"Ultra violent?" Former creator/ producer Gene Roddenberry blanched at making Star Trek violent. Remember the scene in Star Trek 2 where Khan inserted a parasitic worm into Checkov's ear to make him more compliant (the scream scene)? The original sequence was even more violent and horrible; but, Gene pushed to dial it back. If Gene were alive today, there might be some behind the scenes conflicts about making this new Trek movie "ultra violent" if that is indeed the new direction.
