Their Second Chance

digital manipulation, recoloring, resizing of still frame from Star Trek INTO DARKNESS (2013; J.J. Abams) -- pictured, Chris Pine as Captain James Kirk and Alice Eve as Special Sciences and Weapons Officer Lieutenant Carol Marcus.   Abrams, co-writer and director Roberto Orci would do well to explore Kirk and Carol's relationship in the next films.  Not only did the two talented,crazily attractive actors have tangible chemistry in a handful of scenes, Carol's strength and smarts are a match for Jim who, dramatizing in wonderful ways, the psychology of Campbell's "Heroes' Journey" through the narrative courses of '09 and INTO DARKNESS and needs only to discover the true pains and pleasures of respectful adult love.
