Why did Carol need to change?

[SeerSGB]

Finding a half-naked woman (or man) sexy makes one a perv?

Star Trek fans are so mature they have grown beyond the desire to see their favourite actors in states of undress. Cover up all those beautiful Starfleet people! In fact, just hire really old, ugly character actors, and dress them in thick overcoats, balaclavas and gumboots.

Still to much skin...perv levels rising.


To borrow a phrase: Did these people not watch TOS? Plenty of sexy in that one.

Angelique Pettyjohn doesn't understand this whole "Excess skin showing" complaint for TOS. In fact, her role in Star Trek was about her most conservatively dressed role

 

[SeerSGB]

As we all know, TOS never showed skin or sexualized women in anyway.

 

[The Wormhole]

Obviously, when TOS did it it was done for artistic purposes which enhanced the intellectual properties of the series. Abrams just does it to get a boner.

Well just the men. As we all know the only Star Trek fans are men who live in their mother's basement.

The women should go around in green undies or have uniforms without rank bands on them (or is there some other way of guessing a woman's rank?).

Men, just do as you're told and assume you're outranked.

Pettybone?

Uhhhh... bit of a Freudian slip there.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I like where this is going..

OH LOOK MAN UNDERWEARS!

 

[Commishsleer]

In two movies just one guy in his underwear and it wasn't even Karl Urban!

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Hopefully movie 3 will have an extended spa scene. Men, they need to relax.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Decon chamber.... now with lens flares!

We need more of this:



Sexy time

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

JJ owes us this. It's lovely that Lindelof apologized for showing us Carol in her underwear but we expect REPARATIONS in movie III. The men, give us the men!!

 

[Commishsleer]

The way its been going in Movie 3 Carol and Uhura will be sharing a cabin and will be wandering about in their underwear doing their nails, then we'll switch to Spock and Kirk in their cabins having a work related discussion fully-clothed.

At least in TOS, Kirk always took his top off. Even though I didn't fancy Shatner and would rather him wear his shirt its just the principle of the thing.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

If JJ knows what's good for the old guard he'll rip Pine's shirt during a battle and let us see the pecs. Or the stomach, I personally and vastly prefer the stomach.

The same thing needs to happen to Karl Urban, and then he falls over on top of Jim as they slide down a hill covered in coconut oil. I think this would make a great action sequence.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

And coconut oil is soooo shiny, it's perfect for lens flare.

 

[Commishsleer]

But there's those stupid black shirts they wear underneath their uniform shirts.

Still maybe they're only fake like Carol's jumpsuit.

Both movies have Kirk barechested and (presumably) in underwear:
