The Menagerie. Kirk says he met Pike when he took over the Enterprise. So Pike was present (and pre-accident, as when Kirk saw Pike in his box/chair in the episode, it was clearly the first time he'd seen him in that state) at the time. He is not aware of Pike's accident; it was recent (at 1:11):
Yes, and also that. I did not want to be repeating myself so soon, however.
Have we? We've seen two short out-of-context visions. I believe that they have left room for interesting storytelling that adds meaningful dimensions to the event. All need not be what it seems.
Well, I have. I can't speak for you.
They could have Pike hand over the Enterprise to Kirk, then flash forward 2 or 3 years to the accident and events in Menagerie.
