He's a Miner that stood by helplessly as Romulus was eaten by a black hole. Blinded by rage as his race is killed..what else could one man do in that state of mind but do what he did. He isn't bright, but he was a threat in and of himself for sure.

Also Red Matter.. Dark Matter just didn't cut it, didn't it Abrams?

All the characterizations are spot on, as was the action and humor. I love the whole "Mr Sulu..why aren't we moving. Did you leave the parking brake on?" quip from Pike. Not to mention the Scotty intro and "Beans." "What are you on about, YOU ONLY NEED A BEAN AND YOU'RE SET FOR A MONTH! I NEED 3 MEALS A DAY! BEANS JUST DON'T CUT IT!" Then there are the random inoculations.. not going to spoil it because man is it funny.

Also, REDSHIRT SURE IS REDSHIRT IN THIS MOVIE!!! And I mean that in a literal TOS sense. Houston..we have bona fide redshirts.

I so totally agree! Very well said!!! It was a great movie!
