Lindelof On Eve Scene (minor spoilers, hysteria, hyperbole)

And if you agree it's gratuitious, then the larger point about the disease can be made. This is supposed to be the future, a hopeful future, and instead of a world that is equal, we don't see a single person who is a main cast member that is treated as more than arm candy for someone else, this scene being the culmination of that frustration in the movie.

What! The only thing the main characters in this movie are is arm candy?

That sounds to me like you're just hating on the movie and looking for noble reasons to do so.

I don't have any ulterior motives. I am stating my opinion, both good and bad. Uhura's big scene is a set-up for Spock to tell us what he's thinking. Her big conversation with Kirk is that she's fighting with Spock. Her approach to the Klingons includes a shot of her butt. This is not the future I want to see. Ask for examples next time if you want the answer.
 
For me, the problem lies in the fact that 1) they only showed a second or two of AE naked and Kirk gazing blankly at her, and 2) Cumberbatch actually complained about the fact that they made him build up to the naked chest scene and then cut it.

I call that discrimination and blatant pandering to the male demographics. Although, I'm sure there are many men who wouldn't mind staring blankly at Cumberbatch's naked chest. :lol:

It better be in the deleted scenes, dammit.

Ask and ye shall receive!

:p:techman:

:lol:

Also, I really wish this was in the deleted scenes.

You're actually saying the only roles these characters have is arm candy. That's ridiculous.
 
I've watched this show several times over. It's an undeniable fact that we see 10 women naked for every man. It's not even arguable, women are devalued in that show.

If you are looking for a show with plenty of male nudity, try Spartacus. That show has four times the sex scenes as Game of Thrones, and much more equality in terms of both male and female nudity.

GOT has always been more slanted toward female nudity, but I blame that on the producers who are obviously hoping to attract bigger male audiences. It seems to be working by the way.
 
:guffaw:

Awesome scene, awesome music. Both versions.

Awesome interview all around.

Cumberbatch looked like an angry koala in the rain.

The conversation started out with me stating that I have no problem with nudity in general. It just got off track :) I don't care one way or the other, unless it's just a stupid movie in general (wrote off horror movies long ago). However, according to this article from the NY Post, 45% of its audience are women, so I think it's pretty evenly divided for a show of it's genre.
