...and a thought occured to me. Nero blamed Spock for the destruction of Romulus because their star went supernova before Spock could use the red matter to dampen the supernova. But even if Spock had gotten there in time, and created the black hole inside the supernova, Romulus would still be without a star, and would have turned into a lifeless ball of ice assuming it didn't get sucked into the black hole with the supernova. So really, there was no way to save Romulus, so why the hell were there still people on that planet? It's not like supernovas sneak up on people. They'd have had years to evacuate the planet.

It wasn't Romulus' sun that was about to go nova, but some other star nearby. Romulus was just in the supernova's path of destruction.

Ah, okay...had the dryer running, and Nimoy doesn't talk very loud. Still, YEARS to evacuate the planet. I mean, crap, with our current day technology, we have a general idea when our sun's going to go down. You'd think they'd have been keeping tabs on nearby star systems for signs of supernova. |

CHRIS PINE He does understand that he went back in time right? And can therefore just stop his home planet from being destroyed altogether? (pause) So wait, why does red matter destroy planets but send ships back in time? LEONARD NIMOY BLACK HOLES LET US DO ANYTHING! |

By judging the Romulans based upon Nero, they were just a stubborn people.

About that.... "FIRE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I do love that line. That line when I first heard it reminded me of the "evil" agent from The Iron Giant who steals the general's walkie-talkie to get the missiles launched at the Giant while he's in the town. |

I still think Nero looks like Batista.
That is all.
