I enjoyed the appearance of Captain Spock without blinking an eye... until, deep within a long comment, someone wondered how Sarek and Amanda got together in that timeline. The thought has been entertaining me for days.

Humans and Vulcans seemed to be fairly neutral to each other in this version of history, rather than outright enemies. I suppose there's a possibility that Sarek still pursued his unique brand of diplomacy.

We also have Kirk’s reference to being incarcerated in a Denobulan prison with a Vulcan.
