Good review. And there's stuff like some of Spock's campfire conversation that doesn't really make sense. Yes, Vulcans are logical, but logical doesn't mean "awkward". (Anyone who's seen TOS, feel free to prove me wrong on this) He's not, say, Data or Odo, for goodness' sakes. On the other hand, some of the quieter moments of snark are organic, so...keep those. I think the best model for stuff like that is stuff like what I've seen of DS9 -- when they do the really good bits of humor, they really flow organically from the characters, situations, etc. and are genuinely clever.
I've always found the friendships and camaraderie that Spock had to be respectful both ways; a little bit of teasing, perhaps, by others, but that was it. The whole 'logic' thing and *honor, for those who have read Chris Claremont's X-Men* is a slog and expounds on the characters, but that doesn't make it less of a slog for me. I'm not that introspective, I guess.
Made me smile to think of DS9; some said it was the best of the spinoff series. It did have a strong sense of location with the space station and solid villains.
Happy movie viewing! I've seen two this year: "Finding Dory," which was adorable, and "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot," an excellent character study.
