I have no problem with 3D, and fully expected it for this one. We want ST to be successful and popular, and most recent successful, popular movies are in 3D. I've seen some great 3D movies in recent years - both filmed-in-3D and converted-to-3D - and if that's the way to draw in even more general cinema-goers, then why not? The ST fanbase alone does not buy enough tickets. "Nemesis" proved that.

3D also means there will be a 3D TV Blu-Ray release alongside the regular DVD and Blu-Ray discs.

TOS in syndication prime time reruns had a big, reliable following because it was accessible to the general public over many years. TNG in first-run syndication built a huge audience that ensured that the franchise sold lots of merchandise.

People also forget that "ST III: The Search for Spock" was, at one point, announced as being in 3D. There were plans for funky, collectible, ST 3D Starfleet glasses, too.

Technically, this is 4 years after the last movie and the original series only lasted 3 seasons so continuity wise, this would place the storyline in season 4, which we as fans never got to see. Can we assume that the first 3 years of the 5 year mission of AbramsTrek were similar or the same as TOS. Of course, the timeline change might have thrown a few things off, but theoretically I think you can make the arguments that most of the events of the original TOS timeline probably unfolded in much the same way.

Wow I hope you're joking but I suspect not sadly

Sure, let's assume that anything we don't see changed remains the same. Why not?
