Now, not to get too Trek-geeky, but Trek canon (and please correct us if we’re wrong) states very plainly that Spock’s mother is Amanda Grayson, a human being from our very own planet Earth. So, we’re very intrigued to see how Abrams and his writers, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, are going to explain away the presence of a Vulcan mother – step-mum, perhaps? Foster parent? Does Spock not know at this point who his real mother is? Or are they pulling something a bit more grandiose and revisionist?
Maybe she's Spock's wet nurse....

Yeah, but I'm having visions of Call from ALIEN RESURRECTION (aka River Tam/Kaylee, the beta version) and it's not a good thing
Yeah, but she was an android in that one. This time she'll be a Vulcan!
Which will be different because... Vulcans are all logical, so she'll have to downplay all that annoying emotive stuff....
I'm really hoping that article is wrong. There's a lot of stuff you can change when you're doing a reboot, but I think making Spock completely Vulcan would be pushing it too far. (Assuming they're not making his father human instead.)
Call from ALIEN RESURRECTION (aka River Tam/Kaylee, the beta version)
This is confusing the hell out of me. Please to explain?
Have you seen Alien Resurrection, brenda? It's a bit like Firefly, if you punched Joss in the head before he started writing it.
Have you seen
Alien Resurrection?
Call was the ship's mechanic, right? Plus she, um... was not what she seemed and had special powers (I think) and was really an assassin.
eta: X-posty....
It's the River-Kaylee intersection that's throwing me, I think, because I don't think of them as particularly similar.
Ah. Got it.
The thing that cracks me up about Alien Resurrection is the fact Jayne is in it. You know, he looks a bit different, though. One of Joss's many drafts is on the UK DVD, and it includes even more Jayne jokes.
