Who said anything about blowing up Romulus? I never heard that.
If Vulcan… (spoilers)

In the comics but I don't know how canon it is.
^^I haven't seen the comics yet, I'm waiting for the trade paperback. Already pre-ordered it.
Scotty: "I like duct tape. It's sticky. And exciting."
We'll they both have colonies so there probably will still be a significant number of boths groups left in their respective universes.
Hint: It involves Sulu in a Vulcan dress.
Whilst we don't know whether or not the comics are canon I would have to assume that Nero's motivation for revenge is consistent with the movie. I think it highly likely that the destruction of Romulus will be mentioned on screen!
In the Trek-Lit forum someone posted a link to the back-cover of the novelization of this film, and it clearly makes mention to Nero out for revenge over the annihilation of his world (which has to be Romulus). So I guess the planet imploding in the trailer could be Romulus, although it seems a bit brown...
One of the trailers (or maybe it was the TV spot) shows Nero's weapon being deployed on San Francisco so I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that is Vulcan in the trailer being sucked into the blackhole, that the timeline won't be restored leaving it destroyed and that the movies climax will see Kirk and the gang saving Earth from certain destruction in typical Trek movie fashion. If it is just some random planet that we see getting destroyed or the original timeline is restored at the end of the movie then Abrams won't have removed the biggest obstacle to creating dramatic tension in prequel movies - ie that everyone knows the fate of all the key players and knows that they all survive. By wiping out Vulcan in his first movie and leaving it destroyed Abrams is saying to the audience that nobody is safe. Who knows maybe in the next movie Spock will die and be replaced as first officer with Gary Mitchell or Scotty might by bite the dust and have Welshy take up the mantle instead.
Minor quibble, the "new" timelines aren't created under many worlds explanation of quantum theory, but rather always exist.
Overenthusiasm notwithstanding, this is much more intuitive manner of depicting time travel, even if it is not the actual case.
ok ,im new hi !!!!please dont read this post if you havent seen the film !!!!!!
spock recons that there is 10,000 vulcans left by the end (i saw it yday) this means its highly likely tuvok doesnt exist which means he doesnt spy on the maqui ( bad spellin i know) ship which means its quite likely that voyager didnt get sent to the delta quadrent (if voyager exists at all) .
the vulcans were a major influence on the federation in technology terms which means many things may not be invented , BUT future spock is still here he has alot of knowledge of the future so i spose he could help things , and they could reverse engineer spocks ship .
Now with the vulcans dead the romulans might be a bit more co-operative with the federation in the future that could change the future alot to.
in the next film maybe if the vulcans used the rest of the red matter to destroy romulous then nero wouldnt be alive in the future to destroy vulcan thus vulcan would be ok BUT then no one in the new alternate universe would destroy romulous so it would all happen again wouldnt it ? so many ideas better stop now n e way my head hurts from that little stream of conciousness !

If Vulcan is destroyed in an implosion, as many fear, what consequences will that have for the Federation? The timeline? What important events will be the most effected? How would it change what we know as Star Trek?

Whow! One of my old threads has returned from the dead?!
As many have said here we know nothing now for sure, that is exciting. I'll tell ya what is still coming... Doomsday machine, giant amoeba, Nomad, Whale Probe, V'Ger... those things ARE out there moving, killing billions. The Enterprise may not be the one to face them all now but they are out there.
Kirk takes command of the Enterprise in 2258, around, what, 5 years sooner than before... someone tell me if I'm wrong. That will give the crew of the Enterprise more time out there so who knows.
This stuff still hurts my brain.

and, without the Vulcans to fix it, won't that nova do even more damage?
Well Spock seems to have been bonking Uhura for a while now. Case closed when the seven-year itch roles around again.
