I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THIS, actually. Furthermore, ADDING women who had not been in the original show would be awkward. I mean they didn't really have room to dick around with any of it -- which is why I also think it's weird when people praise the movie for its' ethnic diversity. Um? I MEAN YEAH IT'S GREAT, but... it's not like they were going to cast a white guy to play Sulu. And I mean, sure, when they rebooted BSG they made men women, but original BSG's fanbase wasn't nearly as... I don't know. IT WAS JUST DIFFERENT.
I think my issue with the film is more with Uhura -- because even though she IS awesome she doesn't get to be that awesome? She's the least funny one out of everyone, and mostly all she gets to do is make out with Spock. But whatever, it's JJ, I trust him with girls and I'm sure she'll be more than fabulous enough in the next film? Presuming there is one?
GIRL POWER. BUT ALSO GOOD LOOKING MENFOLK. AND GIRL POWER. THIS IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT ALL FICTIONAL THINGS.
