I liked the new Trek movie myself and can think of a few things I would have done different.

But to complain about this very brief shot of Alive Eve in what could have been a bikini is typical PC nonesense.

I asked myself if I was OK with this scene and I must say "yes, yes I am".

Gratuitous? When your audience is adolescent boys? More like obligatory.

There is every reason for Alice Eve to be in lingerie.

We all remember the skin tight miniskirts from the original series and green dancing girl in the pilot episode fondly, too.

Link to picture and screenwriter’s comments. I guess any publicity is good publicity. Just buzz for the movie.

I don’t even know who she is but Alice is very attractive.

I wasn’t offended. It wouldn’t have been necessary if she had not been gorgeous.

In Star Trek: Enterprise, they took several opportunities to strip down Sub-Commander T’Pol (Jolene Blalock), including having her wear skimpy outfits, sharing showers, greasing herself up with something, etc.

If they must have a scene with a woman in lingerie, Alice Eve is an excellent choice.

Alice Eve should be in lingerie in every movie she appears in, up to and including a remake of The Sound of Music"

I was more offended by the not so veiled attempt to parallel the situation with Iraq, and the slap in the face dedication to those who died “since” 911 at the end.

there is no gratuitous skin in star trek movies. it all is integral to the story.

it is star trek. good looking girls that like men, required. it’s why we never see them begging to go to the lumberjack planet of unshaved husky amazon lesbian truck drivers.

There was no practical reason for Alice Eve to appear in her lingerie in "Star Trek Into Darkness," and he's sorry for that.

No practical reason?! The hero always peeks.

One of the more interesting things about the original Star Trek is that Scotty who is from Canada but is of Scottish descent, was shot seven times during the Normandy Invasion. He had a finger shot off and was apparently self conscious about it.

I have watched shows after finding that out and Scotty really does hide that missing finger.

brief shot of Alive Eve in what could have been a bikini is typical PC

PC? PC demands full nudity and a lesbian sex scene for helping to groom the kids.
