HUGE Mr Sulu Spoiler

But both were comedies, and the men were straight. Showing male pregnancy taken seriously would freak out the general public, and having the father be gay would invite ridicule.
I don't have a problem at all with it, I'm just discussing how I think it would be received.

Yes those elements would freak a few people out.

SPOILER QUESTION




I'm probably waiting a couple of weeks to see the movie with my niece so hopefully somebody can answer this for me.
A friend saw the movie last night and said that Sulu is seen leaving a woman's room and kisses her.
Is Sulu bi and cheating on his husband? Or in an open marriage? Or did my friend misinterpret something?
That seems like a strange thing to throw in there, and if it's true I'm surprised there hasn't been a flurry of discussion over this.

That does happen but it was a different person entirely and not Sulu. It's a very quick scene so I can see how your friend thought it was him.
 
Thanks for info! I couldn't believe that actually happened. I'd have been pretty upset if Sulu were just casually cheating on his husband.
 
I do like that male pregnancy could be an option in the 23rd century, although I don't think a modern audience could deal with it at this point.

As a biologist (doctor of agricultural genetics, actually), I think the artifical womb device for "in vitro" pregnancy would be a much simpler solution. It's actually within even our current, early-XXI century capabilites.

Another Asian crewman (in a blue uniform) kisses a woman, shortly after the two are seen making eyes at each other in the corridor.

I don't recall this happening with anyone who resembled Sulu.

Oh. My. God. There are two Sulu's! One is biologist Sulu (from "Where No Man..."), the other helmsman Sulu! One is gay, one is straight! :eek:

More temporal shenanigans!

Yep. Wasn't Sulu.
 
Those gold shirts, they all look the same.
The other Asian crewman was in blue. Possibly John Cho's stand-in getting an opportunity to have a close-up.

In the same sequence, a young bare-chested guy, who looks a bit like Anton Yelchin (but side-on), is seen being ejected from an Orion woman's cabin. But the very next scene has Chekov on the bridge, so we weren't sure that the young guy with no shirt on was meant to be Chekov or a random crewman.

That was Chekov. At least it looked that way to me.

Now I have to go see it again and find out. On first viewing, I didn't even notice the guy. I was too busy wondering if his red-headed Orion partner was meant to be Gaila
 
In my own defence, I didn't ever think it was the same actress.

Oh well, Gaila's chances of having survived '09 slip down another notch.
