I'm not so sure. I think Franklin was onto something here:
Sure, there were some "bull in a china shop" message stories, but that was far from the only thing we ever got. I think some of TOS' best stories were ones in which the moral was much more subtly incorporated; if there is going to be a message in this movie, I'd much prefer it be of the latter sort.
The one with Jamie Bamber in a towel on it?
You mean there's a T-SHIRT?????
Wow...gotta get right on that. Because as well all know, pretty much ANYTHING can be improved by the inclusion of Jamie Bamber in a towel.
Even a towel (with Jamie Bamber in a towel on it) with Jamie Bamber in it?The one with Jamie Bamber in a towel on it?

While I don't think this is the case for STXI, I've always liked a Trek story in which the crew is drawn into a seemingly innocent opportunity to provide assistance and then they quickly learn that they are squarely in the middle of a "damned if you do/damned if you don't" situation. Moral dilemas are my favorites, especially the kind in which the captain ultimately comes up with a unique solution that is more fair and balanced than was among the initial choices. That's why he/she is captain!

Any moral quandaries presented should be handled in the manner that Spock presented in regard to the "Prime Directive" in this episode. That is, bring up the PD Kirk then provides a very broad ill defined reason why they should be interfering and then Spock puts a stamp of "Flawlessly logical Captain" on it and then Kirk and Spock go about their job.
Wish I could find the exchange. After I heard it the first thing I thought was: Ah there's nothing logical about what Kirk just said - basically it was all some blather so he could feel good about interfering with the Fabrini culture. Not that I didn't think he wasn't justified mind you.

Once you get PKTrekGirl started on naked Jamie Bamber, we'll need lots of those towels to keep up with the drool.^ Done what? (Damn, I hate it when jokes are over my head.)
Ah, okay. Mission accomplished then.Once you get PKTrekGirl started on naked Jamie Bamber, we'll need lots of those towels to keep up with the drool.^ Done what? (Damn, I hate it when jokes are over my head.
Would "the effects of zero gravity on the pendulosity of large breasts" be a social or political issue?
I'm gonna go with political because it would seem to exclude the rights of those who aren't so blessed.
from wiki The term "Slash" itself predates the use of "shipping" by at least some 20 years. It was originally coined as a term to describe Kirk/Spock (or "K/S"; sometimes spoken "Kirk-slash-Spock", whence "Slash") homosexual fan fiction, which has been a mainstay of a segment of Star Trek fandom since the early 1970s. For a time in the late 1970s and early 1980s, both "K/S" and "Slash" were used to describe such fan fiction, regardless of whether or not they were related to Star Trek. But as homosexuality became more accepted in society, so too did the terms lose their derogatory connotation. "K/S" eventually fell out of use altogether, but "Slash" became a universal term to describe all homosexual themed fan works.
The OP's exact same question was asked over at the Trek Movie website forums (where I think was directly copied from), but the answers were a bit more serious there...
I think it would fall under the category of an issue pertaining to the survival of the Human race myself.

He has the same effect on me! So I vote for that option.Ah, okay. Mission accomplished then.Once you get PKTrekGirl started on naked Jamie Bamber, we'll need lots of those towels to keep up with the drool.^ Done what? (Damn, I hate it when jokes are over my head.

Well, at least until I pass out from hyperventilation, that is.
