So, Spock spent an even longer time than Data or Harry Kim without a promotion?
Who's playing Pike?
I can totally see Future Spock saying "BOOP!" to Pike- who, in turn will ask "what all that about?" and old Spock will give that sorta half grin and say "Oh....you'll find out.... fucking human never promoted me...grumble, grumble...".
But more likely, they'll do some sorta "It's good to see you again, sir" and all the fanboys will go "Awwww" because we know Spock really liked his old C.O and it's all tragic and junk.

And also, old Spock is supposed to be on the "Scotty's exile ice planet", where Kirk ends up for some reason, so Pike and Spock might not meet at all.

Do we know why Scotty's exiled on an ice planet yet? Does that mean he's not a member of Starfleet? Just some dude they pick up and make chief engineer?

Well, the implications are that he was put on the post as punishment for an unauthorized transporter-accident involving an admiral´s dog, wasn´t it?

Yeah, I get that it's something stupid like that.

Well, we know from that Okudagram he died not long after seeing the proper Enterprise being (or starting to be) built. Perhaps it was the shock of losing his dog that did him in. Scotty killed Archer!

I knew I always liked Scotty, and now I know why.

Actually, that paragraph was deleted from the final version of the display that we saw in the episode. Mike Sussman said he wrote it, but they didn't use it. So we don't actually "know" that.

Orci considers a lot of the "Star Trek EU" to be canon, so I wouldn't put it past him.

When it comes to Trek EU, I would be a bit wary of including a lot of it in a canon environment. Certainly the more cohesive offerings as of late, such as the TNG, DS9 and VGR "relaunches". But a lot of the earlier stuff... especially that X-Men crossover *shudder*.
