I also walked out thinking about the future of Romulan-Vulcan relations in this timeline.
Yeah--a very small part of me wonders whether some imperfectly socialized Vulcan would find it logical to kidnap random Romulans in order to broaden the gene pool. :(
Indeed, one'd imagine that having a mother in Starfleet (which I also assumed) would be harder to live up to, in a way: she's continuing to do cool stuff, relative to an earthbound kid, even if she's not bridge or command staff, whereas George's arc, however fiery, is finite. I wanted Pike to acknowledge something--I liked him, too. heh.
