NATURALLY she would be angry at Spock for spurning her, right?
... whut. The thing I liked about the craziness that was "Amok Time" was that even though T'Pring basically made him kill Kirk, Spock was all, "that's some impressive logic" about it and left it at that. She was allowed to not be interested in Spock and even manipulate him to a point that it results in Kirk's death, and still not really be cast as at the bad guy. That kind of retelling comes off as... really weak, and I mean, if you're outdoing TOS in terms of problematic gender tropes? Really?
