-Can we officially shut the fuck up about Jake Locker now? I don't care if he was playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-20 for 71 yards, a TD, and 2 INTs is unacceptable. If you take away a 45 yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse, he was 3-19 for 26 yards and 2 INTs. He's got lots of talent and I'm sure he's a perfectly decent kid but the idea that Locker is the ultimate prospect in this year's NFL Draft is inexplicable. His Heisman campaign is obviously deader than dead at this point and I see no reason that he won't be the next Tim Couch. -Here's a random one: Kansas is down 31-10 to Southern Miss...they score a touchdown with 5:17 left in the game...and go for two?! Uh...what? Who did the math on that one? What possible scenario are they planning for?

If the bad guy turns out to be Khan - the most banal choice imaginable - there is no end to how disappointed I'll be. Lots of this movie will be based on mining visual imagery from Trek's past.
"Hey, remember this, you fat fuck fanboys?"
Who is the bad guy? We know it's someone from Trek, so here are my Vegas style odds:
Odds:
Khan: 2 to 3
Gary Mitchell: 5 to 1
Garth of Izar: 20 to 1
Finnegan: 10 to 1
The parasite aliens from the TNG episode "Conspiracy:" 500 to 1
