" It is suggested, though never explicitly stated, that the Remans are
also descended from Vulcans like the Romulans. The three species share
many similar features such as pointed ears, humanoid appearance, and
limited telepathic abilities. It is also possible, however, that the
Remans were indigenous to Remus. This possibility is supported by the
fact that the Reman written language is at least partially
pictographic and the Romulan written language does not appear to be."
http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Reman
According to the novel trilogy Vulcan's Soul, the Remans were
descended from the telepathic Vulcans who refused to give up their
abilities during the exodus to Romulus, and were enslaved by the
majority non-telepaths who became the Romulans.

been counterproductive in Star Wars to have the planet explode so slowly
it would take five minutes before you could see anything.

Why would it necessarily be slow when it's a matter of scale.

A planet wouldn't explode like Krypton, no matter how much energy you
pumped into it. It would fall apart, and it would likely take a while
to do so. The pieces would all come together again and reform a sphere
within a few decades, and the New Alderaanians would be pretty pissed

Star Trek IX?
Star Trek: Insurrection?
In which Picard discovers corruption in the Federation, falls in love
and has a final one-on-one battle with the main villain?
