I still think its lazy writing.
fucking Orci and Kurtzman.

In the original Star Trek 2, yeah. I cried like a bitch during that scene as a kid.
But if Abrams created this alternate timeline to free himself of the constraints of the original Trek canon, only to just turn around and start copying all the classic shit by the second movie...weak.
A lot of Trek fans hate Abrams for breaking the mold with the first film, but I was fine with it. Old Trek, while I love it dearly, was done to death...pretty much every possible avenue had been explored. It needed an entirely new direction in order to survive, and whether you liked it or not (I did), Abrams gave it to us. But by the second movie, he's already recycling? Boo.
If he's aping Wrath of Kahn and killing Spock, it won't have the same emotional punch as the original; fans had decades of love for Leonard Nimoy as Spock...it won't be the same watching a re-tread of him dying yet again, this time in the form of Zachary Quinto.
