For the second? Yes. Spock didn't even cry when his planet exploded, he's not going to cry over the death of one person he doesn't even seem to like.

The reboot is just shitty characterization all over, really. I don't think Uhura's is worse than anyone else's, but that's not saying much.

Maybe Spock's reaction doesn't make sense to you, but that isn't even the case in the Uhura gifs where it seems that the person I'm replying has a problem with her having feelings even though it makes sense in the context of the scenes.
Neither that gif where she's sad nor the one where she's kissing Spock are examples of 'shitty characterization' for me.
In the first, Uhura was crying because someone she happens to consider a friend just died and the person she's in love with went after the person who is responsible for her friend's death and he could die too.
The second is just a gif of two characters kissing. Now if someone has a problem with kissing in general and thinks that's 'shitty' and disgusting and offensive for some cultural reason it's one thing, but for many people in real life that's hardly the kind of image that should inspire disgust or make people think that a character is shitty. In context, these characters are in a relationship and people who are in relationship will kiss sometimes especially when your partner is about to go in a mission from which he might not come back to. If someone is trying to say that Uhura is just eye candy and a sexual object, I have to question if they actually watched that movie.
In either scene, her reactions make totally sense. If someone thinks that there is something wrong about Uhura having feelings well, there must be something wrong with that person.

Hey, all you asked was whether people thought the Spock scene was OOC. I said yes. People having problems with Uhura's characterization but being fine with everyone else's is stupid, I agree, (especially since the problems with Kirk's and Spock's characterization are much greater IMO) but people having problems with everyone's characterization including Uhura's is understandable.
