If you remember "Amok Time" in TOS, Spock only saw T'Pring when she was a child before seeing her as an adult while serving under Kirk. In SNW, he's interacting with an adult T'pring 10 years are so before Kirk takes comma

From Amok Time:

KIRK: Marriage party? You said T'Pring was your wife.
SPOCK: By our parents' arrangement. A ceremony while we were but seven years of age. Less than a marriage but more than a betrothal. One touches the other in order to feel each other's thoughts. In this way our minds were locked together, so that at the proper time, we would both be drawn to Koon-ut-kal-if-fee.

• He says they were betrothed at seven. Did they ever say that hadn't seen each other since then?

quote:
Second is Spock's relationship with Chapel has no previous history aside from Chapel being a lovesick puppy chasing a man that doesn't have the same feelings.

The only way to clean that up someday is to have an event that retcon's Spock and Chapel..

As long as Spock and Chapel break up and decide to have an ongoing, strictly professional relationship, Chapel's pining for a Spock that was once human enough to care about her would make sense.

• Edited to add: The biggest "mistake" is the Enterprise crew not knowing who T'Pring is in Amok Time, after a few of them had her on board in SNW.

I'm going to have to go back and check on T'pring. One other Easter Egg was dropped with Chapel. Did you notice the reference to Dr. Corby? Very clever. He was from the "What are little girls made of?" TOS Episode where Chapel mentioned she was once engaged to him and we discovered he was dead and replaced by an android body.

Update:

FK, I just went back to "Amok Time" and Spock didn't mention only seeing T'Pring as a child. We're led to believe that because we see Spock looking at her when she was a child and Spock talking about their betrothal at age 7 but that's it. Kind of like "Play it again Sam" was never spoken in Casablanca..
