Notice it doesn't just work on Humans.  Pinch any old species on the neck in that spot, and apparently it works. :(

Well, any creature with a head on his neck will have a nerve running from his brain either up to his head or down to his body.

If there's a wire, it can be shorted out.

Heh, expert on alien biology? ;)  For all we know there is a possability of alien life that may look like us, but they could be constructed completely different.  Maybe they don't even have nerves as we understand them.  Additionally, he pinches the meaty section between the shoulder and neck, not actually the neck, so there should be plenty of room for a species to not have any major nerve action in that area, I would think.

Spock's not dead.  At last report he was on Romulus adding fuel to their Reunification effort's fire.  Besides, Vulcans are known to live well over 200 years (Sarek died at age 223), and since Spock is only about 130, even being half Human, he's got quite a bit of time left.

How old is Spock actually?  It is very hard to say.  What effect did the "cloning" on the Genesis planet have on his biological age and life expectancy?  They could easily have him regenerate to youth and grow up all over again with a look alike actor and blame appearance, voice and personality changes on the regeneration.

True... but if you'll notice, Spock knows better than to try it on a Horta. :P

I don't think that he's so much using aq 'pressure point' on a nerve as he is actually using that strange psi-talent that all Vulcans seem to have to short things out by screwing with the body's electrochemical receptors.

And yet Data did it, and so did Archer.  Hmmm.  I'd love it to be a Vulcan only thing, but apparently somebody thought it would be cool to make everyone in the entire universe generic, and able to do everything everyone else can. :(

Well, if they have him AND Shatner in it, and it's done as a flashback, I will DEFINATELY want to go see this one.

Shatner (Capt. Kirk) is DEAD !!!

Death is not a permanent state in science fiction.  ;D

Remember that there are TWO Guinans.  The one on the Enterprise E and the one in the Nexus.  Kirk died on the planet but his Nexus copy should still exist.  Which of course allows the potential for removing him from the nexus.

Do we really want to revisit that scene in Generations where Picard thinks Kirk just called him a dillweed? :P

The "Vulcan" nerve pinch was explained, IIRC in an episode, as performable due to the typical advanced knowledge of anatomy and the enhanced strength that Vulcans posess.

Therefore, anyone with "Vulcan level" strength and the proper knowledge (Data) can perform the pinch, while no amount of training can teach the maneuver to a "comparative weakling" like all members of Humanity.

I prefer the "Kzinti Nerve Pinch" it involves placing a paw along side the intended victim's neck, much like the Vulcan one.  However rather than applying strong and focused pressure upon a nerve it involves unsheathing the claws from that paw through the skin, through the nerve, and through the juggler.  Perhaps less subtle, but definately more effective.   ;D  One Human has been known to have been capable of this technique.
