I like it when they hint at something as opposed to slamming it in my face because they think I'm too stupid to figure it out for myself. The episodes with young Kirk were like that. They helped to make you understand why he liked to do things his own way and to think outside the box.

Yes, I loved those bits. They give something extra to the movie if you know the Star Trek story but don't distract from the movie if you don't know it.
(remember when Chekov once said: "I was never that young." (I forgot in what movie) and now's he's 17!)
