It seems quite clearly to me the alternate timeline element is a skimpy conceipt to allow slight differences without being lambasted for it, and nothing more. I frankly don't know what mousepod is on about.

I appreciate that iSm doesn't understand an argument that's not the one he expected and is prepared to defend.
And I'm sad that Leonard Nimoy is retarded.
Here it is, in simple terms, for both of you:
I have no problem with fvcking with the canon of Star Trek. I'm not a Trekkie, or a Trekker or whatever. I actually am fond of messing with stories. If I'm not mistaken, both iSm and GD, to name but two LoTers are sticklers for canon in other similar entertainment franchises. Not me.
My problem isn't that they changed the story, my problem is that the "sell" of the movie is "this is how the characters you loved all these years met." But once they blow up Vulcan, it's clear that this movie is about how different versions of these characters met. Sorry if you can't wrap your head around it, iSm, but that's not what they're hinting at, that's what they're telling. Because in this movie, Leonard Nimoy's Spock is the one that had all of those experiences that we saw in the TV show and movies. The new Spock won't be the one to have those experiences. He's a different guy.
And Leonard Nimoy's dentures suck.
