There was plenty of internal inconsistency, but nitpicking communication lag times? The original trek did that all the time. They called it subspace channels. They always needed to find some subspace relay or something to use it in real-time, but it stands to reason that the homeworlds of major civilizations would have lots of those.
I thought it was much stranger that starships can park right next to the homeworlds of major civilizations and go unnoticed/unchallenged for any length of time.
(I got the impression that Spock could have talked to Earth any time he wanted, but he thought it was more important to but old Spock. That's just another kind of stupid.)
