“Amok Time” has a built-in explanation for why Spock didn’t react to how similar the events of T’Pring’s kal-if-fee were to this dream in Strange New Worlds. Spock was in the grip of pon farr-derived madness and he wasn’t acting rationally. It was the shock of ritual combat and Spock believing he killed Kirk, his Captain and best friend, that snapped him out of pon farr and returned him to normal. But once Spock regained his wits, he must have silently taken stock that he dreamed virtually this entire scenario almost beat-for-beat in 2259 and his younger self’s nightmare came true.
Spock rendered irrational by pon farr in “Amok Time” also sheds new light on how the Vulcan Science Officer reacted to Nurse Christine Chapel (Majel Barrett) in the episode. “Spock Amok” established that Spock and Chapel (Jess Bush) became friends in Strange New Worlds, and he came to Christine for help when his mind was accidentally placed in T’Pring’s body. It also means that Chapel knew all about T’Pring years before Captain Kirk took over the Enterprise and they apparently never spoke about Spock’s fiancée to others on Kirk’s ship. Further, because Spock’s dream in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds came true in TOS‘ “Amok Time,” it makes the disappointment Spock felt about T’Pring’s actions even more poignant. Further, Spock and T’Pring’s happy ending in “Spock Amok” becomes sadly ominous knowing what the future will bring.
