Yes 32, very strange that no other ships were present. As cliched as it is , once again the Enterprise was the only ship in range and this time in range meant near earth. Everyone else must’ve chickened out and warped away. Wish there would have been a fleet present. Would’ve been even more great reference shots for scratchbuilt modeling. Oh well.

I had the same reaction as #16, but I thought it was more brainless on Kirk’s part than just being un Trek-like. Yes, Nero and his entire crew deserved to die for destroying Vulcan and going after Earth. There’s no question about that. However, the Narada was imploding on itself; their entire payload of red matter went off, so even if the Enterprise didn’t stay for that extra minute to shoot at it (which they shouldn’t have done because they could’ve gained enough momentum to get away before the black hole started sucking THEM in), the ship and everyone on it was done for and Nero knew that.

All-in-all, I would’ve handled the final confrontation better. I would’ve had the Enterprise (and other ships…where were they by the way? Did the Federation send its entire fleet to Vulcan and leave Earth defenseless?) fight the Narada head on while Spock and Kirk were doing their thing. It would’ve been more epic, but I guess they spent enough money already. :P

Nero was essentially a temporal terrorist. His actions will have seriously embarrassed the (then-reclusive) Romulans. There’s every possibility that they completely disavowed Nero’s actions and agreed to the Federation wiping out Nero to avoid any problems coming their way. The Romulans in Universe-1 looked on Vulcan with greed and as a valuable resource: one significant enough that they were willing to invade it. Nero has robbed the Universe-2 Romulans of that, although given them a future (going on the logical assumption that the Narada red-mattered the Hobus Star before zapping Vulcan.) The Romulans can now, of course, offer to ‘aid’ the surviving Vulcans and try to assimilate them and their knowledge into their own empire. Of course, Universe-1’s Spock will no doubt be advising against this!

The transporter would not have worked, according to Hawking.

I like the idea of peace with the Romulans. It means we can have Saavik back & what a love triangle that would be with Spock & Uhura & Saavik.

But there is also no guarantee that the transporters would have functioned properly near the black hole. :-)

With Vulcan destroyed at the hands of a crazed and powerful Romulan, I think it would be great to see a sequel to “Star Trek” in which the Romulans have made peace with the Federation and reached out to the homeless Vulcans. A peaceful Vulcan-Romulan alliance is thus created that in turn topples the Romulan dictatorship and ushers in a lasting peace with the Federation. This would be a great new direction to take the franchise and open up a whole new universe. Imagine the emotional Romulan vs. logical Vulcan dichotomy — it would be hilarious.

“They didn’t have the time to beam the Romulans aboard the Enterprise.”

But there would be if Nero had accepted Kirk´s offer, right? ;-) ;-)

They didn’t have the time to beam the Romulans aboard the Enterprise. They were being sucked into the black hole and needed all their power to escape.

As for the Hobus nova it was probably absorbed by the black hole.

“Face it; Kirk Prime would have done the same as alternate Kirk. It was the only way to save the galaxy. Nero showed no remorse. Besides, “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few (the Narada), or the one (Nero).”

Destroynig the Narada is ok but why not beam the survivors, the situation here can not be compared with the above mentioned Borg, Duras and whatnot…
Going a little off topic, has anyone ever thought about what happens to the Hobus star after is was “sucked” by the singularity Spock created in the Prime Universe? If the Narada and Jellyfish traveled through time, it seems logical the remains of the star also did and whatever made that star so “special” that it could threaten the universe could now “contaminate” some star on the JJverse… not to mentin the JJverse Hobus star can have the same fate in the future… :)
