{Well, it it could be some sort of jamming device on the Narada. Not actually discussed, but the way Nero talked about it to Pike would suggest he was jamming transporters and communications from his ship.}

8. Mining ships of the future have enough weaponry to destroy a Starfleet armada. What exactly are they mining?
{Why would this need to be explained. The prequel comic doesn't even matter. Comic books are not cannon. The ship is from 100+ years AFTER the events of this movie. Something like 129 years, I think Spock Prime tells Jim. It stands to reason that that far in the future, even mining tools would be advanced enough that could be used as weapons 130 years+ prior.}

7. Uhura casually tells her roommate that she translated a mysterious message detailing the destruction of a Klingon fleet by a large, Romulan ship, but fails to inform her captain until he's about to fly into a trap.
{Good try but, the message had nothing to do with a Romulan attack on Vulcan. In fact, it wasn't until Kirk put two and two together that they connected the dots and realized Vulcan was under attack.}

6. If he's getting so much action, why can't one of Spock's emotions be, you know, kinda happy? Why so dour, my Vulcan friend?
{Vulcans tend to keep all their emotions in check. It's not being dour, it's being in controll. When his homeworld was taken out...well that's a bigger deal than getting a bit of tail, isn't it?}

4. It's OK, though, because if you do that, the person in the life pod will manage to land right next to THE ONLY OTHER PERSON ON THE PLANET who has also been stranded there.
{Coincidence? Spock Prime didn't know Kirk was going to be there. Spock was only there cos he'd die there, and it would be a great seat to watch Vulcan go BOOM}

2. If you accidentally get sent back 25 more than 150 years in time, it's better to take revenge on the person who was unable to save your planet than to actually, you know, TRY TO SAVE YOUR PLANET!
{He lost not only his wife and son, but also his entire homeworld. Because an OFF-WORLDER failed to save it. The grief drove him mad, plus he's Romulan, who are Vulcans minus the emotional training. Romulans let their emotions controll them, to hell with the consequences.}

1. The random Star Wars and Cloverfield-like monsters appearing for no particular reason.
{What Star Wars monsters? Besides, until this movie, we've never really seen a lot of aliens. Mostly a lot of PRE-ESTABLISHED aliens. The United Federation of Planets is very big, it stands to reason that there'd be a shit ton of aliens that don't look like "Star Trek aliens". Hell, one would think y'all would be GLAD to see a wider variety of creatures!}
