What the difference between a defence pattern and an evasive manoeuvre is is not clear
I believe you're referring to the "Kirk Epsilon Manuever"
That's the one!
Apparently they married and had four kids together. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Unnamed_Humans_(20th_century)#Ginsberg's_family_001
If my theory is somehow proven right with an offhand remark at some point, I'll laugh. It would just be so hilarious to connect that small tidbit to a major character like Pelia. And it would so be her to at least keep living on, and hope her kids are doing the same too.
Apparently Andy Warhol painted Pelia and she hung out with him during the '60s through the '80s!
A very interesting episode. I liked that the chemistry between the actors playing the characters who will form Kirk's crew was noticeable and Wesley's performance was very balanced- a great hybrid of Shatner and himself.
One oddity for me - it seems official that starships only seem to have one doctor on board. Maybe McCoy got a full staff because the crew was doubled for a deep space mission?
Again, the writers seem to have forgotten that Chapel is a civilian. I'm not sure how she can be the ranking medical officer, or even how a trauma nurse and bio-researcher could be said to be qualified to relieve someone of command but maybe the assumption here is a full hierarchy, so the crewman who cleans the test tubes would become ranking medical officer if everyone else is dead? It's also possible she has been given a field promotion to acting Ensign I guess?
What I liked most of all was that this was a rehash of ST09 but with the plot and Kirk's crew's behaviour having a bit more common sense. They formally establish that the enemy ship can't travel fast, Kirk destroys the enemy while they are a threat, and he regrets that so many had to die, including children, presumably, since it was a generational ship.
And Pelia's quarters were awesome. I loved M'Benga's response.

They were draining energy, and sucking out deuterium directly, which means the D7's warp drive would have run out of deuterium long before it ran out of Antimatter.
Starfleet happening upon ancient super advanced technology left behind by it's now extinct creators is a common enough thing that there are usually multiple episodes per season dedicated to it occurring.
So I'm not sure why you consider the question of how a mystery given the obvious answer is that they happened upon it abandoned somewhere.
The only Decals they could find when scavenging around in supply were from before 2033. Or, construction was started on the ship they eventually used before 2033, and they didn't care to worry about how many stars were on the flag when they finally launched.I think some eagle-eyed fan already pointed out that the flag has 50 stars, although TNG: The Royale said that the US flag got 52 stars in 2033. That means that the ship launched before 2033, yet Pelia says it launched in the aftermath of World War 3, which would put the launch in the late 2050s or early 2060s.
OH NO! Continuity error! WORST EPISODE EVER! Trek is ruined, I tell you, ruined!!!!!
The 52-star decals were lost in the Third World War. 
Is she though? She wears rank stripes (granted they are bullshit ones) and she has always made it sound like she is affiliated with starfleet.
I know she says she joined Starfleet to find Korby or words to that effect but that could be recontextualised just like Pike's temporary promotion to fleet captain just so he could have authority over the Farragut (guessing that tactical directive hadn't been written yet).
Kosinski in "Where No One Has Gone Before(TNG)" isn't really in Starfleet but is treated as Starfleet and even wears a yellow uniform with special rank insignia when he's aboard the Enterprise-D. He's Starfleet for the purposes of his propulsion experiments on Picard's ship but not a real Starfleet commissioned officer.
They didn't their descendants did. You did see the part where the exterior of the ship was destroyed and it's core was the Earth ship.
No they didn't. 7000 was the population of the ship after 200 years of well, sex.
Yes, it was established in the first episode of the series.
M'BENGA: I received your orders, Captain. This is Nurse Chapel. Nurse Chapel is on civilian exchange from the Stanford Morehouse Epigenetic Project.
This is turning out to be an awfully long exchange program.
Maybe she has a provisional rank/position based on her civilian experience, but they only ever call her nurse.

Yeeeeeeeeeeees! This could actually work! And as much as I hate Wesley as Kirk, I think a later era gives him a cleaner slate to build his own performance from.
Well, even TNG went pirate in their last season, but SNW already went a bit nuts with this. "The Serene Squall" was all about space pirates and filled with the tropes, down to Pike doing an "arrrgh, matey" voice and a bridge designed like a pirate ship with a giant old-timey wheel.
I remember thinking: this is what happens when you suppress a franchise's desire to do pirate stories. It builds up and builds up until it explodes in a burst of pirate overload.
This had clearly evacuated my memory. Thank you.
Spock was probably still on the ship when Kirk took command. Who knows, maybe Una moved on and Pike promoted Spock to XO.
Math and biology probably were your best subjects in school, were they?Someone had a pretty big family it seems.
When did Alvarez appear on TOS?
Might not have been available.
I don't the Pelia would work if it wasn't Carol Kane.
