Possible SPOILERS ahead at your own risk--























Everything I've read about the movie is that somehow Romulans go back in time to mess up Kirk and crew on the Enterprise. Our Spock (Nimoy) follows them back in time to warn his past self, and save the timeline. It's been almost 10 years for Nemeisis, so it fits in fine with cannon.

If I were J.J. I'd ignore Nemesis, Shinzon, senate...those "issues" can be ignored due to the passage of time.

Are they even going to acknowledges the existence of Shinzon? or even the elimination of the Romulan senate? Is this movie in the same timeline as TNG and follows the end of Nemesis?

Er, what? This is set before TNG.
