Benedict Cumberbatch finds himself in the brig in Star Trek Into Darkness. Where have we seen this before?

Gary Mitchell (Gary Lockwood) is locked up in “Where No Man Has Gone Before;” Star Trek: TOS.
Speculation that Cumberbatch is playing an updated version of Gary Mitchell has been ongoing for several months (years, even), but today’s release of the top photo above, which directly parallels one of the setups in the original Star Trek episode, “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” makes it difficult to think that Cumberbatch is playing anyone other than Mitchell. (Or some sort of hybrid of Mitchell and other characters, new and old; or perhaps part of a series of “homages” to Star Trek classic moments, which, or course, would not require Cumberbatch to be playing either Khan or Mitchell.)
Abrams says, “This movie was not made for Star Trek fans — it was made for movie fans, but if you’re a Star Trek fan, I think you’ll be really happy. There’s a lot of stuff in here for you.” Does this mean that the movie is going to be filled with homage moments such as the one above?
