Star Trek Into Darkness: Writer sorry for underwear scene
Damon Lindelof says Alice Eve's scene was ‘gratuitous’.
‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ writer Damon Lindelof has apologised to fans for Alice Eve’s “gratuitous” underwear scene in JJ Abram’s new 'Trek' sequel.

Eve, who plays the Enterprise's excellent science officer Dr. Carol Marcus, is one of only two major female figures in the ‘Trek’ movie. So, the decision to have the brainy scientist appear “barely clothed" prompted many female fans to accuse filmmakers of sexually objectifying the character.
Lindelof, who also co-wrote 'Prometheus' and TV series 'Lost', issued the apology via his Twitter account, taking full responsibility for the scene:
I copped to the fact that we should have done a better job of not being gratuitous in our representation of a barely clothed actress.

We also had Kirk shirtless in underpants in both movies.Do not want to make light of something that some construe as mysogenistic.

What I'm saying is I hear you, I take responsibility and will be more mindful in the future.

Also, I need to learn how to spell "misogynistic."
