I can accept an alternate timeline, I guess. Something has to be done. I was actually grabbed by the last movie at first, but then they had to go all strange and destroy Vulcan and so forth. I have no idea what they were thinking unless they do plan on the current timeline wending its way through a wormhole or two in order to make it back to the real TOS-initiated universe. Otherwise, it was just a moronic. You don't have to destroy a whole planet to get a mournful scene or two. What is this? Star Wars? Just have someone's pet Tribble get stepped on by a bad guy. Twice the emotional impact, and you don't outrage (too many) fans.
And I think a "counter-Spock" in an evil Federation universe as in "Mirror, Mirror" would be good, although Republicans might object to it. There would be a lot of possibilities in that. And we already know that universe is legitimate.
Now don't even get me started about leaving Tom Bombadil out of LOTR.
