    JJ Abrams’ 2009 reboot of Star Trek on the big screen was a massive blockbuster hit, and you know what that means… sequel! Star Trek Into Darkness was the follow-up movie that continued the adventures of the Starship Enterprise and brought along Benedict Cumberbatch for the ride-- who they tried very hard to pretend wasn’t playing Khan.
    Star Trek Into Darkness raises a lot of questions. Like why did both Marcus and Khan have such convoluted plans to get what they wanted? Why did Alice Eve’s character need to be shown in her underwear? Why did they decide to swap Spock’s sacrifice for a Kirk sacrifice? How does kicking a warp core a bunch of times fix it? Why would Khan think that torpodeos would be a safe place for his family? How are people beaming to other planets and beaming explosives to other ships? How is there any tension when SUPER-BLOOD exists?!
    To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Star Trek Into Darkness! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

    I remember being so irritated in the theatre when they killed Pike and gave Kirk the Enterprise after taking it away literally five minutes earlier, because I thought they were going to do an interesting thing with the characters.
    It would’ve been far more effective if, after spending the movie learning valuable lessons about the burden of command, Kirk has to helplessly watch as Pike sacrifices himself to save the ship.

      @Danny R I guess it was a part of the film's advertisement so it was not commercially minor (though needless in all cases), and Chris Hemsworth gets criticised for his shirtless scenes, in fact in an interview he had to justify appearing shirtless in "Bad Times at the El Royale" saying that it was a part of his character and not for selling tickets.

      That's fair enough, but we see good looking hunks running around doing shirtless scenes, including Tom Holland supposedly playing a 16 year old as Spider-Man, but there doesn't seem to be the same level of criticism. I'm not opposed to guys providing sex appeal for an audience, I would just prefer less outrage when a woman does it. These scenes are mostly not really necessary for the film's story and just a bit of fun, not deserving over offense.

      It happens. Usually though, you're firing barrages of weapons at a hostile ship, and then between one impact and the next the shields fail, with the still-incoming volleys destroying the ship. No beaming necessary, because if their shields aren't up anyway, you can just destroy them using conventional weapons without complicating things with transporters.

    "They can just beam bombs onto the other ships? why even shoot at people, just beam the bombs over." Whoopsie!
    Literally what happened on Stargate as soon as they got their hands on beaming technology lol.

      @@insignificantgnat9334 Yeah basically jamming technology which was a thing before this but for most races it wasn't an issue because having shields stopped it too most of the time, but jamming was necessary for the Wrath as they don't use shields at all lol.

      I’ve always thought that a good last-ditch desperate effort if a starship is in a battle, is losing badly, and their warp core is about to explode, beam the warp core over into - or near - the ship that’s attacking them. And then it blows up.

      Isn't it once you shoot at the ship enough the shields go down? Why not use the transport bomb thing as a finishing move?

    I mean, coming up with a technological breakthrough in one episode and then ignoring the implications of it from that point on is kind of a signature Star Trek thing.
