The question of the signifigance of the "remember" comment will probably
prompt much discussion, but there seem to be so many opportunities for
Spock to be brought into the next film that they almost make such
clues redundant.  After all, Spocks body has landed on a living
planet reclaimed just moments before from a completely dead one.  Who
can say how long the rematrixing effect lasts, or its effect on dead
bodies?  Will Spock's renewed consciousness take over and direct the
complex activities of the entire living planet, a la *Spock's Brain*?
Did he in fact transfer his active consiousness *into* McCoy, to be
somehow drawn out later, with the shell of his body simply completing
the last command given it and then running down?  Will Spock's body be
left in a state of suspended animation in his capsule til Dr. X can
perfect his Phoenix Effect and bring Spock back.  Maybe a wandering
D&D Wizard from the planet TSR will appear equipped with a rod of
regeneration and resurrection?  Maybe a hole in time will be discovered,
whereby the Enterprise can jump back in time and save Spock (with
interesting side effects) before he gets himself killed.

Or maybe Leonard Nimoy is just tired of playing Spock, and he never will
come back. . . .
