243. fred: ‘Probably whatever planet(s) is/are blown up by Nero are restored by Spock’s efforts before the end. So, we may see them go bye-bye but only temporarily.’

Please God! I hope not! Plot resets are the work of the terminally unimaginative! It ruined countless TNG era stories. Abrams strives for a realistic feel in his work. In real life, actions have consequences and you live with them. That’s kind of the point of the new film as well. The past can’t be undone!

And why get an audience to invest in a new Trek, then undo what they’ve just watched!

236, you are most likely correct that the race would not become extinct but it could be the end of their government and culture. You’re most likely correct that any future on-screen Star Trek stories would take place in the new timeline but the books and STO follow the regular timeline. Both would have to work on their story outlines to match up with the destruction of Romulus in 2387, which would be a major event in Star Trek history.

237, I couldn’t agree more.

235, again with the insults. “A closed mind is an empty mind.” It’s sad really. You have my pity.

242, I agree that blowing up Romulus isn’t necessary. The good thing is that if Romulus is never mentioned in the film and the only references are “Nero’s homeworld,” or something to that effect then the destruction of Romulus is not canon as comic books have never been, and never will be, canon. That’s what I’m hoping for. The film itself looks exciting and it looks like its going to be an excellent film that just might rejuvenate the franchise. I certainly hope so.

243, that’s certainly a possibility.

I’m also thinking that if Romulus had “a few weeks” after the star went Nova then it’s possible that the government escaped. After all, the first people to leave in any evacuation is the government (in order to prevent national collapse and to provide a quick response to emergencies) and the last people to leave are first responders because they are trying to help the populace evacuate and to provide services to those who refuse to leave.

When Nero hangs any surviviving 23rd Century Christians on crosses attached to the walls of the Colliseum, then we know we have come full-circle. There are some similarities to work I put up about the history of Vulcan / Romulan relations that indeed did have a Roman connection, and looks like they may be using some of it, as they did ask me to send them all of the links. They didn’t ask me to take the links down – I took them down myself once I knew what they wanted to do with them. But the story sounds fascinating. Note the part that reads as follows: A machine of war bursts into existence in a place and time it was never meant to be. Yeah – that’s sweet … very sweet.

DC retcons & reboots their continuity themselves every 20 years or so.

Do I now have to put up with that in Star Trek, just because DC
prints their comic books?

The Suliban/temporal ‘cold war’ in “Enterprise” was bad enough, I consider
“Enterprise” to be set on, oh let’s call it “Earth 7A”, or something like that.

I don’t think blowing up Romulus is that useful. Time travel was always a writer’s cop-out in TOS, and it’s still a cop-out today.

Okay, trying not to sound like an idiot here in case everybody else knows the answer to my question. I have not read Countdown, and I’m wondering if it says why Nero is going after Kirk if it’s Spock he hates. Also, the planet Romulus does not “explode into little bits”, it implodes on itself. And I hope that if the book starts out with Spock’s birth that it keeps to canon and has the whole ’so human’ comment from Sarek, because that can really explain parts to new fans. I for one, though I will probably enjoy the new movie, am pretty sure I will not consider it canon, just a movieisized fanfic.
TWOK has its moral moments, too, as did Nemisis. I hope there will be some in this movie.
Also, I loved that part in the trailer where Spock hugs Uhura. This is going to be really great.

I just saw the new trailer and it was very entertaining. The interesting feeling I got from watching the montage of events was either “they” tried too hard in making this movie, or focused special and the promise of solid character development to lure everyone in.

I’m as excited as everyone, but the last several movies have really let me down as a fan and follower of the franchise.

I’ll be one of the first in line for this one and while I was sounding more like a “devlils advocate” earlier, I hope . . . I really hope that everyone got the movie “right” this time.

Time will tell ;)

See ya all at the first IMAX midnight showing.
