Vulcan Mother of Spock?? Spock's Mom was Human...Amanda if I remember the character's name correctly...played by Jane Wyatt...so if she is Vulcan in the new timeline...are they going to switch it up and make Sarek a Human?

It does seem a bit strange. Perhaps, Paramount and Abrams are doing away with the half-human aspect of Spock.

Or maybe in their rush to "break" this casting news Variety forgot to check out all of the other facts.

I weep for the future of the Star Trek franchise.

She's a great actress, but too close in age to Quinto (un less it's a flashback to when Spock was younger)

Gee, I guess Spock's mother got pregnant in high school!...And his mom is a shoplifter, to boot! It's just like one dem dose Lifetime, the channel for women, movies! Now all they have to do is make his father an addict / dead-beat dad and Lifetime will run it five times a day! It's LIfetime gold I tells ya!

Sarek had serveral wifes. Was there by any chance at leat one Vulcan stepmother for Spock? Maybe the 'Vulcan' before 'mother' is only a mistake by the reporter.

biggsguy • Nov 09, 2007, 05:02am •
Let's not forget Sybok!!!! What about his mother? Maybe they can get Carrie Fisher for that part.

Oh, and I still want to know who will play the Yeoman!

THE STAR TREK WEBSITE SAYS THAT SHE IS PLAYING AMANDA GRAYSON AND IT IS PROBABLY A FLASHBACK SCENCE YOU MORONS OR THEY MAY AGE HER. THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT YOU IDIOTS NOT REAL LIFE. IM SO GLAD JJ IS KEEPING HIS PLOT A SECRECT BECAUSE FANBOYS ARE A-HOLES IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. THEY OPEN THEIR BIG MOUTHS TO RUIN A PROJECT THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. IT IS ANNOYING. GET THE FACTS BEFORE YOU CUT LOOSE. ASSUMING ANYTHING IS A LOW FORM OF KNOWLEDGE. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS. GO TO A STRIP CLUB SEE SOME REAL ASS FOR A CHANGE. STOP GOING TO THE COMIC BOOK STORE AND KISSING THE MANAGERS ASS FOR A MARVEL LEGENDS VARIANT DEADPOOL. GET A LIFE. RESPONDING TO THIS MADNESS MAKES ME FEEL STRANGE.
