Okay, so I was discussing the differences between Reboot!Spock and TOS!Spock with my husband, and he's pinpointed, at least in my mind, why they are different.
It's Sarek. In The Final Frontier, when presented with his son, he's offended at how human his son is*. However, in the new movie's deleted scenes, Sarek doesn't come off as douche-y and disappointed. Basically, we get a softer, more understanding Sarek.
Why?
My husband started in on this whole 'they went to another reality, the differences don't just start at Nero' bit. Me, I'm like, they fucking created a new reality when Nero popped through. So then I started thinking about what would change Sarek. I then came up with the idea that someone did a time travel thing like when Spock went back in ST:TAS Yesteryear and saved himself. But, I'm thinking it would have to be a human in order to make this version of Sarek as accepting of his son's human side.
Your thoughts?
