I'm not a trekkie, so I don't know every episode of the ST series.

And why the fuck Nero's ship manage to cross the black hole one day, and not the other ?
I wondered that too.

Couldn't quite follow what you're getting at here. Sorry.

I thought this was pretty clever.
He could very well have done this for budgetary reasons, but I tend to think that it's more likely a creative choice that was made. Having the Enterprise delayed was necessary so that they could use that extra bit of time to realize the whole fleet was walking into a trap. If they hadn't been delayed, they would have arrived and been destroyed with everyone else. And not showing the actual battle where all those ships were destroyed was an effective way to keep our point of view as an audience with our main characters on the Enterprise. As a result, we feel more involved as we realize what's happening when they do, and we discover the aftermath with them. Otherwise, the audience would feel more like detached, uninvested observers.

Chekov said they should come out of warp behind one of Saturn's moons when he was telling them his plan for catching up to Nero without being seen. I believe the specific moon he mentioned was Titan.
