RE: Some things I don't understand....

Well I think, as was stated in my posted review link, that it was important to make sure that audiences were not exposed to a case of the "not gays" in that they had to ensure the character would not be viewed by non Trek fans as being Gay - lots of cash rests in the pockets of a lot of intolerant folk. Besides maybe she has special seductive powers.

See the link below starting at 39 minutes. I like his take on Kirk and Spock.

And these films are not out to make Star Trek fanboys happy - it's out to make a big pile of cash and nothing more. Well and be good enough to be able to make a sequel and make a big pile of cash.

There is a case to be made that Spock would be more "emotional" given the Vulcan in the pathetic show Enterprise. She was always seemingly emotional and pouty.

I am not really against the notion that Spock would have a girlfriend - I think the choice of who it is is kinda dumb but without that relationship what would having Uhura accomplish? Don't they have audible google translate in the future? Warp drive but no instant translation. Comparing it to the original series doesn't really fly because we have and can envision more technological advancements than they could envision in the 1960s.

I kinda look at Spock's relationship almost like a Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory.
