This sure looks like (Spoilers)

[Kemaiku]

I agree with Chemahkuu that it's probably Romulus (it might be a Hobus-system planet flashback, but that seems less likely) and probably Vulcan.

And a side-note to M'Sharak for scaling-down large images and linking rather than just replacing them with text links. More time-consuming, but that's some damn fine moderating!

I'd like to think its the star we're seeing in the back ground since it does look like the surface of an expanding star rather than the shockwave its supposed to be. And it would explain the absense of Remus.

But it would be a waste of time and CGI to show some unimportant system and there are large cities visible on the surface. So this is more than likely Romulus, creating a real damned headache as to where her sister planet has gone.

Why? How close together in space are Romulus and Remus supposed to be?

Mars could be called Earth's sister planet, and it's not exactly easy to see from my window right now. Besides, you have to be looking in the right direction...

If that collapsed planet is Vulcan, it might explain why (rumor) Spock is so emotionally out of whack, and why Kirk ends up in command.

I agree. We saw what a destroyed Vulcan science ship did to Spock in TOS. I imagine a whole planet would really f*ck him up.

Wow, I love this idea.

That's a very good point, I think.

From the visual in Nemesis, the diagram Data provides and the description in Kobayashi Maru at the distance the "camera" is from Romulus in the comic and film Remus should be entirely visible within the scene as well.

 

[Kaziarl]

Its the planet Vulcan, but unknown to Nero a single experimental ship, created by Serek escapes. Years later, Spock goes on a journey to find this ship. Nero catches wind and pursues, trying to destroy the ship that is said to bring new hope to vulcan. However, the new ship destroys nero's ship, and the resulting energy from the blast creates a new planet called Bob... err... New Vulcan.

Where's Remus in this shot?

And the diagram shows that they don't orbit each other and that they have close orbits that aren't synchronized...

... meaning that they're only close sometimes, like perhaps once in a year or more.

 

[Captain Pike]

Destroying home worlds is so passe.. sooo RTD in 2005.. yawn.

 

[EJA]

I will hate the movie if Vulcan is destroyed in the TOS timeframe.

 

[Cheebo]

I will hate the movie if Vulcan is destroyed in the TOS timeframe.

You realize that while this is a prequel, it involves someone time traveling from the future so the past can easily be altered by Nero and co. and still be canon right?

Just like Yesterday's Enterprise. The past got altered but it was still part of the actual series and timeframe.

I don't see why anyone needs to get upset about it, Nero could destroy ALL the planets and it would still be part of the same "timeframe" "canon" or whatever.

Everything from Enterprise through Nemesis happens THEN Nero goes back in time and does whatever he dies.

View this as a sequel to Nemesis, not a prequel that is set in stone ala the star wars prequels. It's canon/timeframe stuff is far more in comon with say a film like Terminator 2 in how it works.

 

[Nero's Shadow]

first planet looks like romulus the 2nd not 2 sure could be vulcan if it is big plot shock this would make vulcan,s go a bit mad hence spock goin angry and not controlling his emotions and he is half human and half vulcan !!!!!!!!!!!! may 8th we will find out all the answers ?

 

[StarMan]

*Leaving* Vulcan destroyed in TOS timeframe would suprise me - if it's destroyed in the first place.

Then again, if they want to go for a balls to the wall reimagining/reboot, blowing Vulcan up gets it off to a good start.

I can handle some minor differences, but I still reckon there's such a thing as TOO MUCH of a change when you're dealing with an ongoing franchise.

 

[EmperorTiberius]

wow a lot of planets being blown up by Nero. Apparently his family name is Laden.

 

[SalvorHardin]

Well, at least I'll say this about Nero... he wants to destroy planets and planets he destroys.
Unlike many other badguys who were all talk and never destroyed anything but maybe a few ships

It remains to be seen which of those planets will remain destroyed.

 

[blaXXer]

OF COURSE! Remus collapses because of too much Dilithium mining (similar to what happened to the Klingon Moon Praxis in Undiscovered country) and the resulting collapse and destruction sends a firey shockwave which destroys Romulus!

The shockwave is caused by a supernova, read the comics, willya?

yeah a special supernova that grows. and we need some special decalithium to make red matter to make an artificial black hole to swallow up the supernova.

in the science department, the comic was a little dumb.
