It's stuff like that that makes me really love Spock. Underneath that stiff, frigid manner, he really cares. He does. He does his damndest to try and do right by the people he cares so desperately for. And just. Oh God.
When Kirk goaded him, it wasn't just the death of his mother and a more-or-less successful attempt to commit genocide against his people. It was also the death of all those brilliant, brilliant children who. had. trusted. Spock.
Read this way and if you read Uhura as having been one of the early members of that group, it makes a lot more sense why she's so, like. Physically THERE and stuff for Spock. Because she knows.
