekker was killed, Spock resumed his post as first officer, which he combined with the position of research assistant.

A few years later, Spock was promoted to captain and appointed captain of the Enterprise, while Captain Kirk was promoted to admiral and transferred to Starfleet headquarters. In 2285, Spock, according to the orders of Starfleet headquarters, temporarily ceded the captain's chair to Admiral Kirk for the starship's participation in the study of strange events at the Regula scientific station (the film "Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan"), which ended in a battle with Khan Noonien Singh . In this battle, Spock dies while saving the Enterprise.

However, Spock's biography does not end there. Before his death, Spock, using Vulcan knowledge, transferred his "katra" - spiritual essence - to Doctor McCoy. Spock’s body, after a cosmic funeral, ended up on the Genesis planet and, due to its characteristics, returned to life (the film “Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock”).

Captain Kirk, disobeying orders from Starfleet, hijacked the Enterprise and returned Spock's body to Vulcan, where in one of the temples, with the help of a special ritual, Spock's spiritual component - katra - was connected to his body. After his resurrection, Spock underwent an accelerated Starfleet officer training program and was reinstated to the rank of commander, and the amnesia that tormented him soon disappeared.

In 2286, Spock transferred to the new Enterprise NCC-1701-A as first officer, while retaining the rank of captain. During the starship's five-year mission, he took part in a trip to the center of the Milky Way (the film "Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier").

After the explosion of the Klingon moon Praxis in 2291, Spock's father Sarek recruited him to participate in negotiations between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire. Upon arriving at his ship after negotiations aboard the Enterprise, Klingon Chancellor Gorkon was killed. The Klingons blamed Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy, who were arrested by Klingon authorities. Spock took command of the starship and forcibly freed his colleagues from captivity. Spock subsequently became a key figure in the formation of a long-lasting alliance with the Klingon Empire (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) and began a long-lasting friendship with the Romulan Chancellor Pardek.

After the decommissioning of the Enterprise NCC-1701-A, Spock retired from the Navy and focused his efforts on diplomacy, and virtually nothing is known about the next seventy to seventy-five years of his life - Spock does not appear in events involving Starfleet. It is assumed that he married, since one day the captain
