it just didn't convince me that that's what was happening. there's becoming comfortable with both parts of your heritage, as spock eventually does in the film trilogy, and there's making out in front of your fellow crewmembers. becoming comfortable with both his human and his vulcan heritage doesn't mean throwing away vulcan propriety entirely (or even normal human or star fleet propriety -- PDA in front of other officers seems like it's probably not the done thing, you know?), that idea that it was one or the other was what kept him conflicted for so long in the first place. i could have seen a quick kiss, or even a long, deep one if it was sudden, but they were just standing there making out as kirk walked into the transporter room, took his place on the pad, and then proceeded to watch them for a bit. to me it felt out of place, one of the obvious hollywood insertions.
like a lot in the movie the idea was good but the execution was distinctly shallow.
