Oh dear lord.
Why the hell would a pissed-off space trucker be granted access to some of the highest technology the quadrant has to offer?
This is like Cletus watching Podunk, MS gettin' all blowed up (losing Fred in the attack) and suddenly the frakking CIA is putting top-secret Skunk Works DARPA shit all over his 18 wheeler.
Seriously, is that the best the comics guys could come up with?
Nero was involved with the Romulan senate and one of the only Romulans warning about the supernova. Read the comic, he kills the Preator and theres some dialog about taking the staff (that he later uses to kill Captain Robau)... Also, not all truckers are hicks, I kinda resent that stereotype!
Re: Spcok
I was just thinking about whales and the probe. In this current timeline, history 'records' Kirk in 1986 and stealing two whales and Gillian Taylor in a Klingon Bird of Prey, but in this new time line, there are no whales, so in theory, if Pine-Kirk was to travel to 1986 and try to capture some whales, wouldn't he in theory run into Shatner-kirk trying to do the same thing?

Think so, yes. Which would be awesome. Kirk and Kirk could have a tug-of-war over a whale pup, the tugging sounding like creaking balloons, while Spock and Spock try to outsmart eachother with vulcan Stooges-slaps and pinches. *cue "Yakety Sax"*

He's in a tangent universe created by events in a future that now cannot come to pass (or at least his parts won't, presumably that star will still go nova). But if anybody could get over a hurdle like that, it's Spock.
That's no diffrent than traveling from the Mirror Universe, is it?

Oh please. That's just another silly 'Bring Back Kirk' fan film

I did postulate before I saw the movie that some of the differences (ie ship and costume designs) that appeared to have been in place prior to Nero's arrival would be a result of some or all of the Trek-Prime being negated or altered.

First: Hello, there (please don't be a asshat website spammer. please, don't be a spammer)
Second: No shit, asshat (dun dun dun!)
Third: Welcome to SciFi hell. how may we serve you?
*giggles* Seriously, welcome. To say things are different because of the loss the Kelvin, is a understatement. What interests me what they (paramount) plans to do with this, in terms of what is cannon, what direct the books go, etc. will they release a line of JJ-trek books?
I dunno. considering how many people they fired from the editorial staff of the main book producer... who knows.

Dont mind Pensive, he's kind of our resident jackass as a hobby. I'm the professional full-time jackass and I'll be your case worker for the duration of your stay (get the thorazine, someone- he's going to make a break for it).
There should be no changes to the Primeline- obviously there are many variations to the new movie's universe from what we are accumstomed to.
The loss of editorial staff at Pocket is an ill omen of things in the Trek expanded universe to say the least- bad enough there is no one to reign in that idiot Peter David on his slapstick New Frontier books.
It could also be the death-knell for another SOTL coffee table book dealie.

My God...
Incidentally, there are like four books coming out which will deal with the aftermath of STXI. Judging by the titles, most of them seem to deal with the Vulcans finding a new home.
