"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
The Autobiography of Spock / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Deconstructed. Spock becomes his own man very early into his career and holds his father at arms length but wishes they could still have a form of friendship. Their differing personalities and politics means that the rift between them is never fully healed. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
The Autobiography of Spock / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Spock's family was targeted by the Logic Extremists because Sarek was married to a human woman with an adopted human child as well as half-human son. Spock glosses over what he experienced as a boy on Vulcan but makes it clear that once he knew about Michael's rejection from the science academy on the grounds of her human heritage, he wanted nothing further to do with the Vulcan Expeditionary Force or Science Academy. | |

Canon Discontinuity: As with the other novels, it does not fit the continuity of the Star Trek Novelverse. This is actually a case where it contradicts with the The Autobiography of James T. Kirk as that book made the claim Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was just an in-universe movie. The events of said movie clearly happened here. | |

Common Knowledge: In-universe, as is common with later official books, Spock calls out the notion that Kirk was recklessly brash, lucky and slept around, bringing up Tarsus and how the trauma of that contributed to Kirk’s Samaritan Syndrome, how he was Married to the Job, and only lost it a few times; the argument in the sixth movie, seeing Spock die, and seeing Spock swim with whales. In her notes, the editor actually brings up the “Kirk Drift” essay. | |
