Data seems to have a way of summing things up pretty well.

The 2 most logical men ever, live long and prosper!

Spock is a half alien so it's expected he lives longer than humans. McCoy has replacement parts all over the place. Sulu's tea really helped. Rand is dead, Chekov, and uhura are dead. Scotty and Kirk made it through some external factor. (kirk died 10 minutes being in the 24th century) :(

An interesting point. There has been little hope and much indulgence over the last decade.My hope is that having a "mut" in the White House will be a reminder of IDIC "The glory of creation is in it's infinite diversity" "And the ways our differences combine to create meaning and beauty" (Miranda & Spock from 'Is There in Truth No Beauty?')Over the next few years everyone will need to do some soul searching, and Star Trek will always be there to ask the big questions.Peace

In effect Data has spent his whole life searching for a place Spock can never leave. Fascinating indeed.

spock might not have lived as long as his father because he was part human like lorien the son of trip tucker and tpol from enterprise.

Maybe, but it feels cheap. Almost like they wanted to bring the old crew back from the grave. It's completely understandable that the TNG crew might meet some of the old crew in a roundabout way, but I bet they've met half a galaxy's worth of people - well, possibly. Spock was my favorite guy in the old episodes, and data is my favorite in TNG. It's odd to me that they both seem antithetical. Still, they're both logical and highly value analytical thought - that's why I like them.
