Mia Kirshner and Winona Ryder as Amanda Grayson in Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek (2009), respectively.
Amanda Grayson's recurring role in Star Trek: Discovery redeemed everything that JJ Abrams' Star Trek got wrong about her character. Amanda began as a motherly and loving character who was written to provide warmth to Spock's steely exterior. In the Star Trek: The Original Series season 2 episode "Journey to Babel," human teacher Amanda Grayson was introduced to audiences for the first time as Spock's mother, alongside Spock's father, her Vulcan husband Sarek .
What J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Got Wrong About Spock's Mom Amanda Grayson Amanda Grayson was just Spock's mom in Star Trek's first reboot film Close JJ Abrams' Star Trek ended a 7-year hiatus from Star Trek films after Star Trek: Nemesis premiered in 2002. The movie ushered in a new era of Star Trek and introduced new actors playing beloved characters such as Captain James T. Kirk , Commander Spock , and Lieutenant Nyota Uhura .
However, Amanda Grayson only appears in a few scenes in Star Trek , and she never appears without either Sarek or Spock. Despite being kind and loving, Amanda is not seen as much other than Spock's mother, who gives him a distinctly human upbringing while being raised on Vulcan. Even a deleted scene featuring Amanda and Sarek only depicts the birth of Spock on Vulcan.
When considering screen time, Star Trek: Discovery comes out on top regarding Amanda's character. More time on screen allowed Kirshner to develop a nuanced, complex, and interesting character rather than a simple plot device to further Spock's narrative. Amanda is tenacious, headstrong, and stubborn. Instead of only being motherly, warm, and empathetic, Star Trek: Discovery's Amanda fights for her children.
