If the “Discovery” writers remade Spock’s death scene in “The Wrath Of Khan”:
A countdown clock starts at counting down from 3 minutes on the main view screen on the bridge.
Kirk: “Scotty! We need speed in three minutes or we’re all dead!”
Uhura: “No response sir...”
Kirk: “Mr. Sulu...get us out of here—best possible speed!”
Spock rises slowly from his chair with tears welling up in his eyes and calls out to the bridge crew.
Spock: “Admiral—I must sacrifice myself to fix the warp drive and save the ship. This is why I’m here. This is why the Red Angel saved me. Michael always taught me that the needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few.”
Kirk: “Everyone stop what you are doing and stand at attention and put all of your eyes on Captain Spock!”
Spock then goes to each person on the bridge and shares fond memories with each of them and specifically reminds each of them of how important he had been in each of their lives. He then allows each of them in turn to tell him how they are lost without him and how ironic it is that he, a Vulcan, has taught them how to be human. Tears continue to well up in Spock’s eyes.
Spock: “I love you all. Goodbye”.
Spock then exits the bridge.
Kirk: “I wish I had met this ‘Michael’. Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, she sounds the most....human.”
Spock then walks to the docking port behind the bridge where Sarek and Amanda, after hearing he is about to die, have miraculously travelled to the Enterprise and wait for him. Beneath tears, Sarek apologizes for everything he has done and how painful it must have been for Spock to have had him as a father. Amanda is reassured by Spock that he always loved her at least 97.6% more than he loved Sarek. Now wiping away tears from his cheeks, Spock takes the elevator down a few decks where he exits to take a service ladder the rest of the way to engineering.
Before he opens the hatch to the ladder, he is approached by Sybok who, also having learned of Spock’s impending demise, has travelled to the ship. Both exchange memories and tears fall. Sybok also tells Spock that it was he who put Sybok on his path and taught him how to love. Spock then opens the hatch and descends down the ladder to engineering.
Upon arriving in engineering all personnel immediately stop their attempts to repair the Enterprise and stand at attention. Again, one by one, Spock approaches each of them and through tears allows them to tell him how important he has been in all of their lives and how lost they were before they met him.
Spock: “I love you all.”
Spock then approaches McCoy. The two immediately embrace each other, weeping. McCoy then recounts every argument they ever had and how he was misguided and foolish in each instance and asks for Spock’s forgiveness.
McCoy: “You are the center of my universe, Spock. I love you as a brother.”
Spock: “I know. It’s only logical. Everything you are is because of me.”
Spock then nerve pinches McCoy and applies a mind meld to McCoy’s face.
Spock then turns to the unconscious Scotty and takes his gloves. He then shakes Scotty awake so that Scotty may also tell Spock how important he was to him and how he will never be the same without him.
Spock then steps onto the rotating platform leading into the deadly intermix chamber and looks up at the countdown clock.
The countdown clock reads: 2:55
5 seconds have passed since the countdown began on the bridge.
THE END
To be continued in Star Trek III....
"He then shakes Scotty awake so that Scotty may also tell Spock how important he was to him and how he will never be the same without him."
That sums it all up the best.
The ONLY thing missing from your wonderful version of what WOULD be if Discovery writers and producers did this, was the lack of reverence and references to Michael.
