Star Trek: The Star Trek Part 2

How is the reveal of Cumberbund's real identity handled? I think I'm gonna wait for DVD on this piece.

There's a scene where his goddamn lips curl up like the fucking Grinch. I swear to god. Tell me I'm not the only one that saw this?!

[Martin]

You guys are making me hesitate to go see it.

[gravedigger]

I hope someone posts a clip on YouTube or something because the whole secrecy behind the thing was so dumb to begin with. I mean, in the movie is Khan whispered about like the Voldemort of the Trek universe?

Also, mega lulz to Yahoo's main page yesterday.

[Martin]

Shit secrecy: Trek 2.

Great secrecy: Iron Man 3.

It's a total Hannibal Lector moment, with him behind glass talking to Clarice/Kirk.

'My name is NOT John Harrison...that name is a fiction thrust upon me by Admiral Marcus for blah blah blah. My name...is KHAN.'

Was getting caught part of his plan?

He did this multiple times, iirc. In truth, he reminded me of Bruce Payne in his delivery. Watch below to see what I mean:

Channeling BPAYNE?

Nice.

Somebody needs to hug this shit because it needs some love.

[Matt]

No, getting caught was not part of his plan. That was unexpected.

I thought it was.

  Spoiler: SPOILZ 

I thought once he heard the 72 he knew exactly that it was his crew in the torpedoes (which still makes no sense, they're still rigged to blow too? Where was their fuel? oh fuck you star trek) and he knew that Weller set them up and would come after them with the megaship he knew existed and he could manipulate them into getting him onto that ship

[Matt]

No. If you recall:

  Spoiler: Spoiler 

Weller sent them to the edge of the forbidden zone where they were supposed to fire the missiles. Kirk, on his own initiative, went down to Kronos to try and capture Harrison. If he hadn't done that, then the missiles would have been fired and so forth. Harrison surrendered when he realized what the original orders were. That wasn't planned at all, that was circumstance.

[BillyG]

Ugh that's right. I think that actually makes it dumber, because his plan was SHIT for a super genius.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Consider me stunned if Kurtzman, Orci and Lindelof aren't shown the door for Star Trek 3.

Someone has to take the blame. Since Abrams is gone, that falls on them since they were his minions.
