Hardcore Star Trek fans certainly have their issues with the recent J.J. Abrams film reboot of the franchise. Whereas the original series and its sequels were slow, thoughtful, and heady, the reboot was fast-paced, funny, and action-packed -- pretty much everything those series weren't.

Until now there's been no official designation for this splinter timeline, though the Abrams-verse is a name often bandied about. Well that has changed with an official name now being established for it - The Kelvin Timeline.
