Re: Anyone else pick up the nod to 'Enterprise' (the show)?
that already happens in the final scene of the novellization of the movie.
I actually watched the credits because I thought that might be a quick post-credits scene! Although I'm bummed my prediction was wrong, I love the fact that it's the last line in the novel! Great minds I guess. 
Personally I thought the eel used on Pike looked more like the parasites from the TNG-episode 'Conspiracy' than the Ceti eels.
I took the scene with Titan as a TNG reference to Titan's Turn (Chain of Command). It was nice and subtle. Also, maybe this was just an inference, but Spock being there might have been a reference to Unification.

Enterprise was the biggest single reason a reboot was necessary, and it doesn't get rebooted? I don't buy it. Makes no sense.
The reference to Archer only proves that it's a different continuity. The Archer you're thinking of would have kicked the bucket when Scotty was in diapers.

The Tribble was behind Scotty in a cage in a few shots when he is sitting in his chair in the Delta Vega-outpost.
I loved McCoy's 'Where is Chapel!?'.

I thought the same thing.
I'm sure THAT WAS intentional...

The constant references to "the original universe" and its shows/movies really proved to me that this movie was a labor of love and not simply a mullah-machine.
They could have just as easily left it all out and nobody would really notice (e.g. Pike and the wheelchair).....at least nobody that wouldn't complain anyway.
That's fantastic. I gotta go watch it again to catch little stuff like this.

Agreed, but I also found it kind of odd, like, they were making a huge step to say: "Hey this is a new timeline." yet they also included a LOT of stuff to indicate that this was at least very similar to the old timeline. I really enjoyed the Kobyashi Maru plot, as Khan is, and always shall be, my friend.

Colour me LOL. I bet it takes at least two more movies before he starts putting the facts together.
One of the Admirals presiding at Kirk's post-Kobayashi Maru hearing was Admiral Komack.
If I'm not mistaken, in the mirror universe episode of Enterprise, the computer screen indicates that Archer (who attains the rank of Admiral) died the day after he witnessed the launch of the NCC-1701, so its perfectly reasonable to assume that this is the same Archer that Scotty metions. I doubt, however, that the beagle is Porthos. Probably another beagle that Archer got after Porthos.
I thought that the Centauri creature looked JUST like the Ceti Eels. There are any number of possible explanations for the name change.
