So was the TOS couple married by Kirk forbidden to procreate while onboard? And do condoms in that future consist of a force-field barrier, or are they still using latex? If force-field, can it be adjusted for "her pleasure?"
Kids were never shown on the TOS Enterprise, but neither were any but a tiny fraction of those on board. I think the just married couple implies enough to cover the implausibility of George and Winona* conducting their entire pregnancy aboard the Kelvin.
Not I that I didn't groan a bit about his wife giving birth right at that moment, but ultimately it worked as a cornball bit.

Is that why Winona Ryder was given a part in the movie?
