I mean, it takes concerted effort to raise a child in contrast to the surrounding system. Some behaviors, regardless of intention, can still.come out in parents.

I was just assuming that.
We haven't seen the entire Vulcan species though. Just a select subset.
9/10 While I wasn't LoL through the whole episode, there were some funny scenes with human Spock and T'Pring's dad, though I found him to a bit too emotional for a full-blooded Vulcan married to a bigoted Vulcan woman. There were also some touching scenes with Amanda Grayson and Chapel. My only thought about the ending is how this relationship is doomed to failure considering TOS.
It would have been great if they tried to use the Mego helmet.
Yes it was different in the second season of TOS compared to how it appeared in the first season when Kirk wore it.
If anything, the whole concept of IDIC is out of sync with everything else established about Vulcans in TOS.
I like the idea that it was a costume choice to visually reinforce that he was... not quite right.
Oh dear. That sounds kind of Lower Decks. "Whoa! It's one of those trans-dimensional energy creatures!"
Didn't they want him to rage and break things and he pressed for the quieter emotional breakdown?
Oh, they sure can, can't they? Being a parent is hard.
This. He probably put his shorts on backwards, too, but we couldn’t see that.
I don't think it's clear that Chapel has never met her. She looks surprised, but could be surprised that he's still engaged. Uhura may be trickier, but they keep cleverly avoiding her being in the vicinity when T'Pring is around. And now we likely won't see T'Pring (on the ship again anyway) for the rest of the series.

Truer words never spoken.
Actually in Amok time it's not necessarily apparent that nurse Chapel never met her before; but it is apparent that Uhura had never seen T'Pring before, as when she sees T'Pring on the 1701 viewing screen, she says:
"She's lovely Mr Spock. Who is she?"
All that happens with nurse Chapel in that same scene is she walks out of the turbo lift as Vulcan Central asks the Enterprise to activate it central viewer, and she turns to Dr McCoy and says:
"What's happening?"
To which McCoy responds:
"Shhhhhhhsh!"
And they both just stand there for the rest of the scene in silence.

Another reason for Spock to lose it. Somebody MILF-ing on his mom.And finally.. Mia.. Spocks mom.. Is super hot..
It's been a while since I've seen it, but IIRC Spock clearly states that he has not seen her since childhood. Which is in direct contradiction to SNW and would imply further that nobody on the TOS Enterprise has ever seen or heard of T'Pring before. It's basically a straight-up retcon if SNW and TOS are the same timeline.
I'm going to go watch Amok Time. Right now.
Damn it. I totally remembered it being Chapel who asked "Who is she?"
Let me know how it goes.
All of the Vulcans we've seen have been the Earth / U.S.A. equivalent of people who live on Martha's Vineyard. Everyone else is really like people you meet in Idaho. (Yes, I live in the U.S. Pick someplace else globally that's "low rent". And apologies to Idahoans. Pick the global opposite of Martha's Vineyard. Jeez! People are touchy! Especially the people in my head that I'm proactively placating!)
Remember that IDIC is a philosophy that Surak exposed. So yes it's an ideal that many Vulcans want to aspire to, but few probably do.
( I could give you some examples of Jesus teachings that certain Christians will acknowledge when confronted with them , but seem to either ignore or forget about them in certain situations, but I don't want to get political in this thread.)
It's implied by Spock looking at a picture of T'Pring as a young girl. But it seems unlikely that Spock just has the one picture. Also by T'Pring's line "it is I."
Uhura is the one who asks who she is. I don't recall if they interacted on SNW. I think Chapel gets a reaction shot though. Might be "Who's that?" or "Her!!!!"
