What I'd like to know is where the Narada's debris ended up......

I'd like to see some nod/wink to the Kelvin timeline Spock/Uhura relationship in SNW.

It does kind of irk me that they made Chekov 17.
He's 4 years older than Prime Chekov, and they had to futz with things to get him on the ship, but, like, he could be 22, fresh from the Academy, and it'd still work.

I really hope we get to see George Sr. in SNW.

"...a star will explode and threaten to destroy the galaxy."
The Romulan Star Empire collapsing would and likely did create a ***massive*** power vacuum, especially when they were already kneecapped post-Shinzon.

Given the map we saw in SNW, I put Delta Vega as an unnotable minor planet in the asteroid belt.
#ST09
He is still the villain of the movie, but his motives - post-PIC - are *far* more understandable and relatable.

"I was off-planet, doing my job, while your Federation did nothing and allowed my people to burn while my planet broke in half."
Nero.
Was.
Not.
Wrong.
Nero's need for revenge and vengeance is completely understandable post-PIC - the UFP *did* do nothing and let Romulus be destroyed.

My headcanon is the "no more than 10,000 have survived" to mean 10,000 of 7 billion evacuated. Not counting Starfleet officers, Vulcans civilians off-world, etc.
But, yeah, I can't imagine more than a few million - max - are left.

Diverting auxiliary power from "port nacelles" to forward shields?

The way I see it, technological progression kind of halted in the 2230s - which is why most of Starfleet looks Kelvin-y - while Starfleet reverse-engineered the tech scanned from the Narada, and revamped the Connie to match...which is also why it's so big. It's 2387 tech using 2233 tech.

As great as the overall casting was for #ST09, Karl Urban as McCoy was absolute perfection.
"Live long and prosper."

#ST09 did a better job with Spock than a lot of SNW episodes.
I love that the "learning pits" were continued in DSC.
#ST09
Also, they should revert "Johnny" to "Sam".

"Enterprising Young Men" is a full-on banger.
#ST09
I'd love an "extended edition" with a lot of the deleted scenes restored, Rura Penthe in particular.
#ST09
And the shot of the Kelvin breaking up as it flies....
💔

I feel like, since GSK was, like, 3, he was probably back on Earth with the grandparents.

The sequence of the shuttle evacuation and the final flight of the Kelvin is a cinematic masterpiece.
#ST09
I see General Order 13 as being "when in a crisis situation where survival is not guaranteed, the ship must be abandoned and destroyed" or something like that.
#ST09
And I love that you can see the lineage from the Kelvin in DSC and SNW.
#ST09
My headcanon is the blue turrets aren't torpedoes, but are "point defense" phasers.

Happy 17th birthday to #ST09.
❤️
My take is that all the convenient coincidences are the universe “course-correcting”.

And there’s the Wil Wheaton Romulan!
