The love between Kirk and Spock is pretty palpable in that movie. Not surprised that even to a non-Trekkie that it would hit hard.

Also... yes. That Saru episode fucked me up. That whole season is a roller coaster. A lot of intensely emotional moments. They're just gonna keep coming buddy! Feel free to message me about any of 'em if you wanna talk about it. Not like I don't love Discovery lol
