Since things doesnt add up, and since star-trek has a mirror universe, could it be that Abrahams new movie takes place in the mirror universe?
If so, the consistancy of the show can be maintained, perhaps by the alternative Kirk ending up in normal-trek universe (where the planets Vulcan and Romulus are not destroyed) and get killed somehow.
That would be a good ending for Abrahams planned trilologi I think. We can have one more movie with good looking eye-candy, and perhaps a third one - as long as it introduced the normal universe of trek at the end, and that the alternative-Kirk gets blown up together with his ship.
