Review:  Spock has the opportunity, granted to him by Q, to choose between the Prime Universe and his own.  He makes the only logical choice available to him.

Even if Spock/Uhura isn't your cup of tea - and it isn't particularly one of mine - you should consider giving this one a try.  I liked how Yahtzee contrasted the relationships that Spock has in the two universes, the biggest difference being his romance with Uhura; the scene in which Reboot!Uhura asks him to remember the aspects of her life that she no longer will is as poignant as it should be.  (Not a spoiler, btw - everyone in Reboot just assumes that Spock couldn't possibly pick a universe with his mother and Vulcan gone.)  Spock's eventual decision is as logical as we love the character to be... and the fact that he's figured out what Q's plotting is icing on the cake.
