(Anonymous) 2015-07-11 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)A bit of this, yes. I mean, I kind of hate the new movies and all they stand for (well, mostly ST:ID, but it went retroactively back onto the first one as well), but for the point of his life AOS Spock is at, the characterisation does make some sense.
TOS Spock, by the time we see him, had a good few years in Starfleet and his years with Captain Pike to soften him up some, and even then it was a work in progress. He was massively struggling with emotion and identity right up into movie era, and he always seemed to try and lock it away and become 'unfeeling' whenever that struggle ran against him. Taking a younger Spock, whose emotions are running more strongly and who's had so much less experience dealing with them, it makes sense that he'd overcompensate a bit. We do get hints that even TOS Spock had a bit of a chip on his shoulder when younger. Like, say, the entirety of 'Journey to Babel' and his relationship with Sarek before they ease up a little bit.
I kind of still don't like Quinto as Spock, at all, but there is a logic behind the characterisation as well.
