However, some things that happened in the prime universe did happen in the reboot universe, like Kirk cheating on his exams, Captain Pike being the first Captain of the original Enterprise, etc. However, in this universe we see Vulcan get destroyed by Nero and we ALMOST saw a Trek universe where Spock and Kirk hated each other.

However, this doesn’t mean that everything in the main timeline changed just because they did in this alternate timeline. I imagine that Vulcan still existed in the main timeline, things like the encounters of Q and the Borg, as well as the Dominion War and Voyager’s journey home STILL occured, as well as the destruction of Romulus that was more or less the prime cause of the reboot universe even developing (Since Spock Prime and Nero originated more or less from the event.).

Personally, I loved the 2009 movie. I though it was a great recovery for Star Trek after the Enterprise flopped and the last two TNG movies were so, *so…* crappy (Nemesis had cool parts, but Paramount was clearly aiming for summer flick in that one.).

Knowing the ending of Nemesis and Nero and the Narada crew being post-Nemesis Romulans if Nero had been affected by this change personally. Remember that the Romulan Star Empire as we knew it ended in the PROLOGUE of Nemesis.

I wonder now that Star Trek is more or less back on track if we’ll see another movie in the rebooted universe? Possibly even a TV series?

One thing I noticed though, was when Star Trek movies/TV was being crap, the books suddenly found a real boost in quality. Read I, Q, that was a fun book, being almost a parody of Star Trek in its whole.

i liked how they tried to revive it and can see how they push it away from original startrek but it still wasn’t the same. and it missed alot of the subtle digs and 1 liners
