Does anyone think that Abrams just copied the destruction of Krypton
(or Alderon in Star Wars for that matter?) for the end of Vulcan?

Here's a review in http://Gemm.com 's magazine

Given that Star Trek became popular in reruns, those of us who were
absorbing the first-run stories have a bit of bragging rights (or is
it a more tangible land rights?? ) to our franchise. Where Lost In
Space - with so much potential - was fumbled in 1998 by director
Stephen Hopkins Star Trek 2009 (or Star Trek XI) could do for the
series what Batman Begins accomplished: the prelude to a "Dark Knight"
sequel to the prequel. Yes, the film is glitzy fantastic, but the
true stars turn out to be Leonard Nimoy, IMax, the Starship Enterprise
and the special effects, in that order. And there you have the
ultimate dilemma: alternate universe or no J.J. Abrams leans heavily
on George Lucas, not Gene Rodenberry.
