Whether you liked or loved what they did with trek XI the writers can just carry on with the prime timeline we all are familiar with in the follow up with no need for explanations.that was an alternate timeline so can be dismissed as such.i cant see how things can carry on with the changes they have made.i mean no vulcan !

Sentence structure. Punctuation. Capitalizing. Did we not pay attention in GRADE SCHOOL? |

Destroying Vulcan was extremely necessary from a dramatic standpoint in this film.
1- One of the problems with Star Trek over the last 15 years was (IMO) unwillingness to take real risks with the audience and an unwillingness to do anything that is "shocking" or "game-changing."
2- The inherent problem with "prequels" is that everyone already knows what is going to happen, so the suspense and drama can only be so intense. If I know that Anikin becomes Darth Vader and I know that Obi-Wan kicks his butt in a fight...how much can I truly be invested in that story?
So, this "prequel" was put in the alternate timeline to avoid issue #2. Vulcan was destroyed and Amanda killed to drill home that issue #1 wasn't going to be a problem in Star Trek any longer...and that all bets are off in this alternate universe.
So, the audiences get the characters the love but we eliminate the idea of the "prequel pitfall" but demonstrating that anything can and will happen to these people. There is a real sense of drama and danger now. The audience can be emotionally invested again.

Isn't going to happen. They will run with this idea for a while. And they should. It needs to play out. The next movies turnout will give us an idea of longevity for the franchise. I see two options 1. XII is a success. From there we get more movies and maybe in the years to come a series. 2. XII is a flop. Star Trek goes back into hibernation for anther 5-7 years. Which would you prefer? Personally I'd rather have some ST than no ST. |

Frankly I don't care, since I am only interested in the prime timeline... so either it's a success and we will have more of JJ Trek, or it fails and we will have no Trek. My hope is that CBS will try to pick up on the success and will create a new show, set in the prime timeline. If that happens... I wish the movies a good run, to keep the interest in TREK. I know... it's selfish...   |

I again, would be totally surprised, if the movies did well not to set a series in the new timeline. I'd rather see more TNG prime universe, but I think that ship as sailed (so to speak! |

No TNG, no DS9, no VOY, no ENT and no TOS for me.
I want something new, fresh, original.
There are so many things they could do for a TV show... they should just read the recent books to get some ideas ("Articles of the Federation" or "Singular Destiny" for example).
