One of the things that surprised me first time I watched the reboot of Star Trek was the deep heartache I felt for Spock Prime. Seriously, the movie’s shinny and the new crew are crazy pretty, but every time the movie ends, my thoughts linger on Prime. (this is by far the most depressing graph I have ever created.)
- Years lived (so far): 157
- Years knowing Jim: 28
- Years trying to forget Jim: 3
- Years spent as Space Husbands: 20
- Years spent alone, carrying a holographic message of Jim on a pendant around his neck: 94
I am not crying…
Reblogging this because it arrived in my askbox in response to my question about what makes us so sad about Spock Prime. I mentioned this in a roundabout way when I was writing but seeing it in a graph like that really drives it home that he really didn’t know Jim all that long during the course of his extremely long life.
*SOB*
and this is why I want Spock Prime/nuKirk because they both need to be happy together
