Re: Blown out the water by Spock/Uhura!

They don't need each other. Don't know where I said they did. But the films show how they complement each other and make each other better.

Complement each other doesn't mean, in a way, they need each other? They just don't.
Like in the last movie I don't get why Spock is not the captain when he is so better and more competent anyway but that's me.
Kirk can have better friends in McCoy, Scotty, Uhura or Pike, his mentor. He has nothing to do with Spock and Spock has nothing to do with him.
To say that they make each other better too....Kirk seems to bring the worst in him, actually, when he doesn't look like Sylar he's reduced to a parody of himself just to pay homage to a scene that these characters haven't earned one bit. He's out of character.
It seems irony that you claim they make each other better when some of their worst moments in the movies where they act as an immature ass is the scenes they have with each other.
They should have asked for a transfer.

Complement does not mean "need" -- a color can can be complemented by another color and look nicer as a result. That doesn't mean it needs that color. This is the definition I am using: "add to (something) in a way that enhances or improves it."

So, yes, I think Spock and Kirk complement each other. I've given examples that, I think, demonstrate this.

As for who is captain, I agree that is a mess. But It doesn't affect how I see Kirk and Spock's relationship.

And of course Kirk can be friends with others. However I find that, in Star Trek Into Darkness, the gradual closeness he develops with Spock and how they come to love and respect each other really shines. That's simply my opinion.

From what I can tell, Kirk and Spock bring out the best in one another and it works precisely because they can fall back and rely on the writing in TOS.
