Apparently, no one told the "savage" Khan what doors are either.
I think this was the moment in the movie when I laughed the hardest.
I was a little amazed at how much I was not bothered by the race-change for Khan. However, I've been somewhat amused by John Cho clearly being NOT okay with it and calling Abrams out on it as the press tour goes on.
I have no idea why he was on the Planet of the Red Trees with Kirk, but I don't care. He's fun.
I often had this reaction of "why is he here? who cares, awesome!" whenever he showed on the bridge randomly.
I feel like the writers of these movies have the most trouble writing Kirk. I get that this version is different due to growing up without a father or really a family from what the first movie seems to suggest. So I get he has a slightly more "me against the world" attitude that often gets his entire crew in trouble. Making him like that, however accurate it is in terms of characterization always makes it seem like he has no business in being the captain of anything.
