Into Darkness

[Kelthaz]

If they were going to take this approach, then unless they wanted to seriously rewrite the character of Khan, I would have preferred to see him ultimately give Our Heroes the slip along with his crew, perhaps to show up again another day.

Khan may have been willing to work with Kirk, but he never considered him or any other non-augments to be equals.

Yeah, I agree with this. I didn't mean that Kirk and Khan should become best friends, but reluctant allies who have a grudging respect for each other. If you're going to do a semi-reboot you have to shake things up a bit. Why even bother doing a reboot if you're just going to play it safe and aim for the same status quo as the original continuity?
