He does forget sometimes. When that happens, I would help myself out of the room and give them privacy.

“Dreamland” is a good song.
Vi veri veniversum vivus vici: So Cumberbatch was cast as KHAN after all; and some "purists" were pissed he wasn't "brown enough" for the role
For the love of Khan, PEOPLE!
The man just delivered one of the most magnetic and menacing performances any fan can hope for from an actor asked to resurrect one of the most iconic and definitive of franchise villains, totally owned the role (and the whole movie, for that matter)… and people are…
The issue is more of not letting a non-white play the role of a human with SUPERIOR intelligence and capabilities. They would feel that this represents the non-tolerance to a threat to the white supremacy.
That’s what I was trying to address as well.
Is it really less politically correct, or does it readily imply racial insensitivity to consider that the casting decision DID NOT revolve around racial considerations at all?
Would it have been a greater service to the fans or to the Star Trek lore if Abrams and company closed their eyes to what Cumberbatch could contribute to the reinvention of Khan as an iconic villain?
In my opinion as an unapologetically and unabashedly huge fan of Ben Cumberbatch’s talent (I didn’t know the man from Adam when I tuned into the first episode of Sherlock, but he was just so magnetic and charismatic he had me at the beating-the-crap-out-of-a-corpse-with-a-riding-crop scene), I truly believe it was NOT AT ALL “let’s NOT give the role to anyone but a white dude” decision, but more of a “wow, this guy can really bring the power and the menace of the character to a totally different level” judgment call.
Haha actually I’m deciding to watch Sherlock just based on his spectacular acting in this movie and I can’t argue how well he has performed.
It might have really been the case that Benedict Cumberbatch was given the role in a manner just as you have mentioned however, I do personally feel that based on the character’s history, making a Indian genetically engineered to be superior appear white does have a serious implication.
What I am trying to say is that it is reasonable for some people to feel offended by this unintentional lack of foresight.
I wish that we can all appreciate that while it is not very true to the original, this latest rendering was superb even though sticking to the old back story raised some unwanted issues that pose as a concern to some of the fans.
