Let's talk about this thin wedge (hopefully without spoilers). I understand that this is a relaunch of the series but I think they did it wrong. It probably would've been blasphemy to throw it all out the door, and 'historically' the same things can happen but they really should be ignoring everything from TOS.

Will we see VGER? The monolith from 'Voyage Home' (ST4) must make an appearance, right? I mean we have to assume that whales are still extinct in the alternate timeline. Will Praxis explode resulting in 'Undiscovered Country' (ST6)?

I think you missed the point of the reboot, Vulcan was destroyed, the time-line forever altered, this crew isn't going to re-live the events of the original crew.

Is that really true? Avoiding spoilers apparently this most recent movie has proved otherwise.

Vulcan being destroyed doesn't stop VGER and it doesn't stop the monolith. It probably does change the Klingons so maybe 'Undiscovered Country' doesn't happen.
