While co-writer Damon Lindelof publicly apologized on Twitter for the gratuitous nature of this five-second shot, Alice Eve herself has fiercely defended the sequence and repeatedly stated she is incredibly proud of it When Star Trek Into Darkness debuted, audiences heavily criticized the scene where Dr. Carol Marcus strips down to her dark lingerie While the writing and directing team copped to the fact that the moment was clumsily executed purely for titillation, Alice Eve pushed back against the exploitation narrative She clarified that she voluntarily spent months working intensely with a personal trainer to get in peak physical shape for the scene Rather than feeling objectified, she felt completely prepared, thoroughly enjoyed filming it, and remains confused by the continuous fan controversy surrounding it more than a decade later.
