Star Trek Into Darkness co-writer Damon Lindelof has taken to Twitter to respond to the misogyny claims that have surrounded the now infamous underwear scene.

Featuring prominently in the trailer, the scene – in which Kirk gawps at Alice Eve’s Carol Marcus as she’s changing into her bomb disposal gear – has drawn criticism for for being gratuitous, or even sexist.

Writer Lindelof responded on Twitter with a series of even-handed comments:
