There have been a lot of complaints about 'Star Trek Into Darkness' since the film opened, one of them from some female fans who felt that having character Carol Marcus (Alice Eve) strip down to her bra and panties for no apparent reason. The complaints became too much for 'Star Trek Into Darkness' writer/producer Damon Lindelof who finally admitted the shot was "gratuitous" and "unnecessary."
