Loved this! Very nice job conveying the alienness of Vulcan culture. I also really liked the odd relationship between Spock and Spock Prime, whom I could see doing a lot of things to pave the way for Spock. Things that Spock wouldn't realize he wanted / needed until after the fact. I can see Spock Prime living vicariously through this younger Spock, and taking a great deal of joy in watching the path he takes.

I also love the idea of T'Pau going all weak in the knees at Spock Prime. You totally know it's true...he pwns her and pretty much anyone else he wants to. Because he is. SO. AWESOME. :)
