sea trooper 0 Posted September 11, 2003 I was thinking along with Pirate Elf, and I thought "What if T'Pol was Spock's mother? They're both Vulcans aren't they? and since she was on the Enterprise, maybe thats why Spock is on it." We've never thought of that before. So I decided to hear your thoughts about it.

Spock's mother is Amanda Grayson married to Sarek, a Vulcan diplomat. This is why Spock is half Vulcan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps they are cousins? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted September 11, 2003 Actually we have discussed before the possibility that T'Pol could be Spocks grandmother. We have never been told who Sarek's mother was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klingonmike 0 Posted September 11, 2003 But we have to figure out how old Spock is during TOS,since Vulcans live longer than humans then it might not be possible for T'Pol to be his grandmother. 100 years is not a long lifespan for Vulcans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyNarana 0 Posted September 11, 2003 (edited) Vulcans reach an age of sexual maturity in their late twenties-early thirties by most estimates I've heard. If Spock is 35 (his first pon farr is during the first five year mission!), and his father was 40, and HIS mother was 40, Enterprise would have to take place 115 years before TOS. These are conservative estimates, I think. Of course, do we ever hear the TOP age Vulcans are fertile? That could affect these dates, too. Another thought - are all Vulcan children seven years apart in age, d'ya think? And I've never heard of Vulcan twins/triplets, etc. Edited September 11, 2003 by LadyNarana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spock can't be very old in TOS because Amanda, a human is his mother. According to the "Star Trek Chronology" I have Spock was born in 2230, 3 years before Kirk. So if Kirk is 34 in TOS spock is 37. Sarek was born in 2165, which is only 12 years away from the current timeline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted September 11, 2003 Sarek was born in 2164 or 65, so unless T'Pol married Sokar, or whatever Sarek's father's name is, I doubt she's related to Spock. Perhaps she's the Vulcan that the city of "T'Pol" is named after, as mentioned by Tuvok in "Unimatrix Zero, Part II"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps she's the Vulcan that the city of "T'Pol" is named after, as mentioned by Tuvok in "Unimatrix Zero, Part II"? That's the question we don't know the answer to, will she marry Skon? Or at least have a child with him. As for Sarek's birth date, like I said above it was 2165 so T'Pol could be his mother (Sarek's mother). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
