Great post, I completely agree. Although I’m sick of seeing Asians being portrayed as antagonists. When will they ever be portrayed in a positive light?

Might I just say that I’m very pleasantly appalled that the creep tagged a ‘please’ onto his harassment? Growing up in a country where middle-aged men try to jack off against you while you’re in middle-school uniform, this is very very…. well, let’s settle for ‘surprising’.

[…] As the Quixotic Autistic notes, one of the biggest barriers to Into Darkness being a true Star Trek film is its fondness for briefly mentioning ethical quagmires (i.e., extrajudicial assassination, military drones, militarization of Starfleet), but never actually taking the time to discuss them the way previous Star Trek films dealt with issues, like interspecies racism (ST VI: the Undiscovered Country), the ethical responsibilities of scientists (ST II: the Wrath of Khan), and the idea of progress (ST IX: Insurrection).

He’d be great! I love what he did with the first two “X-Men” movies; very true to the spirit of the comics, even if some characters (coughRoguecough) were extensively altered.

Well written post. I like the idea that there is no *normal* inside that needs saving and that therapies and behavior modifications only serve to damage the psyche. That’s a message that I think needs to be spread far and wide. Thanks for posting!
