Why did Spock pause to chat before teleporting to Vulcan?

For those who say this movie is not really Star Trek, I say, "Yes, it is because we are arguing the apparent inconsistencies... just like any other Star Trek episode or movie!"
I am enjoying the debates. I also agree with those who say, "The plot calls for it to happen, so it had to happen."

Well hind sight is 20/20, i'm sure after spock may have thought if he did this or that differently she would have lived.

This totally reminds me of one of my favorite threads of all time: Did Spock's actions kill...

Had Spock not paused, would Amanda have survived?

maybe, but then there'd been less drama. we do want to watch drama, right? as in, a movie?

they probably knew it was amanda because she was the only human.
