I went back and watch Amock Time and the Spock Amok last night. I was intrigued that his current relationship with his wife seemed consistent (SNWs didn't break any of the Spock canon really). What did impress me was nurse Chapel. When watched AK after the recent SNW episodes it appears that Spock had forgotten his love for Chapel but she still loves him. It actually was very moving when you realize Chapel's secret. When she breaks down when he doesn't even remember her first name. Anyway something to watch for.

A point of contention in this one is why Spock would struggle with his human emotions, when Vulcan emotions are supposed to be "stronger." I don't think there's been any suggestion in the past that emotional control is a Vulcan genetic trait.

This is given some cover within the episode, when Spock vaguely says that the human emotions are "different," but he doesn't elaborate.

I wonder if, in keeping with Spock's character in the franchise as a whole and in this series in particular, Spock's predicament allowed him to subconsciously give himself "permission" to embrace and explore his emotional side, with the genetic alteration as an excuse.
