I agree that was weird to me too. I wondered if this was how it was going to be every time spock went on a dangerous away mission. Total hollywood insertion, kinda like "well, we should get some booty action shots in case we never get the chance again."

But mostly the group of people I went with were just happy that they didn't have Uhura fall for Kirk.

dude, if they had to do it, i was sooooooo glad it was spock and uhura. and i could understand why the producers wanted kirk to see it, because it was a hilariously awesome way to undercut the whole "kirk always gets the girl" thing that even someone who's NEVER seen star trek knows. i just think they could have done that in a way that made more sense for the characters. there's no sense that it's odd or new for spock to be snogging uhura in front of people. it was just weird.
