Star Trek

I know it's canon that Spock served with Captain Pike for some time, but is the 11 years bandied about canon or not? How about Kirk for 8 years on the Farragut? Canon or no?

I can't remember the episodes with such precision, but stating exact amounts of years of prior service doesn't seem like something that would have been uttered on the show.

So, until demonstrated that these specific past histories aired on the tv show, I'm not buying that everyone's reunited on the Enterprise 15 years early in the new movie.

Certainly Spock is there sooner than he should have been. But that's about it, as far as I can tell. And that was just dumb, since it would have been beyond easy to simply have Pike and Spock already serving on the Enterprise for an unnamed period of time.
