Then, we find out that Jonathan Archer had actually escaped from Rura Penthe, too, because... well, I guess because he's Jonathan Archer.
Now we find out that Nero ALSO escaped from Rura Penthe?
Jeebus, that place should just have a revolving teleporter near the entrance!
Also: The die-hard fans? We're your audience, Abrams. You'd better damn well cater to us.

The "Nipple on the suit" argument harkens back to the dark days of the downfall of the Batman franchise when interviews would focus an unholy time on the origins of the nipples on the batsuit.
Nothing on the story, just endless debate on an effing stupid nipple. I think we should stop here with the Kobahashi Maru this, and the Kingons that.
Let’s not forget Star Trek was a TV series NOT a movie originally.
TPTB, if you’re reading, do like Richard Donner, Peter Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Zemeckis, the Wachowski brothers and film one long movie then break it into equal parts.
Spread the wealth with storyline arcs evenly compartmentalized between the ensemble cast, give everybody a moment to shine because at the rate this is going (to film the sequel and maybe another one) the actors will be too old, too expensive and we’ll have seen about a week of storyline in a decade.

It probably helped from alienating (no pun) casual audience goers.
But the sequel demands and expansion of those ideas of the original. You can't go klingons and then romulans...
Klingons are the follow up. The audience needs a monster now.

They're just angry looking humanoids with fu-man-chu style mustaches.

I agree with tetracycloide: Just give them ridges and be done with it.

I was surprised when he didn't get a song in Glee, though his performances in Eli Stone weren't exactly top notch.

Also they killed that joke at the beginning - it's supposed to go like this:
Jesus: "It says rejoice!"
Disciple: "It says Reebok."
Keds make no sense.

Use of the unfinished WTC near the end reads so differently now. And for the kids out there, no, it's not a Fringe-like alternate universe. Though in a way, I suppose it is.

Uh what? Keds is a brand of sneakers, I don't see how it makes any more or less sense than Reebok. Also, "Keds" was the original line from the stage production, so yeah.

I love that guy so much. Heee.
So, was he the dude who hit his head on the light in the Star Trek blooper reel?

Klingons (old-skool TOS badass, not the later kind) yes.
Something entirely new, yes.
Doomsday Machine, yes.
BORG NO.

Make Decker less crazy, make the whole crew actually split between people who want to follow decker in battling the weapon and people who want to follow Kirk and Spock.
Have not only Kirk and Scotty beaming to the nearly destroyed Constellation, BUT have them or maybe Spock and some of the crew beam to the weapon it's self and try to explore a way of disabling the thing without trying to destroy it in a hopeless one on one battle like Decker wants to do. At this point they find out about the alien race who developed it, but no information as to why its in our universe or what killed them.
End with a ending close to the one we got with maybe Decker himself destroying the ship with his, instead of Kirk making Decker a lot more sympathetic a character especially since he was the reason his crew was killed than the bag o crazy the original was.
