Eh, it was the Cardassians and Romulans that decided to wipe out their homeworld without the Federations knowledge, then refused to own up, allowing the Dominion to wage war on them in particular and take the brunt of their clusterfuck.

Maybe? But we never see the Federation go "my bad" when they violated their territory. Even Kirk understood that sometimes people don't want someone they don't know in their backyard.
You can't just secretly call dibs on a quarter of the galaxy, including territory you're not physically holding and societies and planets you're not interacting with, and then enforce that territoriality retroactively, wiping out established colonies and outposts with little or no warning and destroying Federation ships. Whatever mistakes the Federation might have made, the Dominion was an evil, conquering, racist, genocidal empire that was completely in the wrong for its actions.
The Dominion was evil. But that doesn't excuse the Federation's poor handling of the situation. Like driving into their (claimed) territory twice with battleships (Odyssey, Defiant). If they make a claim, then you work on negotiations. You don't send in battleships. That's liable to piss off the most stable of people.
By the 24th century, and after the massacre on Cestus III, the Federation should have a better handle on how to operate.

The Dominion genetically engineered a couple of slave races to serve them. Not sure how that isn't evil. By our definition of evil.
Or we could just have a conversation like normal people without turning it into a Philosophy 101 course.
Until you can get inside their heads and understand their culture, you really have no other way to judge them.
If there's a test I'm cribbing off of you.

Paramount are trying to get all their ducks in a row in China with TMNT and STB being marketed by Alibaba.
With ST09 taking about $8.5m in 2009 and STiD taking about $57m in 2013, I'm hoping STB can break $100m this year.

Yelchin's comments on lack of footage, for the time being. Nothing major or what we didn't already know.
Just over 4 weeks to the fan event.

STB isn't a trilogy wrap up

(maybe Orcis was intended to wrap things up?)

More than happy for this series to go on with different writers and directors.
Interesting to note that JL was in China as part of the Alibaba announcements of investing in and marketing STB.
In the promotional picture, it looks like Pine is being prepped for a pretty intense scene. Commander's chair of the Franklin, maybe?
I don't think it is spoilage, only a rumor, but in the mists of my mind, I remember Orci's story supposedly had something to do with the possibility of restoring the timeline to pre-Nero. Some Vulcans were apparently willing to attempt it, and I guess the story went from there. Again, this may have been just a rumor, but I do remember reading it, and it does tie into the other two movies by brining in the timeline.

Yeah, pretty big. China is picking up some of the PRODUCTION budget, making any risk less risky. I think we will see China easily push STB into the $500 million range.
I'm a bit more optimistic. I reckon STB will easily reach $600m.
We'll have a better idea once the 2nd trailer and behind the scenes stuff come out on May 20th.
If that happens somebody at Paramount is probably is going to do a happy dance.
