I dunno, that's asking too much.Perhaps they should rewatch the movie and pay attention this time.
...hang on, isn't a lot of the whining that goes on about NuTrek actually BECAUSE the creators are supposedly "pandering to the lowest common denominator"...ya can't get much lower than stupid!

True which is probably why so many of them think the TOS universe has been destroyed when the movie clearly states that its a alternate timeline. They either weren't listening or just don't understand. The only thing I can figure is that the part where NuSPock mentions a alternates timeline is so short and almost a throwaway line that some might have missed it. Most of the movie Prime Spock is acting like the NuUniverse has to have Kirk in charge of the Enterprise to make things right even though its 10 plus years to early for Kirk to even be the captain. It almost seems like Prime Spock thinks he is in his own universe with a changed timeline. I think the writers didn't think the whole time travel/Alternate universe concept through clearly enough or decided to change course form the TOS universe being changed completely to a alternated universe being created as a result of the red matter time travel incident.

Yeah, can we not call other fans stupid, please?
Doc's chalkboard diagram is the perfect visualization for nuTrek. I think Squiggles even used it to make his own visual aid once.
I'm willing to walk it back to "ignorant" and/or "distracted", cause there's really no other way to miss one of the only PrimeTrek style exposition scenes in the two NuTrek films so far.
"Distracted" works, but I think I'd even leave "ignorant" alone.
There's also the fact that Jennifer was left on her porch in "evil" 1985, yet somehow rematerialised in the "proper" 1985 once the almanac business was sorted. If the other 1985 was indeed an alternate timeline (as Doc describes) then poor Jennifer should have been trapped there at best, faded out of existence at worst!
Chekov's conception is a post Nero incursion event.There hasn't been a firm consensus, certainly nothing established on screen, but there *is* a train of thought in the fandom that certain things in the JJTrek-verse were already different even before Nero's incursion. One which EAS has explored in detail is Chekov, who (it turns out) probably can't be a 1:1 of 'our' Chekov, as the ages are straight out wrong (so, at the very least, Mommy and Daddy Chekov in the JJ-verse must have had their child several years apart from their Prime seves, albeit they still named him Pavel, but he probably isn't actually biologically the same person in both universes, unlike some of the other characters who might still be effectively the same guy or gal as their Prime universe self despite any changes).
Maybe the Narada and the Jellyfish both managed to not only cross backwards in time, but also *sidewards* in space? Who knows, maybe due to the 'wildcard' that was the Red Matter being involved, if this isn't exactly what happened.
