To be honest, I'd be REALLY surprised if the moments between Spock and Kirk in STID were put in there for shippers. I think they exist because the writers were copying Wrath of Khan and also because the 2009 film kind of established their relationship as the foundation of the new films. I mean, when you think about it, Nimoy's Spock didn't go with Kirk to explain Nero and the black hole and all that (and thus risked the lives of everyone on Earth AFTER Vulcan had been destroyed) -- because he wanted Kirk and Spock to come together and realize that they would have a relationship that would define them. Like holy moly…

But I agree with you that they'd be a lot worse off if it was canon. Because the writers of the new films tend to be rather inept in a lot of ways and also because I think they would pull back from a lot of those emotional scenes because they'd be worried about idiots reacting negatively to "teh gay."

There are scenes that are copied from WOK but then there are just gratuitous scenes that could have been filled with plot development that they were just looking at each other, moving from place to place together, having unnecessary arguments just to have screen time together.

I just think there is so much of this extra for fans. I do get that they were trying to show a deepening of the K,S relationship, but hiding many of the S/U interactions while highlighting (non-story driving) K,S seems to be fan service.

I'm not completely coherent, I know, just, I get that many scenes between them were important to the story, it's the extra I'm referring to.
