- Heartwarming in Hindsight: Spock picked his usual Catchphrase “fascinating” from his human grandmother who showed him everything from feminist literature to how to cook an egg, and was Constantly Curious.
- Heartwarming Moments:
- After the prologue explaining what the book is, the first thing Spock talks about is his mother and how much he loves her.
- Despite all the grief, what Spock remembers most about Michael now that he’s Older and Wiser is how much he loves her.
- Jerkass Woobie: Spock and Amanda’s opinion on Sybok is that for his faults, he was still let down by Vulcan society, and acted out thus.
- Tear Jerker:
- Spock compares Michael and Saavik, as two deeply traumatised people who would often stare out into nothing.
- Spock hasn’t been to see Kirk’s grave, wanting to permit himself one last illusion in life.
- He expresses a lot of regret for Valeris, forcing himself to visit her in prison constantly and surmising that she’s wasted her talents and intelligence in a penal colony.
