Corrected entry: Spock stated that Vulcans "embrace technicality" but there was nothing technical about the violation of the Prime Directive when the crew decided to stop the volcano from destroying Nibiru. Given Spock's insistence on following rules and regulations, there is no way he would have agreed to render the volcano inert, as doing so violated the Prime Directive (as stated by Pike, under the Prime Directive the Enterprise crew was "supposed to survey a planet, not alter its destiny").

Corrected entry: During its fall to Earth, the Enterprise rotated wildly out of control, which tossed people and machinery throughout the ship. Yet after the ship was stabilized the dead tribble is sitting in the exact same spot on McCoy's table as before.
Correction: There was enough time after the ship was stable for someone, maybe McCoy, to have picked up the tribble. Considering he was conducting an experiment on it, its reasonable that he'd put it back on the table. There were a number of other objects that presumably had also fallen off that were sitting on the table as well.

Correction: Spock is half-human and that part is often at odds with his Vulcan side. Despite following the Vulcan way of life, this internal conflict at times causes Spock to do things other Vulcans would not. He is also affected by his friendship with Jim Kirk and his loyalty to him, and can be swayed by that. Spock may have agreed to go along with Kirk's plan as long as they remained unseen by the indigenous people, though the plan went awry. It would also go against Spock's logical nature to let a civilization die when it could be saved without altering its destiny.
