Star Trek (2009) & Vulcan Polygamy SPOILERS

[BarkingGhost]

Ok, so the wife and I watched Start Trek again for about the fourth time since we bought the Blu-ray.

At the end, Spock Prime tells Spock that he has found a planet for which the remaining people of Vulcan can colonize. Being a troublemaker, I thought, aloud, about how the Vulcan people could rapidly bring their numbers up so that the Vulcan way of life can be quickly replenished. Polygamy.

And while Spock can now afford to be in two places at one time, he (Spock, not Spock Prime) will not get to partake in the daily ritual of forced sex. The odd man out isn't the no-sex Spock, but rather Spock Prime spreading his Vulcan seeds of wisdom Thumbs Up amongst the Vulcan women.

But in the original time line it is a notion that extremely few Vulcans bread outside their own species. And with few native examples for which to begin the sexy task at hand, do they dilute their species by bringing in non-Vulcan genes, or do they clone and bread therein?

Either way you look at it it is bound to be a case that the best policy is to take samples from Romulus, as their next best kinship, and try to tame the savage Romulan beast from within.

All I can say is I ain't about to get into marriage consoling on New Vulcan. Then again, maybe they'll test-tube their future population.
