Damon Lindelof Sorry for the Alice Eve Underwear Scene

Guys, Damon Lindelof wants to apologize for putting in a random scene of Alice Eve in her underwear in Star Trek Into the Darkness. He says it was gratuitous.

• 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.”

Well it was still appropriate for me! #boobs io9 via MTV:

Why is Alice Eve in her underwear, gratuitously and unnecessarily, without any real effort made as to why in God’s name she would undress in that circumstance? Well there’s a very good answer for that. But I’m not telling you what it is. Because… uh… MYSTERY?

Sigh. I really miss the 90’s. Everything was gratuitous back then and no one had to apologize for it. See: Species.
