Spock quotes from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Una Chin-Riley

I would never tell you not to hope. I want Chapel to be alive, too.

Spock

Things did not end well between us. We were in a fight. All things that seem trivial in the face of death. I wish to apologize to her.

La'an Noonien Singh

You had quite a bit of cash to lose from the cancellation of The Last Frontier, didn't you?

I had three clients on that show. You do the math. But I didn't kill Tony Hart, though I wish I had.

La'an Noonien Singh

And why is that?

Because cancelling The Last Frontier is the stupidest thing Tony's ever done. Do you realize how rare a show like this is? TK wanted to give audiences a digestible reflection of their own world through the lens of fantasy. Social commentary with rubber masks and buried metaphors. You know, science fiction.

Spock

And the studio did not agree with this vision.

They were more cautious. Didn't want to make waves. The cowards. TK wanted Frontier to take our rotten world with its warts and injustices and give audiences something better.

La'an Noonien Singh

And all of that with weekly space adventures?

You don't find the idea inspiring? You don't think some kid out there is going to see this show and spend the rest of their life searching the stars? You don't think a person can love a piece of art or music or a story so much that it heals them, shows them parts of themselves they've never even seen before, and give them hope?

La'an Noonien Singh

You know, of course I do.

A show like this could have gone on forever. Given generations of fans a place to feel seen, to belong, something to believe in again, no matter who they were or where they came from. But you can't do any of that without a season two.

My mom was fond of an expression -- "The dog who caught the car." Now that I've finally latched onto one, I have no idea what to do with it.

Spock

On Vulcan, we have a similar expression -- "The Selat who ate its tail." Though I would point out you have a significant leg up over a quadrupedal beast: your human intuition. It has guided us this far; we are all still here. I recommend you keep following it.

Pelia

I suppose I can direct you from the bridge. Five Vulcans should be more than enough down there.

Four. And one half.

Chapel

Spock is only half-Vulcan, whereas the four of us...

Spock

Are fully Vulcan.

La'An

Is that not logical, Spock?

Spock

Indeed, it is.

Pull on this finger?

Spock

That is correct.

Spock

And then, flatulence.
