I give it a pass in Star Trek II because, while they do have some throwaway lines that suggest David was an accident and Carol never told him Kirk was his father, I can squint and pretend Carol and Kirk just decided to have a child and then their relationship didn't work out and Kirk's rarely been around. (This seems to be what they're pointing to in Strange New Worlds, I think.)

But overall, yes. It's bizarre.
