Well, Chainsaw, I could totally see how people would think this would erase the original timeline.  Other Trek time travel stories seemed to go on the history-changing theory rather than the alternate-timeline theory, like in the episode "Tomorrow is Yesterday" when they were afraid that sending Christopher back to earth with future technology would alter history, or "The City on the Edge of Forever" when the non-death of Edith Keeler caused the Nazis to take over.  So, yeah, based on that, it does seem logical that the new Trek timeline overwrote the previous one.

Axia, I just have one question about your complaints.  While I wasn't too fond of the score either, I was confused by this statement:    You need to start a Star trek film with the theme they have been starting Trek films with forever.

Which Trek theme are you talking about?  Nearly every movie had its own theme:  the Courage TV theme, the Goldsmith theme, the Horner theme, and so on.  The one musical thing I was impressed with in this movie was how the end credits liberally utilized the original TV theme, which was only used as an afterthought in every other Trek movie.
