That scene and Pike's death are both massively triumphant turns for Chris Pine's Kirk character. Awesome moments.
On the bright side:
Trek's best 'WTF'-moment is in a series I otherwise don't care that much about - on DIS, when an episode opens with "Previously on Star Trek..." - and then shows clips from the original series 60 years ago!
And then straight up continues that plot as if it was last week. That was one of my favourite Trek moments, ever.

Confirmed my love of DIS and Mount as Pike. Pike to me was the captain who got shortchanged the most as a Trek captain, and I welcome his exploration as a character.
"If Memory Serves" is one of the best episodes in all of the new era of Trek. Great, great stuff...
I saw it as them trying to be a bit too clever with the flipped death scene. It was fantastically acted, though.
And then IMMEDIATELY ruined with Spock's "Khaaaaan!" which was WAY too far. I facepalmed in the theatre and it took me until Spock and Khan fighting to get back into the movie.
The intro for TNG, season 1. Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn... hey! what happened to the asteroid belt?!
After watching the movie that had gone before that scene and seeing it get dumber and dumber (after a pretty fantastic start), it gets to "Oh, they're even going to do the death scene. Only it's Kirk. Whatever."
Then Quinto and Pine knock it out of the park! "Damn it, they're actually making me cry!" It's amazing! It might even be better than the original, since they're 1) not relying on 15 years of good will and 2) they're having to re-do the scene!
Annnnd then Spock yells Khan and it all goes down the tubes. And then Kirk comes right back. To quote the philosopher Bryan George: Super easy. Barely an inconvenience.
I'd rather watch Nemesis on a loop.
I still cry. I'd watch it before all of TNG films.
It's meant to be an artistic interpretation.
Already mined to the hilt?
One, it's not that big, and two, probably mined for resources already by the Saturn missions and Mars colonies.
Thanks. I couldn't come up with the appropriate Expanse reference.
They actually omit Mars, and contrary to what's shown in tv/movies, the asteroids are so far apart not seeing any is technically more scientifically accurate. What always bugs me about the opening is they screw up the lighting for Saturn based on the position of the sun earlier.

The later intro actually bothers me more, the way the stars behind the rings move off screen along with the planet... I don't think that's how it works
After two large bodies collide you can have a dense mini-field for a bit anyway.
Not the asteroid belt, for a very long time.
Not so much a moment as decor. Drinks served at Quarks are served in those square-rimmed glasses. Um...try not to dribble their contents all over you as you take a sip, which no one ever does onscreen! Can't imagine why not!
The future of drinkware is decidedly regressive.
