Star Trek: 10 Times Spock Abandoned Logic

10. Spock’s Love Life

Spock’s first and possibly longest-lasting love was T’Pring, with whom he had an arranged relationship at age seven. In Amok Time, Pon Farr had overtaken the first officer and he had eight days to mate or he would die. However, the son of Sarek had become something of a celebrity on Vulcan and that wasn’t something that T’Pring wanted. She invoked kal-if-fee, the right for her betrothed to fight for her, and Kirk was chosen as her champion.

Christine Chapel was assigned to the Starship Enterprise in 2259 as part of the medical staff. Her open and gregarious nature was a contrast to Spock’s quiet and stoic controlled one. When the pirate Angel took over the Enterprise in The Serene Squall, the First Officer and the Nurse had to fake a relationship to prevent T’Pring from releasing Angel’s lover.

In the Kelvin Universe, Spock and Lt. Nyota Uhura had a strong if occasionally strained relationship. In Star Trek (2009), Uhura openly consoled her Captain after the death of his planet and mother and he looked at her with shame when he lost control on the bridge. Uhura became angry with her Vulcan boyfriend in Star Trek Into Darkness when she thought he was going to sacrifice his life with no thought of her but he assured her that she was paramount in his thoughts.
