Star Trek Beyond: 25 Easter Eggs, References & In-Jokes
14. Ambassador Spock
When the Enterprise lands at Yorktown, Spock is met by a sombre Vulcan delegation who hand him a hand-held console confirming the death of Ambassador Spock.
We see a picture of Leonard Nimoy as Zachary Quinto takes the news badly, and it's a very fitting tribute to the dearly departed legend.
Later, Spock and Bones share a conversation about the former's plans to continue the Ambassador's work on New Vulcan, and the way Quinto delivers his lines about the elder Spock are incredibly authentic. The emotion is tangible.
