More than "the big fall" -- why the hell weren't there other Star Fleet vessels out there, halfway between the moon and earth, within minutes to investigate a shootout between one of the premiere ships of the fleet and monstrous black ship of similar design? The way things went -- particularly that "conference of captains" -- implied that the Federation navy is no more than ten or a dozen ships, max, which is just stupid.
And might I also just mention the fact that it appears top cruising speed for warp ships is now something a hair under infinite? Scotty's comment about everything happening in the last day or so suggests that we actually watched the entire travel to and from Kronos in real time...
And no political fallout from Marcus' disastrous "black project"? Although it's difficult to extrapolate from the rededication "epilogue", it seems like there've been no real changes to Star Fleet in the wake of that oopsie.
