3. On the above note, why would the ship appear to be a lighning storm a second time? It didn't exit the singularity again. And why didn't Spock's ship have the same effect when it emerged? Again, I felt that this was just to make the Narada more impressive.
I figured this out. The lightning storm in space they saw that Kirk recognized WAS Spock's ship coming through the black hole. While they were squabbling about command heirarchy, Spock was being picked up and marooned on the ice moon. He'd JUST come through, and that was the lightning storm anomaly they saw.
