Topic: Kirk/Spock "Meeting" at SFA - Temporally & MultiGramatic

Hail Spartacus,

True, that does require an explanation.

One could argue that Spock was an excellent student :)

Additionally, an explanation is provided to account for this in the SFA novel: Crisis on Vulcan, Starfleet Academy No 1.

The Explanation: While accompanying his father on a diplomatic mission, a young Spock met Captain Robert April and more importantly here, First Officer Christopher Pike aboard the Enterprise.

It was purportedly Spock's "positive" meeting with 1st Officer Pike and the Enterprise crew (who easily accepted him as part of their extended family) that led to his decision to go to Starfleet Academy (instead The Vulcan Science Academy).

Not canon of course, but it's an explanation for the Pike/Spock seemingly long-term bond.

Finally, according to www.StarTrek.com, there is no discrepancy issue on the Kirk/Spock SFA attending years, it unambiguosuly states that,

1. Kirk Attended StarFleet Academy: 2250-2254
2. Spock Attended Starfleet Academy: 2249-2253

So, their time there does overlap.

Meaning that if Abrams wants to focus on Kirk-Spock at Starfleet Academy, it's consistent with StarTrek.com's established timeline.

Even so, you may be right, it doesn't mean that Trek XI will be an SFA Kirk-Spock movie.

if you look at the original article at Variety, it doesn't actually state that Trek XI will center on Starfleet Academy with Spock and Kirk _attending_ together.

That was an _assumption_ made after the Variety article on Trek XI largely because the wording is gramatically nebulous and/or misleading, or at least, can be read in several ways.

Though "Kirk-Spock Attending SFA together" is one possible interpretation, it could also be much more literal, meaning that Spock and Kirk simply _run into eachother_/meet on the SFA campus.

(as opposed to centering on them going to school together there at the same time)

Guess we'll 'ave to wait and see what Abrams is cooking.

*pause*

I hate waiting.
