Thanks!
You're right that bit is a table. Not really sure what I can do so that it appears correctly with Kbin.
"The Cage" only aired because of the writer's strike at the time, and "The Menagerie" episodes recuts to the ending of "The Cage" into the ending to be completely different, which is then reinforced by Vina's appearance in "If Memory Serves". Personally, I think the only things that are canon in "The Cage" are the scenes we see in "The Menagerie" two parter. Which, to be fair, is most of it.
And IIRC it was introduced as being a relatively modern innovation in UX. So that’s a continuity break.
Only implicitly. In "Encounter at Farpoint" the obvious implication is that the computer being able to pinpoint a crew person is new functionality; the ensign says, *"You must be new to these Galaxy-class starships, sir," and then gets the computer to tell her the exact location of Data, at which point it begins showing the route. However, it's never explicitly said that the computer's ability to direct someone to a location is new to the Galaxy-class, so it's definitely not a canon break, and is at worst a bit of a mild bending.
Really, do you want the Enterprise to have less functionality than the smart lights in someone's home?
The first episode of the season had Spock discussing with Doctor M’Benga the fact that embracing his anger to help him fight the Gorn last season in “All Those Who Wander” broke down his mental conditioning. It’s also been shown in three of four recaps at the beginning of episodes this season. I would assume they’re building towards something.
As for Spock “never” having emotions, I’d suggest rewatching some TOS. His wry enjoyment when Uhura teases him with her song in “Charlie X”, his outburst at seeing Kirk alive at the end of “Amok Time”, and just how ridiculously horny he is in “The Cloud Minders” all come to mind, never mind those instances when he’s affected by some outside force suppressing his conditioning.
Just a heads up, I've altered the formatting on this post, because I didn't like the way the lists were appearing when viewed on mobile. Everything is looking good on my end, but if something appears jacked up to you, please let me know so I can attempt to fix it.

She joined the United Earth Starfleet, though. If someone wanted to get really pedantic, they could claim there's a possibility she resigned her commission before the transition to the Federation Starfleet.
But yeah, T'Pol, the senior staff of the USS Intrepid, the various admirals we've seen in Disco and SNW, all would have joined Starfleet before Spock.
You know what the funniest part of your little tantrum is? I bet if you checked your language setting, and choose both "English" and "Undefined" you'd find that there's multiple posts per day, and you just haven't seen them because you couldn't figure out how to set up your account.
Anyways, enjoy your time out.
I still want the story of the one mousey, overworked lieutenant junior grade whose job it is to follow-up on all prime directive violations.
Investigator: Alright, Captain, let's begin, shall we? Apparently you and your crew intervened in a labour dispute between two independent worlds, and taught the previously exploited civilization about unions, and now their entire social development has radically shifted. Is there anything in that basic statement you'd like to dispute?
Captain: Uh...when did this happen?
Investigator: Stardate 43012.7.
Captain: That was eight months ago!
Investigator: Correct. I've had an entire backlog to work my way through, and this is the earliest I was able to address your situation.
Captain: Five months ago my entire ship was trapped in a time vortex and we all deaged to adolescence.
Investigator: ...I did think you looked rather young.
Captain: We don't even have any memory of those events, but it does sound pretty dope. Surely you can't hold us responsible for actions we haven't yet committed, and might not actually commit if we were put into similar circumstances again.
Worf gets away with a lot of things that would violate the Prime Directive in regards to the Klingon Government because he has dual citizenship and is a member of Klingon nobility.
Even with Worf being a Klingon, and a recognized member of Klingon society, he still had to resign his commission to leave the Enterprise and go fight for Gowron's forces in the civil war against the Duras' sister's supporters.
Worf: Captain, we must intervene. The Duras family is corrupt and hungry for power with no sense of honour or loyalty. They represent a grave threat to the security of the Federation. Captain, you and I know that they have conspired with Romulans in the past. If they should be victors in this war, they will surely form a new Klingon-Romulan alliance. That would represent a fundamental shift of power in this quadrant. Starfleet must support Gowron. It is in the interests of both the Federation and the Empire. I beg you, support us in our cause.
Picard: Mister Worf, I don't have to lecture you on the principle of non-interference. As Starfleet officers, we have all sworn an oath to uphold that principle whatever our personal feelings. I'm sorry. I must refuse your request.
Picard: Mister Worf. I'm afraid I must recall you to duty. The Enterprise will be leaving this sector immediately.
Worf: Captain, I respectfully request that I be allowed to take an extended leave of absence.
Picard: Mister Worf, your responsibilities as a Starfleet officer are incompatible with remaining on board a Klingon ship during a time of war.
Worf: Captain.
Picard: I order you to return to duty at once.
Worf: Then I resign my commission as a Starfleet officer.
They just conveniently forget that's the case in the final scene of "Redemption II" when Worf asks Picard for permission to return to duty. Guess he never got around to filing the paperwork.
Yeah, that was a good bit. One of my favourite moments of the episode.
In Beta canon material, Illyrians are supposed to be fairly enlightened, on the same level as Vulcans, and Una was raised by Illyrians. I could see that iteration of Number One finding it fairly easy to forgive Captain Batel, understanding that she was just doing her job, and being able to see past any personal feelings of resentment.
But so far as SNW is concerned, the Illyrians seem to just be the X-Men, so I don't even know.
