Yeah, even though it's blurry, the hair and the clothes make me believe that's Ben Cross who plays Sarek in the film.

Hooray, I'm not alone ... it was such a short blink and nearly overseen.

If I could, I would add a pic where they are escaping through the rocks, (same trailer 01:21 just before it switches) - there he is in one shot very sharp an clear and the clothing and person matches exactly. But I'm not able to make a screenshot from this one scene-picture *sorry* Perhaps someone other can.

But I'm sure, that's Sarek and he'S standing on the bridge, witnesses Spocks fight with Kirk.

THAT story, combined with this Uhura hug moves me the most and I'm aching to see it resolved in the movie.

Yes, it's the same costume.

Wow, I believe you're right. I don't know how I missed that. This certainly makes things more interesting.

The scene with Sarek takes place after Spock returns from saving his family on Vulcan.

[NCC-73515]

But reports say that

heavy story spoiler

the fight between Kirk and Spock is when Kirk returns from Delta Vega. This is when Kirk takes command after Spock proves that he is unfit for duty.

Or did I get that wrong?

Yeah, I read that too and since I saw Sarek during the fight on the bridge I wondered about the timeframe.

It seems to be logical if the fight is directly after the Vulcan/Narada/Basejump/Rescue etc. and Sarek simply followed his Son on the bridge to see what's up with all this and possibly help in evcuating Vulcan. But that would mean, that Kirk attacked Spock someway (or vice versa) before he has met old Spock.

Possibly Sarek stays on board after the Vulcan Incident, but there is so much in the open, the only fact is: He is there at the fight.

Another possibility would be, that Kirk and Spock haven't only one fight, but two and that this first one (we always witness in the trailer, where Sarek must be there) happens before and later on Delta Vega Kirk becomes from old-Spock personally the "rightful weapons" to get really under his skin?

But since the Enterprise has started from Earth and is somewhere in Space and has to go to Vulcan first, which could take from an few hours to a few days, it's quite possible, that Spock dumps Kirk out of some reason well before they arrive at Vulcan.

Kirk is on Delta Vega, catches Scotty and beams back on the Enterprise before they arrive the Battlefield at Vulcan.

This speculating is so much fun ....

I wonder how Dad feels about his sons psychotic break?

And how cool would a scene with elder Spock and Sarek be?

[NCC-73515]

Would Sarek recognize him as the distant relative who saved his son's life in Yesteryear?
