leonard mccoy: the ex-wife took the whole damn planet in the divorce. all i got left is my bones.
me: by the founding of the united federation of planets in the 22nd century, capitalism was no longer the economic system of earth, having been replaced by an interim-/proto-post-scarcity socialist democratic new world economy, under which money no longer existed and humanity was considered to have grown out of its infancy and survival-based drive for accumulation and acquisition, with society functioning on communal collaboration as a force for self-improvement, self-enrichment, and the betterment of all humanity.
me: moreover, while this would've been a plum opportunity to give a nod to the backstory and emotional depth of mccoy, particularly given the losses the crew of the enterprise faces themselves as well as the losses they bear witness to in the destruction of the vulcan homeworld over the course of events of this movie, treating bones's relationship as a punchline (and with no mention of his daughter on top of that) is symptomatic of the reduction of bones's characterization in this 'verse overall, and only serves to highlight the weaknesses in writing and direction that have thus far held an otherwise stunning cast and production team back.
me: and really, what was ever wrong with "bones" being short for "sawbones"?
me: like, what is this, a chuck lorre show? stop making alimony jokes, abrams.
me: fake nerd boys, is2g.
