3. Give The Females Something To Do
One of my main problems with Star Trek Into Darkness is that it didn't really feel like the female characters had a whole lot of agency. Uhura is, as stated earlier, reduced to the nagging girlfriend stereotype for much of the film, while as Dr. Carol Marcus, Alice Eve is mostly a walking plot-point intended to get the narrative moving and provide a possible love interest for Kirk in future installments. Depressingly, the most memorable contribution Eve makes to the film is probably the facepalm-inducingly gratuitous scene of her in her underwear. How's about in Trek 3, Uhura gets her own kick-ass fight scene of a decent length, and Marcus does something that demonstrates her scientific know-how? It shouldn't be difficult.
