I LOVE the script from Simon Pegg, but I think that she was completely unnecessary and a bit annoying. She only brought the team together (Which could have been written that they just found each other). I feel that she was added in by corporate to be more Politically Correct.
This is my favorite of the new trilogy, it felt like a lost episode, which was great. This one thing just really bugs me.
she was completely unnecessary
I definitely agree with you
shareIt should be just you

I quite like Jaylah actually, I think she was a good addition to the team, but I agree that her character wasn't exactly necessary. I feel the same way about Carol in Into Darkness, I don't dislike Carol, but she wasn't necessary either.
sharemy thoughts exactly. Carol's role in Into Darkness was not necessary so i thought that her introduction was a set up for her to become more stable crew member like Uhura or Bones. but that didnt happen in next film so it was just a big waste
now the same happened with Jaylah. in addition, she seemed even more annoying than Carol and even more underdeveloped and she even looked ugly. actress that plays Jaylah is more attractive without makeup than what they transformed her into with makeup
its interesting whats the reason for this. too little time between films to get the story ready and develop all the characters properly or any other reason
She was ok but yeah end of the day her entire character was basically there to help them get off the planet. Her story added nothing to the movie. Her parents were killed by whoever the villain was, big shrug. It didn't connect to anything else.
I don't see them bringing her back there is zero reason to.
I liked her. She was miles better than the Alice Eve character from the previous one who was only in the movie for one reason.

More politically correct? Wtf are you talking about?
shareShe didn't really have a character arc. Ideally she should have killed the guy who killed her father (I don't think she did, I fell asleep in parts). That made her window dressing.
shareNo she didn't kill him, she had to bail out of the fight in order to catch up to Kirk so they could both be beamed back onto the Franklin together and escape the planet. Based on their fight, it seems like she wasn't strong enough to beat Manas anyway.
I wonder whether Manas knew that Krall and his army had lost their battle to destroy Yorktown and that Krall and his minions were all killed, Manas was the only one who remained on the planet and did not join the battle, it's difficult to believe he didn't, he would've found out somehow.
