Now that the Star Trek timeline has been altered what new questions are now raised?
1. Will the two new black holes close to Earth alter the "nexus"?
2. What of Lazerus? What of Lazerus? (The Alternative Factor)
3. Will be get to see Admirial Garth?
4. How will Pike contribute to Starfleet? Who will discover the plaent of Talos 4???
5. In the next movie, will we see the "classic" Klingons?
etc., etc.,
Answer to all; they’re just making this up as they go. So far so good.
The entire point is that it is a new continuity, a reboot. But if this film’s performance is any indication of future installments, they will be outstanding.
ANSWER:
All bets are off...
The timeline change allows them to do ANYTHING they choose to, under the guise of an “Alternate” Universe, that isn’t the touchy, feely liberal utopia that the Federation was before.
Didn’t think I’d like it, but I do. It opens a whole world of possibilities, and could keep the franchise going for decades.
Did Tuvok’s ancestors survive the destruction of Vulcan?

Just think about hot green skinned women. You’d be surprised how many problems that solves.
The new timeline is unwritten. Why, in all the shows that dealt with time, where they obsessed with altering the timeline? This is what happens, a clean slate.
Some folks are complaining that this does ruin all the other Star Treks, but I think it is right in line with a theme they always had when dealing with time travel, but this time, instead of succeeding in preserving it, they failed and it is altered.
Repeat to yourself “it’s just a show
I should really just relax”
Will Spock “prime” warn them about V-GER, the need for whales, and Khan?
i just want to know.. if they’re gonna do an alternate timeline/ universe type of thing, why didn’t they just do an entire “mirror, mirror” movie?
If Spock Prime is now living 127 years before the destruction of Romulus by the supernovae, why does he not take that information to the Romulans along with the evidence of the “future’ mining ship etc. and start the evacuation of Romulus in a few decades.
Then Nero is not pissed off and he does not steal the red matter, and then he doesn't destroy Vulcan which now is back in the past, doesn't kill Kirk's daddy, etc....
See, I love paradoxes, especially when they stop them from going full circle for a plot device.
Everything will be fine as long as T’pol is okay. And make sure Elaan of Troyius, the Romulan Commander (Joanne Linville) and Elizabeth Dehner make it through unscathed. (There are a few other Trek super-babes I’ve probably overlooked, but these are the ones who come to mind immediately.)
She’s enough to make a guy go vegan, or at least
eat brussel sprouts.
...then none of this happens so Spock doesn't end up in the future knowing the fate in order to take it back in time to warn the Romulans in the first place.. and so on and so on and so on..
I want to know why the Romulans had to drill into the core of a planet to set off the 'red matter' when it was pretty obvious at the end, it didn't need much help in creating a singularity. That would have saved them a lot of trouble. Just drop a dot off in space and blast it with a phaser or something.
Who cares?? Just go back to your parents basement and continue playing D & D.
