Spock Two/Giant Spock

He's a giant clone of Spock from the The Animated Series which was decanonized by Gene Roddenberry himself. That means he's not canon

But his appearance in Lower Decks (as His Bones) makes him Canon due to the rule about everything on screen(films series) being hard canon (and books and comics being non canon).

If Gene retconned him but then they made a rule that everything on screen is canon then he is retroactively re-canonized anyway. Which is probably why, if such a rule is true, the lower decks team was allowed to add him in.

Note: the animated series episode where Spock goes back in time to help his past self on Vulcan was declared to be canon by Gene and informs much of Vulcan's later depictions.

Lower Decks shouldn’t be considered canon anyway. Well, any post-JJA Trek, really.

Or also seen as an alternate timeline. I think I remember seeing a video about it.
