The bit at the beginning about Una not wanting to take shore leave was because Doug lived there. at least heavily implied.
I like to think one of the smaller dividers is also quadrants, below sector or something

It was confirmed at the end of the episode.
Again, yes, but not in 'interception range'. It's a big galaxy, Mr Scott.
Absurd that the only ship in range is docked at Earth. One would think that the Sol System and the Klingon Border would have multiple ships to call on.
Another point to consider... the refit Enterprise was likely the most advanced ship in range. And given how easily the Klingon ships were destroyed, that may also have been a factor in play on what ship gets to intercept V'Ger.
To the credit of Star Trek IV at least two starships attempted to intercept the Whale Probe, the Saratoga and the Yorktown. Both were rendered powerless and disabled, but at least they tried. By the fourth movie Starfleet was shown to mass forces to meet an oncoming threat.

TAS says "Hi"
Exactly. Just say the Enterprise is the fastest and best chance to intercept, not the only ship.
At least there were Earth orbiting starships. Apparently in Into Darkness, there were no Earth orbiting starships or they (along with Earth spacedock, starbase one, Mars Defense perimeter, etc.) didn't notice that the USS Vengeance was beating the pulp out of the Enterprise in Earth orbit (even if we theorize that the Vengeance had ultra-powerful cloaking or stealth abilities, SOMEONE should've noticed that the Enterprise was getting beaten up by something)
In fact realistically there should've been a gazillion barriers between Khan and getting anywhere close to ramming Starfleet Command like he almost did in the movie.
At that point in Star Trek Into Darkness; Admiral Marcus had already laid the groundwork for claiming Kirk had disobeyed orders and was attempting to start a war with the Klingon Empire. At that point Pike had been killed as well, so there were no friends of Kirk's left in the Admiralty.
La'an knowing the relationship between Vulcans and Romulans is something that can be dismissed in order to keep the entire audience in the loop. Seeing different parts of her personality and instincts activated by the serum was perhaps the most interesting part of the story. Some of the audience would get that she was acting more like a Romulan--BUT NOT ALL. How would one communicate that? Perhaps a different explanation would have sufficed, but I believe it is a discontinuity that is better forgotten.
Also I'm not sure how much time I would spend discussing American Earth customs if I hadn't seen the person I was hot for in a while.
Kirk’s lines are literally, “the Enterprise is the only starship that stands in its way,” and “the only Federation starship in interception range is the Enterprise.”
There is no mention about relative power scales or warp capabilities. As others have said, it makes Starfleet look underpowered and incompetent.
The earlier drafts of the script actually fix this with a USS Aswan that intercepts V’Ger before Enterprise, but is swiftly destroyed. The communication with Epsilon 9 on the Rec Deck repurposed that scene of the Aswan’s final moments.
Yup. Marcus had everything where he needed it and trusted Kirk's desire for revenge to avoid further questions. Kirk as a rogue element would further cement the usefulness of the Dreadnaught class as it deals handedly with the Enterprise.
None that wanted to be in the way of V'Ger.
They saw that thing, decided to GTFO and fly away as far as possible.
Or, if they're like me, they don't vote in the poll. I have no idea how to rank episodes, especially when I dislike them, so I don't bother.
I hope Ethan Peck gets one actual Spock focused episode that isn't a shitty comedy before this show ends. The fact that most of his serious Spock stuff was either on Discovery or in brief scenes where he's helping other people is such a disservice to an actor that I think is very good in his role. I don't know why the SNW people decided that Spock was the show's comedy relief character and nothing more, but its a shitty thing to do to both the character and the actor.
Oh, also, the episode was shit, as expected of a SNW comedy episode. 2/10, I'd rate it lower but unfortunately this isn't even the worst comedy episode of the season. SNW episodes are either amazing or crap, almost never inbetween those two extremes.

Comedy relief seems to be the only way they know how to work with Vulcans. It's like the show is trying to be a live action Lower Decks and it's becoming very tiresome.
(Lower Desks was amazing but that doesn't mean I want to see it copied and badly at that)
TAS isn't supposed to be canon.
Everyone who encounters the holodeck in S1 of TNG talks about it like it's a remarkable piece of technology they've never seen.
Odd if it's been around for 100 years.
I miss Discovery Spock so much. Let him grow a beard again and give him a serious episode. I think that's why Season 2 was my favorite season of that series, they did some great character work, even if the plotlines itself (Control mostly) were kind of confusing and in your face.
