That whole we can get away with all the changes because of the temporal paradox thing doesn't work given the starship relativity (from ST:V) and the temporal police (ST:E)
both of which would have attempted to fix the timestream and put everything back on course.

As a big fan of all things Star Trek, I invite you to take a step back from the cannon and consider that with JJ Abrams new movie, we will get to experience new breath and a lot more content into a franchise that was effectively dead, done, and over with.
If you love Star Trek, you know they regularly rewrite the world with sci-fi science like worm holes and time travel. Nothing they've done with this movie makes me believe they did anything but take great care to make a good, watchable movie and keep as consistent as possible with the already written universe.
Instead of worrying over how much things changed, I've accepted the new Star Trek's unspoken offer to believe the alternate reality they're providing. In doing so, I choose to accept and enjoy another hopefully prosperous decade of content in a universe I love. The movie was good, the characters were familiar, and the message was in line with Star Trek.
The message was hope and equality and fighting for success against the odds, valuing life, and that being smart is a good thing. These are all Star Trek qualities, and as a big fan, I want them to thrive. I'm very happy this movie was made. I don't care how much they strayed from the cannon because I know from watching interviews with Abrams and the like that he took a lot of care to give fans like me everything he COULD give, and still make the movie. I accept.
