Added DiffLines:

** The novel clarified that beyond remembering his death and the objective memory of Kirk being his friend, Spock doesn’t have the emotions attached to them yet (until Kirk has his “don’t you have any feelings” outburst, and then he’s upset), and the Vulcans have been teaching him sole logic against his mother’s wishes.

-->'''Kirk''': He… died.
-->'''Gillian''': Then there’s no immortality in your universe, either.
-->'''Kirk''' [sad smile]: No, not for human beings anyway.

* The book packs a surprise punch, as when Kirk wants to time travel to save earth, McCoy reminds him of sometimes they had to make hard choices, and what would the Guardian say. Kirk ''snaps'', yelling that he had to watch Edith Keeler die, “[[https://64.media.tumblr.com/b4e19055ba29976b6c7688edf91f039a/d2d30e2d4d327738-3c/s1280x1920/cea2840edf6351165b40107dd684066f15c3f1c7.jpg someone else I loved die]]”.

Added DiffLines:

* Kirk reminding Spock that "you used to call me Jim" edges into sad territory. Yes, using a nickname rather than his rank would serve a practical purpose as camouflage, but Kirk's expression and tone suggest there's more to it than that; Spock calling him by name [[AffectionateNickname symbolized the depth of their friendship]], and he wants that back.
* Gillian showing a video of whalers killing and tearing apart whales.
--> '''Spock:''' To hunt a race to extinction is not logical. \\
