You speak for me, you do indeed. <3 I actually conveniently forget about Amanda Greyson and Vulcan when I'm thinking of the reboot, most of the time: otherwise I'd just be standing there going, "But, but, but you can't DO THAT" the whole time.
I mean...would you blow up Cardassia Prime, Bajor, Andor, Betazed, the Bolian homeworld, Trill, Romulus, Q'onos? Certainly various devastations have happened to those planets (notably during the Dominion War), but make it go bye-bye forever? No, no you would not. If you were writing Star Trek and giving a shit about the bones of the universe. And Vulcan! Vulcan is the Federation, to me, aside from Earth. Yes, lots of more people joined later and all, but what is the iconic image of Star Trek to the masses? Spock and his Vulcan salute, that's what. YOU CAN'T BLOW UP VULCAN
(Though my beloved and otherwise smart girlfriend disagrees. I dunno, man. I realize it's a reboot, but...Vulcan?!)
