It was Spocks great trauma that made him super mature.

For Kirk it did not really mean much, he was jsut unsurious at at the end as he was at the beginning.

Do we need Pike? If the movie is set years after the 2009 film, then the crew should be well seasoned in their respective roles. They wouldn't need Pike breathing down their necks.

No, but that doesn't mean that Pike can't be the Admiral who gives Kirk his orders for the Enterprise's next mission.

^ I got the impression that Kirk's father's death was his traumatic event. Obviously, given his age when George died, Jim couldn't really be aware of it. But it clearly had an effect on his life and led him to grow up to be a rebellious, directionless youth, as oppose to the 'walking book' that was young prime-Kirk.

The turning point, then, was his encounter with Pike in that bar.
