Revelations from Star Trek Into Darkness

J.J. Abrams' hotly anticipated Star Trek sequel finally opens this month. Among the thrills fans can expect from Into Darkness:
  • Klingons speak in hilarious parodic hip-hop lingo; "this looks like a cool place to kick it!"
  • Extended cameo by Kal Penn as strangely mellow alien ambassador escorted by Sulu
  • Controversial lens flares from first film replaced with relentless, Star Wars-style screen wipes
  • Benedict Cumberbatch's character John Harrison revealed to be cockney actor hired by film's true villain, Janice Lester
  • Chekov killed moments after donning red uniform, in one of many whimsical references to classic Star Trek sure to delight fans
  • Original Series character Richard Daystrom played by actress Grace Park
  • One, mercifully brief scene of Simon Pegg in kilt
  • Android crewmember representing product sponsorship deal with Android operating system 
  • Andrew W.K.'s "Party Hard" played during chase scene
  • More reaction shots. Many, many more.
  • Keenser turns out to be Khan
