Spock vs. what he knows and ethics
By cdydatzigs

Quote:
Elder Spock's love reportedly braves all risk in time-travel combat to save his soul brother, but then he neglects to offer a simple "Oh, by the way..." heads-up about Kirk's upcoming murder?

Can we even say that Spock knows about Kirk "making it" to the 24th century in the Nexus ribbon at all? Canon in the Star Trek universe is anything that appears on screen, or comes from the people responsible for what is on screen. So that begs two very important questions:

(1) After Picard buried Kirk on the mountain top, can we say for certain he told anyone Kirk had been there once he was picked up by the shuttle?

(2) If Picard indeed reported to Starfleet that Kirk had came back with him, then perished on Veridian III -- can we say for sure that Starfleet didn't keep this information classified?

My point is this, we don't know what Spock knows. Unless we see an admission on screen by a character that the real death of Kirk occured on Veridian III in 2371, we have to assume then that the 24th century public still believes that he died saving the Enterprise-B - backed up by Riker's line, "That's the mission where Jim Kirk was killed."

Needless to say, we don't know that Spock has any idea that his friend Jim Kirk died only 14 years earlier on Veridian III. As far as he has concerned, he died in 2293, saving the Enterprise-B -- and surely you wouldn't expect him to warn young Kirk that he will die 30 years later on the 'B', so he best let Herriman go to deflector control or not even show up for the launch period. That would be a severe altering to the timeline...
