I wrote this as I was watching:
If I remember correctly, the very first scene of S1E1 was Batel waking up in Pike's bed, so.. yeah :D
Good Lord they established that Pike and Batel have a relationship in the first episode.
The first scene of the first episode, even.
For the last one: Spock stated that the previous mission they hadn't stayed as long as they were when the effects started happening.
I rewatched the beginning and around 10:17 Spock mentioned that the collision was hundreds of years ago, so they should have felt the effects on the previous mission. Then in the shuttle they mention that the meteor was already there for thousands of years.... So I'm just more confused why the memory effects weren't there before.
They said in the episode that the original mission had been so short (4 hours if I recall correctly), Pike's crew had not felt the effects.
Yup, they basically touched down, immediately encountered some nasty violent opposition, and cut their losses and left bleeding. It was bad enough to make Pike question his fitness as a leader.
