It's a cool idea that the character is supposed to be a drug addict who is just trying to get his next fix (his drug being getting back into the Nexus; a heaven like world) but he just seems like the weakest and most uninteresting villain in the series. It's made even worse that the villain in this movie *SPOILER* is the person who actually ends Cpt. Kirk's life in the entire …
