It now looks like Cumby/Harrison is working for Section 31.

While it is a distinct possibility Section 31 appeared in DS9 and ENT and I doubt that they wanna tie their movies into anything but TOS.

BUT the info has to come from Abrams and his people first.

Could still be misdirection.

It's been posted almost everywhere over the last 5 hours. STL FB page and boards included...

We have someone at STL who thinks Section 31 is involved as well. I don't see anything that points to that.

Alice Eve is…

apparently confirmed as Carol Marcus

Why do we think it's Section 31?

They're the bad boys of Starfleet. The one's that are always up to mischief and always causing problems for others. Its not a stretch to believe they're involved, especially if they have been infiltrated.

Beware major spoilers…

Uh-oh! Yeah. All I did was skim it. And I already wish I hadn't.

There's nothing there that really tells too much, I think. Even the presence of Eve doesn't strictly mean Khan, though the seemingly increasing evidence inclusion of a genetics angle does.

Of course, if John Harrison is possibly an alias (like Miranda Tate in TDKR) then his true identity remains potentially a question mark. If I'm not mistaken (and I could be!) then Peter Weller's character is the only one who we still know nothing 'properly' about, but I seem to remember some rumour he was supposed to be a CEO. That could figure into some of what we already have revealed. Maybe.

Thing to bear in mind is Abrams knows (they and we all know) everything coming out is getting forensically analysed to work out the 'truth' of what's going on. And often with Abrams the marketing mysteries are more interesting than the often conventional nature of what's being marketed. So nothing is coming out now without being carefully picked and some of it will be getting picked to make things look one way on purpose..............because he knows he's being watched. But with him it's 50/50 on it being what it appears or being something there to misdirect people.

I.e the last scene of the Japanese trailer.
