Yeah. For one, the Enterprise is bigger than it was in the original show (and even the TMP Enterprise). Even if you pretend everything else is just paint and exchanging the touchscreen panels for buttons and removing the second turbolift on the bridge... maybe the Enterprise got shrunk in the washing machine before Kirk took over.

Some characters inexplicably change race—Robert April, which I can forgive as he only appeared once in the animated series (which had pink Klingon outfits), and transporter chief Kyle, which is just 'huh?' because he could've been a new character. Spock saying in TOS that he's "never used [a mind meld] on a human" is outright contradicted by him doing that in SNW.

The episode "Memento Mori" had a scene where it's questionable whether two characters would survive the episode.... one of those characters is Uhura. Who we know survives.

Kind of the problem with prequels...
