Spock came face to face with his Prime Universe counterpart in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies, but this wasn't the first time Spock had met his double.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Two different versions of Spock came face to face in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek , but that was not the first time Spock had met his own doppelganger. In Star Trek: The Original Series and its subsequent films, Captain James T. Kirk met alternate versions of himself on multiple occasions.
After the conclusion of Star Trek: The Original Series in 1969, the series soon became popular in syndication, prompting Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry to continue the adventures of the USS Enterprise crew in an animated series. Star Trek: The Animated Series began in 1973 and ran for two seasons, with most of the original cast returning to voice their respective characters. TAS had a few Star Trek firsts and introduced several concepts that later Trek shows have referenced.
Spock's giant clone is not referenced again until nearly 50 years later, in Star Trek: Lower Decks season 2, episode 2, "Kayshon, His Eyes Open." When Ensign Brad Boimler and his friends visit the ship of a collector, they encounter the giant skeleton of Spock 2. Displayed hanging from the ceiling like a whale skeleton in a museum, Spock Two's remains still wore the tattered remnants of a Starfleet uniform.
2 Spocks Meeting In Star Trek 2009 Was Different From Kirk In 1 Way Every time Captain Kirk met his doppelgangers, whether as a transporter duplicate or an android clone, the meeting ended in a fight. With his significant ego and tendency to take action, it's not particularly surprising that two Kirks meeting would result in a brawl. To be fair to Kirk, though, he had rather bad luck with his doubles, as they generally tried to trick him or take his place.
Ambassador Spock offers his younger self advice, urging him to remain in Starfleet and "do what feels right" rather than what is logical. It took decades for Prime Spock to come to the conclusion that "logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end," but the young Spock is at the very beginning of that journey. In Star Trek Into Darkness, Quinto's Spock would call on his Prime universe counterpart again for advice on how to defeat the villainous Khan Noonien-Singh .
