Presumably Spock will now warn the Federation about such oncoming threats as V'Ger (plenty of time to clone some whales rather than going back in time and thus delaying the invention of transparent aluminum), the Borg (so no reason to go back in time and jump start the invention of Cochrane's warp engines, drawing the attention of Vulcan, and triggering the founding of the Federation), and all the other various galaxy threatening events that will be happening in the next 150 years.

(And I just remembered the real reason why putting a black hold in the middle of a supernova won't help. Generally -- and definitely in one big enough to "threaten the galaxy" though no such supernova could really exist -- there is already a black hole at the middle of a supernova, the creation of which being what causes the explosion.)

Dammit, I can't stop! It was fun! But it was stupid! But it was fun! And since I probably won't see it again for years, if ever, eventually I'll just remember the stupid! and not the fun!
