I mean think about it. Trips last line. "Phlox says that Human and vulcan DNA are comparable. So if we wanted, we could. That gives some comfort." So i'm paraphrasing cause I don't remember the exact thing after a week, but They're talking about Spock! Even I, one who doesn't watch TOS can appreciate that they're talking about him. And he *was* TOS. It was a nod to the series to come. A feature of all good prequals. And those two actors had such emotion in that scene of simple words that it was a very powerful ending.
I've decided. "These are the Voyages..." never happend. This is my series finale.
