In the distant future, the past is being rewritten. If that statement gives you a headache, you have J.J. Abrams to blame. Romulus is/will be destroyed by a supernova hyperinflated through subpace. A Romulan miner equipped with recovered Borg technology falls into a black hole and begins dismantling the Federation planet by planet. This discontinuity created a new quantum offshoot in the 6th dimension, resulting in a new timeline. Lost yet? One continuity shift was a more badass Kirk, having been stripped of his father at birth, he was rudderless and unchallenged. Only reluctantly joining Starfleet later than his classmates, he quickly outperformed his peers and took his place as captain of the Enterprise. Speaking of the old girl, shes more swoopy than before, and more than twice her original size. Finally, the uniforms are way cooler than before.
