There?s a press event for Star Trek Into Darkness going down this evening, and tweets from reporters in attendance have answered one major question about the Trek sequel. Alice Eve, pictured above, is apparently playing

Carol Marcus, the woman who was the mother of Kirk?s son, David, in the earlier Trek films

. What does this mean for Into Darkness, and with regards to Cumberbatch?s role?

Before Khan comes back, I should say it is thought that the young blonde lab tech Mitchell introduces Kirk to in "WNMHGB", is

Carol Marcus

. Maybe JJ might be setting something up here for the third film.

I don't see the woman being Carol Marcus. If I recall, Kirk decided to go "back" to Starfleet rather than carry on the relationship. I think that rules out Carol Marcus even BEING in Starfleet.

As for the screenshot, it's interesting that Cumberpatch is wearing a shirt with the Starfeel insignia. I guess they did say a threat from within Starfleet. Wouldn't it be cool if it was the species that took over people's bodies in TNG?

Except that it is now confirmed to be her. Check trekmovie.com for more info.

There is no canon timeline for the alternate universe, they can put characters in whatever situation they want to now.

According to that site Cumberbatch will be called Harrison in the movie so that puts Gary Mitchell out the window I suppose

Wow it is confirmed to be Carol Marcus? I know the timeline is different but I didn't think they would change it that much. In ST 2, it was implied that the two were together when Kirk had left Starfleet and he left her to return. If it indeed is her in this movie, I wonder if SHE leaves to be a private scientist to invent the Genesis Device.

Sorry to spoil all the speculation guys but have you seen Benedict Cumberbatch's ear closely?

This dude is a Vulcan. This ain't no Gary Mitchel or anything close to it. This character is Vulcan, which probably explains why he and Spock are touching on the glass and if you see closely to that scene, Spock is touching the glass with the Vulcan salute. This dude is related to Spock some how. The ear is there to prove he is not human.

Perhaps you're over estimating Cumberbatch's ear?

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
