There's actually some comic I somehow got a hold of before the movie came out that explains all this in depth but lord knows where I got it or what happened in it.

I remember Geordi designed that space ship. And I think Spock was going rogue to help Romulus and the other Vulcans refused to help him or something.

I don't know, it all made perfect sense when I saw the movie.

No, I'm pretty sure the screenwriters at least outlined the plot of the comics and got story credits. All they are is basically an extended cut of the whole mind-meld backstory so it was material they came up with anyway.

In my experience the comics made Nero's motivations make more sense, not less, I feel like I was misunderstood.

Edit: Here's the plot summary: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Countdown#section_2

I like it. Shows an attention to detail and internally consistent universe.

Haha wtf how short is your memory? You think that's a plothole? I still remember what the kid that slapped my best friend in the face in the high school cafeteria said to him a decade ago, I'd definitely remember exactly what caused a bloody, bar-clearing brawl. Especially when they then went to Starfleet Academy together and saw each other on a regular basis. Get real.

edit: no it's not
vvv
