"Kirk is laying into Harrison for the terrible things he’s done, but the Batch is playing it cold. For unknown reasons, Kirk has to make a deal with the devil, so he can get onto Harrison’s mystery warship that was made strictly “for combat.” In return for Harrison’s assistance, Kirk guarantees the safety of Harrison’s crew. This is where it gets good. Harrison, utilizing his best dragon-tongued laugh, smiles and responds, “Captain, you can’t even guarantee the safety of your own crew.” Cold as ice. The whole place got chills. I’m still surprised people didn’t just start tossing money at the screen.
We’ve all heard Cumberbatch narrate melodramatically over the trailer, and we’ve seen a few exchanges between him and random character that don’t hold a ton of emotional value — but this was our first glimpse of an uncut Cumberbatch scene. Harrison dresses down Kirk so perfectly, it’s almost like watching the male, human version of Maleficent on screen."
