Spock\\nReflections.

By the time The Undiscovered Country rolled around, Spock was a\\nwise "old" man who had learned to balanced logic with emotion and\\nintuition. We saw a further evolution of this on The Next\\nGeneration in "Unification." And by the time we met Spock in an icy\\ncave the 2009 J.J. Abrams Star Trek, well, he was very wise indeed.\\nBut how did he get there when we\'ve seen so many other Vulcans\\nnever come close? The explanation might just lie in comic form.

In this episode of Literary Treks, Matthew Rushing and\\nChristopher Jones explore IDW\'s four-part Spock Reflections series\\nby Scott & David Tipton to find out what events not shown\\nonscreen influenced Spock\'s understanding of human friendship and\\nillogical problem solving. Unseen moments from his childhood on\\nVulcan, post-Amok Time encounters with T\'Pring, mentoring Saavik,\\nand secret missions with Pike all played a roll in getting Spock to\\nwhere we eventually find him. And it all centers around a touching\\ncoda to Star Trek Generations.
