> The latest Star Trek movie isn't a prequel to anything, since none of the pre-existing canon follows it in causal sequence, its a sequel (though an alternate-universe-earlier-setting-date sequel, for some of the earlier canon) to the earlier canon.

what? ;)

I think there is only one universe. But since it is infinite , there is an infinite copy of ourselves in different times ( since in different places far away from each other). So it is a prequel from the 2009 point of view, but a sequel from the old Star Trek P.O.V.
