Star Trek Into Darkness co-writer Damon Lindelof took to Twitter yesterday to apologize for having actress Alice Eve strip down to her bra and panties in the film for no purpose other than she’s Alice Eve and director J.J. Abrams is a caring, wonderful giver.

Lindelof tweeted:

I copped to the fact that we should have done a better job of not being gratuitous in our representation of a barely clothed actress. I take responsibility and will be more mindful in the future.

It’s easy to understand why some people are shocked to see Eve objectified in the movie being that this is the only time she’s appeared in underwear since She’s Out of My League… and Starter for 10… and there’s that time she went nude in Crossing Over… and when she played walking breasts on Sex and the City 2.

Well, at least the media covering this story didn’t exploit her.
