Heck, they say right in "Relics" that Scotty's transporter pattern degraded a bit over the decades. That right there is enough to explain any memory lapses he's experiencing.If you need a rationalization, maybe your memory would be a bit out of whack too if you were retrieved from a Transporter Buffer after 70+ years.
The final piece of what? Proof that the SNW writers have no idea how to write Spock?
I really thought this is where it would go after Spock felt burned by Chapel, that he would make himself more closed off by the time we meet Leila on SNW, but instead we see him repeat it with La'An. Now I wonder if SNW will even acknowledge Leila.
They probably entertained the thought, but ultimately decided to stick with the original error rather than suggest that the bridge is facing 12 o'clock rather than 2. Another alternative would be to redesign the bridge model by having the nub aligned correctly with where the turbo lift is. That probably wouldn't have bothered me, but it might have bothered a whole slew of fans who regard the 1701 ship as being sacred and perfect.
If they skip over Leila entirely, then the only time that fits is when the Enterprise is in the Sol system immediately after Hegemony. And at that time Spock is still pining for Chapel.
Thoughts: La'An will be recruited by the Time Service for a mission; she travels back in time and changes Earth history by having Khan born in the 1950's with The Eugenics Wars occurring in the 1990's. As a side result, La'An is also wiped from existence plus changing the timeline to as is seen at the start of TOS.
Well, someone says that "no starship makes records in this detail."I already addressed that point. The characters discussed whether the events happened as depicted, and they agreed they did. I very much doubt Spock or Pike would have misremembered that the top of the bridge was a transparent dome, as shown in the images.
As to whether there are shipboard cameras, there are, as established in "Court Martial". In "The Menagerie", it is also stated that cameras can record images aboard ship; the quality of what they seem to be watching on-screen during Spock's court martial is stated to be better than the quality of what the shipboard cameras can record.
So, it was not the Starfleet shipboard cameras that recorded the images. Therefore, the Talosians scanned the images that are presented on-wescreen in "The Menagerie". If they did it entirely out of what's in the minds of Pike's crew, then that's a bit more evidence in favor of the idea that the bridge really has the transparent dome on top, as depicted in the images recycled from "The Cage", because it would look the way that the crew thought it did.
Umm…no.Thoughts: La'An will be recruited by the Temporal Service for a mission; she travels back in time and changes Earth history by having Khan born in the 1950's with The Eugenics Wars occurring in the 1990's. As a side result, La'An is also wiped from existence plus changing the timeline to as is seen at the start of TOS.
I Khan't believe they'd...Thoughts: La'An will be recruited by the Temporal Service for a mission; she travels back in time and changes Earth history by having Khan born in the 1950's with The Eugenics Wars occurring in the 1990's.

Not really.
Harve Bennett's intention was that they did and he was going to do Starfleet Academy based on that, but it never got off the ground. And maybe for the best seeing as how the actual Starfleet Academy show we got did
Yeah, never got that sense from TWOK.
One has little to do with the other and neither could predict how a show in the 90s would be produced.
