In any new TNG era series they will have to...

Yuck, I'd rather not mix Abrams trek with prime Trek, thank you. When I play Star Trek online I had better fucking see Romulus there, intact, and fully explorable or away goes me and the SO's subscription.

Seriously, no joke. That is a deal breaker.

Rather not mix it, but tough shit, it's canon.

Amazing, all the canon whores going around, yet they have no choice but to deal with the destruction of Romulus.

I hope it's not there on Star Trek Online, as that'll be the next chronological step in the canon, I'd love to see how the Romulans are dealing without Romulus (and presumably Remus). Infact saying that, I think it would be AWESOME if the events of Romulus' destruction is an event, like the Matrix Online game has those events.

Maybe I missed something...however doesn't future knowledge of the supernova mean that the Federation has time to prepare to avert it? Or evacuate Romulus?

Thats allowed now. Battlestar did it so its fine.

Please dont compare Battlestar Galactica (2003) in anyway to the SHIT that is Star Trek and all its related media..

We're going to get along swimmingly. I can feel it!

you agree? with what exactly?

But who would watch it?

I would.

If it's done by the TNG era production crew it might actually be good! But I wouldn't let JJ's people touch anything that has to do with Trek Prime. Why? The movie viewscreens are a good example!

The viewscreens/windows make perfect sense if you've ever worked in an office without windows. If its wrong to have windows on the bridge, why isn't located deep within the vessle, where it would be less vulnerable.

Whether it was an oversight or a budget concern, the lack of windows has now been addressed. Its called progress and hardly a senseless departure from tradition. As real technology advances, so will our predictions of the future. If trek is to be boxed in by some 60s/80s aesthetic then it deserves the death of obscurity it will receive.

I understand windows but the cracking made it look like glass. Wouldn't they have used transparent aluminium?

They could always say that the future-Spock and Nero came from an alternate alternate universe, that was nearly identical to our own except that in our universe a carbon atom on the far side of the cosmos bonded with an oxygen atom, and in the alternate universe it didn't.

This is chiefly why I prefer a single-universe theory for the purposes of storytelling. It avoids all the BS that the storywriters can throw at you later on if they so choose.
