Came across a faux interview between Gene Roddenberry and Sarek (the actor who plays Sarek is playing Sarek) and I think Sarek & Amanda's mad scientist relationship is so goddamn interesting - TERRIBLE parents ("We felt Spock's torture of course but Amanda and I had a dream. One that justified even the risk of our precious son's life and sanity. What point is there in any life, surviving, unless it has meaning?") but my God...TALK about matching someone's freak. I also like the picture Sarek paints of Vulcan society, (which I've been rambling about recently) it's a very specific portrayal of Vulcans and how they view emotions which I don't think is carried over into much canon - wherein somebody emoting at someone else is seen as almost a hateful act.

#he also says that Vulcans carry their children for 12 months instead of 9 v_v I'm so sorry Vulcan Women #Sarek & Amanda: -seeing their son suffering- That's so fucking sad v_v ......... anyway -stares into each other's eyes some more-#<- and I genuinely do think they DID care and that's the worst part #that them genuinely loving and caring about Spock and KNOWING he was suffering acutely did NOT move either one of them to help him #bc it would cost their joint dream and he was created with a Purpose which would never be more important than Him #Spock: My childhood was torturous #Sarek & Amanda: Yes it was BUT SPOCK....all that suffering? It meant something.#Sarek and Amanda have 3 children which is wild bc they SHOULD have 0 children since they used two out of three as living experiments #and political propaganda #there's no one else for sarek but amanda and vice versa bc they are both insane #sybok is also a gigantic weirdo - being a member of Spock's family means you're a weirdo who clashes with your society
