Spock is the son of Vulcan ambassador Sarek (originally played by Mark Lenard) and human Amanda Grayson (originally played by Jane Wyatt).[1] The relationship between Spock and Sarek often is turbulent, although rooted in an underlying respect and carefully restrained love for each other.[642-072] Their falling out began when Spock declined an offer to study at the prestigious Vulcan Science Academy and instead joined Starfleet against his father's wishes. |
