Is Star Trek Into Darkness Image Another "HE WANTED TO GET CAUGHT!" Moment?

It's easy to get caught up. I speak from experience. But can't take stand-alone production stills to heart and begin dissecting what they may or may not mean. No idea the context of that moment captured, what has gone on before or where the characters stand. But when it's J.J. "I heart Mystery Box" Abrams, it's even harder not to because so little else has been shown prior.

Omelete has this image from Star Trek Into Darkness:

It puts that moment from the Japanese trailer (blatantly echoing Spock's death from The Wrath of Khan) into better context. Though we still don't know what's going on. It also makes you wonder if this isn't another "The villain is captured so he can escape in an elaborate fashion!" plot twist.

JJ Abrams brain trust knows exactly what they are doing. Everything being released has a very carefully calculated and timed feel to it.

Look at how they have fired up the interwebs. Brilliant.

Takes notes folks. This is brilliant marketing.
