Abrams seems to operate his shows on such story arcs, and Paramount would be smart to encourage such. That way the Star Trek genre be could renewed every 10 years with new ideas and new energy. Paramount would never go bankrupt!
So after the timeline is reset after 5 movies, a new rebirth and refreshing of the Star Trek franchise can be enjoyed by all as well as fresh profits for Paramount!
Dr. Who has had a few successful reimaginings, so why not Star Trek?
I just wish that James Cameron could have had a crack at one of the Star Trek movies, or perhaps a stand alone Federation based movie with lots of fire power, sweating space soldiers and lots of mean Borg to fight! Cameron’s take on character depth would really give Star Trek some punch, not that Abrams does that badly!
