Just waiting for somebody to put up the picture of Mr. Sulu with a sword.
‘Tis but a scratch.
You’re right. Besides, Denzel used an oversized and weird-looking machete.

“Throw ya hands in the air, and catch ‘em like ya just don’t care…”
“On the other hand...?” I’ll say! :)

Cut his hand off or kill him. Preferably both.
This story makes me sick to my stomach. WTH is wrong with people.
I think Mr. Sulu had a foil.
The victim... Eric “LEFTY” Hammond
Oooh! That’s gonna leave a mark!.............
I wouldn’t call her a foil. But there was some interesting tete et tete between Uhura and Zula.
