Insightful, once you get through all the fluff. Harry, you make a better writer.

Hummmm....
It sounds vaguely familiar...
Very much in the spirit of the New Voyages "In Harms Way" episode.
A lot of similarities:
- Instead of the Doomsday machine going back in time and altering the timeline, it's a group of Romulans.
- Vulcan is destroyed in the new timelines of both stories
- Spock is the lone Vulcan who knows about the change & attempts to set things right.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear planet Gateway is involved in shielding Nimoy's Spock and his memories from the timeline rift (as in the New Voyages ep)
Of course if done incorrectly JJ could be establishing a timeline where the Kirk & Crew that we know and love, and all their exploits as chronicled in TOS - Never happened, or may never have happened, depending on JJ's whim. This type of reboot has been the death of many a series in the past. Dallas' dream season comes to mind - as does the 'canon reboot' presented in the XFiles movie (that pretty much killed off the series)
When a hard core fan base that memorizes the episodes of a series to the point where words like 'Canon' are used - is told that all that crap they've committed to memory is now undone, or may or may not have happened, your going to have some seriously POed fans that could leave in droves.
Of course this could be the plan, covertly hatched by Bill and JJ, to finally allow us: Klingon speaking, Live Long And Prosper spouting, Kobioshi Maru loving nit wits, to finally - Get A Life!  |

It is a 3 movie deal, from what I hear so my guess is whatever vehicle will be used to bring Leonard back will probably be utilized in at least one of the other movies (as long as it works.)

That is interesting. I have my suspicion that the focus is going to be the resurrection of Kirk in this story arc. Indeed, I am one of the growing many, who think Bill and Abrams are playing us like a violin. Cheeky, cheeky!!!  There is no way that you could just have Nimoy and not Bill in this. The one advantage that Nimoy has, which respectfully Bill does not in regards to Kirk, is that he can play the aged future Spock without the need for story exposition, as the future Spock has already been established in TNG.
I am rather excited about this film (if, as Paul said, it works). But, the key elements have to be all in place. Indeed, what if the fiddling of the timeline means that there was NO Kirk on the Enterprise! The inarticulate article at Ain't It Cool did hint at Romulan messing around. Certainly, it would mean the avoidance of having to fill Bill's huge shoes. BUT... Trek is not Trek without Kirk.
Anyway, I am really curious to see how this plays. If it all turns out to be an aberration, then we can always ignore it, and settle down to watch our TOS DVDs with fondness. However, I have a suspicion that this film may be the Trek project we have been craving for the past 15 years or so. Certainly, the screenplay seems good enough for Nimoy to step out of retirement for. |

HOPEFULLY without rewriting too much of it...
Klingons didn't have forehead ridges until AFTER TOS aired.
The ships were most definitely not streamlined and sleek like the NX-01 incorrectly misrepresented. |

Well the 3 movie deal is something I heard (and not from Bill so don't start speculating) and these days most deals are for mulitple movies.
And as far as I know Bill is still not in any of the movies. |
