Don't want to derail this thread with thirty year old Star Trek debates but -
The impetus for saving Spock in III is not Kirk's statement or any realization he has at the end II - he has accepted death as a part of life, and let Spock go. Sarek arrives in III with the information that Spock may have gamed the system by placing his katra in someone - something Kirk and no one else could have anticipated.
The dialogue you reference all ties thematically back to the overall thread which does run through the entire film series. None of it advances the plot - the A,B,C of the story.
Regarding the rest of the thread, I always encourage people to write, and certainly to read. Absorb as much as you can. Write as much as you can. Suck. Try not to suck. Get better. Only way to ride a bike is to ride a bike. Same thing with writing books. Every book is a new learning experience. Every story.
Of course it advances the plot -- the films are connected. They know to save Spock because he left his soul; they go to save Spock because he's their friend, and human; Vulcan logic does not apply, as noted at the end of III, twice --
