After nearly 6 decades of waiting, new Star Trek: Strange New Worlds posters have ventured where no Star Trek show has ever gone before and given Spock an official name.
According to the posters revealed at this past weekend's Star Trek: Mission Chicago event (via TrekCore), Lieutenant Commander Spock's full name is S'Chn T'Gai Spock. Meanwhile, Dr. M'Benga's first name is Jabilo. However, CBS Studios later clarified their "mistakes" to various publications, stating that "while Spock and M'Benga do indeed have first names, they have yet to be revealed."
The decision to name Spock and M'Benga could have had huge implications for the Star Trek franchise going forward. Unfortunately, Trekkies will have to continue waiting to find out Spock's real name.
If it's any consolation, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is shaping up to be a continuation of the success of Star Trek: Discovery. The series, which will premiere on May 5 on Paramount Plus, picks up directly after the second season of Star Trek: Discovery. In addition, Strange New Worlds will serve as a prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series, which premiered in 1966. The usually picky and hard-to-please Star Trek fanbase has had nothing but love to show for Paramount+'s latest attempt at reimagining classic and fan-favorite Star Trek characters such as Spock, Captain Pick, and Number One.
