That would make sense if we'd ever been shown Starfleet as having the same presence on other planets that they do on Earth. Vulcan is one of the Federation's founders, but Kirk & Co. still had to go all the way back to Earth to stand trial.

Yeah, we've got a whole new universe. Don't want to stray too far from what we've had before.
Doesn't them destroying Vulcan, killing Amanda, reconciling Spock & Sarek years earlier than the Prime Universe and making Spock and Uhura a couple prove that that's exactly what they're not doing?
Pfft. Any true Trekkie would know that Spock & Uhura were originally meant to be a couple back in the sixties, but that it was deemed to be too risqué.
Well there's also the fact the Starfleet Command, Starfleet Academy, and the Federation Council would have been taken out effectivly taking out the Federation's military and civilian government and leaving them open to an invasion by either the Romulan or Klingon Empire who sure as hell would take advantage of the oportunity.

You're projecting wishful thinking onto something never established.No, no, he's right! I read it somewhere online, so it must be true!

And that doesn't suggest possible storylines to you? Imagine if we'd gotten a Kirk who saved Vulcan but lost Earth. Same outcome only reversed. Would he be quite so cocky? How many times has Earth been threatened in the movies or on TV? What would it look like if someone actually suceeded?
Starfleet would be badly hurt but not wiped out. After all, there's a bunch of starbases out there.
- A true origin movie for the X-Men that didn't have Wolverine as a focal point. He should be a loaner and reluctant member of the team.
-Reese Witherspoon as Gwen Stacy in the first "Spider-Man" film and Alicia Witt as Mary Jane parker.
-Spider-Man 3 with no Sandman (thus not wasting Thomas Hayden Church' talent) but that featured Harry becoming Hobgoblin and Venom not sucking and making awkward sexual sidecracks from Topher Grace)
-Talia Al'Ghul included in some fashion in "Batman Begins" (Denny O'Neil had Ra's writing correspondence letters with her in the novelization)
-A Good Wing Commander movie that didn't show case young and upcoming stars
- An original Superman movie from Bryan Singer and not one that paid homage or took place vaguely in the Donner'Verse. Kevin Spacey doing his own take on Lex Luthor and not challenging Gene Hackman.

Heheh sure why not

Good casting. And I assume you meant to type "Watson" here?
Personally, I would've axed Venom from the movie. He was a lot more disposable plot-wise. And I also would have done away with the Sandman's connection to Ben Parker's murder.
GREY'S ANATOMY. Six months after Katherine Heigl officially leaves, they have a gunman show up and kill two interns. They should have had her character Dr. Izzie Stevens come back "to stay" in the episode before, and it should have been her who gets shot dead in the head in the Teaser out of nowhere in last season's finale. It would have been the biggest shocker ever on the show and they only needed her to come back for 20 minutes of filming total for two episodes.
THE PHANTOM MENACE. When Qui-Gonn and Obi-Wan walk through the shield into the Gungan city (a shield you can walk through but it holds back water), they should have had their lightsabers blocked by the shield and they had to physically pull them through.
JEDI - More Ewoks die besides just one. An At-At crouching down and blasting the forest.
She whips them out in a movie, I saw it. She's leaning over a guy and they dangle in all their full milky-white soft-pink goodness.
National Treasure. Nick Cage's enemy was quite upset when his (really really close?) friend died while trying to get the treasure. It was a Disney movie, but it seemed like they were gay. Lex Luthor in Superman Returns never once wrote off his new friends as cannon fodder, I think he cared about them too but just didn't a chance to save any of them.
There's a scene towards the end where for ONE FRAME you can see the old B&W King Kong on top of the building swatting at the biplanes. I caught it on FX last month and rewound it because I saw the flicker.
