^^ May I ask who those actors would be?
I remember hearing many people say Gary Sinise for McCoy, but the weird problem with him is that he was actually almost too perfect to play McCoy as he quite resembles Deforest Kelley. The filmmakers wanted to hint at those characters without looking weird by everyone doing an impersonation of the original cast.

I absolutely adored the newest Trek movie and I’ve been a fan since 1984, before The Next Generation even started.
I think the original Trek show was so much fun. Think about how many episodes many of us can recall by just describing what wacky thing there was in it! You don’t even need to know all the episode titles like I do. You could even quiz me and tell me what happens and I’ll remember the episode name.
For example :
-The one with the furballs.
-The one with the big lizard man.
-The one with the big ball of spaghetti that eats through rock.
-The one with the stone portal that takes you to Joan Collins.
-The one with Nazis.
-The one with Romans.
-The one with Greeks.
-The one with Chicago gangsters
-The shitty-looking OK Corral one.
-The one with the evil Spock and crew.
-The one with the huge cone that eats planets
-The one where Kirk became an Indian chief
-The one with the little kid pretending to be an alien.
-The one with Spock’s mom and dad.
-The one with the albino gorilla.
-The one with those aliens whose ships make laser webs around the Enterprise.
-The one with a computer that takes over the Enterprise.
-The one where Kirk teams up with Abraham Lincoln to fight Klingons.
-The one where the old Captain shows up in a beeping wheelchair.
-The one where the transporter splits Kirk into good Kirk/bad Kirk.
-The one with Khan.
-The one with the fat con man.
-The one where Spock gets sex crazy and they go to Vulcan.
-The one with the guy Charlie that can do anything.
-The one with the guys with black and white faces.
-The one with the space hippies.
See?
That’s the thing the new movie got right…make it fast and fun and larger than life again.

This made me laugh out hard.
Good job, Nards.

Ok, I think I remember most of those, maybe all.
Did you forget about
Yeah, who woulda guessed George Takei was gay.

Scotty - Paul McGillion from Stargate Atlantis. He auditioned but they stunt-cast Simon Pegg.
Sulu - Shin Koyamada, the kid from The Last Samurai:
Kirk - Sean Astin. Controversial choice, but he’s the spitting image of a young Shatner. Chris Pine went too far by modelling his Kirk on Han Solo.
Zack Quinto succeeded in following on from Leonard Nimoy without impersonating him. Simon Pegg and Chris Pine, not so much. Spock was the lead for me.

Had to Wiki it. I couldn’t remember anything other than that scene
Also, here is Plinkett making a point for the Star Trek reboot being Fantasy vs Science Fiction.
Part 1
The review is long, nerdy, and funny.

Score! Batman Arkham City for 28 bucks from amazon, now I really need to get off my ass and beat Arkham Asylum.
Damn just got Assassin’s Creed Revelations for 34 and Assassin’s Creed 2 for 10 bucks, now I just need a used copy of brotherhood and I’ll never see the out side world again.

Yeah, I’ve seen that…great stuff. Red Letter Media ( well I think it’s just the one guy) is very funny and always makes a very good point.

He rescued the new Star Wars movies for me.
I actually enjoyed watching his 1 hour + reviews more than the films themselves.
Finally, Babylon 5 is what the later Star Trek attempts should have been.

Well, may as well link to the first part of his Episode I review.
I agree with every point he made and I used to be more of a defender of the prequels before I saw his review.

Angry Vader is pleased with your joining of the Dark Side.
Now I just watched part one again and am starting part two. I guess I’ll be watching the whole thing again! Well, it’s Sunday morning here.
But yeah, I would tell anyone who’s a Star Wars fan to watch just the first 2 minutes of that and you’ll see the good points he makes and in a very funny way. It’ a well made video.
So I finally played BF3 on my brother’s PS3, I am disappoint. I only played the multiplayer which is the main point of BF games to me but it made me miss BF2 when it first came out. The maps all seemed so small and claustrophobic. It was like when I tried Black Ops and considered it just a prettier counterstike, I feel the same about BF3.

I wound up watching the Star Trek review because of this thread.
The prequals sucked, but if you stream the youtube of his reviews to a flat screen you have fantastic GEEK/Nerd party tv. Pour the whiskey and laugh.

Yeah…since I posted part one up there I’ve watched them all again (for Episode I( and am on part 4 of Episode II.
He makes great points in the Trek reviews too. I really hope he does Indiana Jones 4 next. I already know I hate that movie but he will hopefully enlighten me on new ways to hate it.

Just got Rage for some quick run and gun fun between Skyrim sessions.
My god. Why did I not read the comment threads before getting it?
The whole concept behind the engine is such a catastrophic failure… First time I saw the screenshots I got a little suspicious (even commented on that here)… Well, things are far worse than I thought… The screens showed the game at it’s best.
Still a fun diversion and all, but… Man… And of course it’s a damn console port again… With mouse emulation instead of direct input… And you get to press the start button at the beginning… What’s next, you want me to put in a coin? One Euro for 3 lives?
Do they still make “pure” shooters nowadays that are thoroughly good?

You’re kidding right? Which maps did you play?

I agree completely. Have you heard anything about Serious Sam 3 BFE? It actually looks like it may not be too bad…

I believe they were metro, firestorm, and bazaar. I played alittle on tehran highway but the team I got on was getting crushed so I was only on that map for five minutes. Are the maps smaller on the ps3 vs pc?
SyFy are developing The Adjustment Bureau into a TV series.
CBS already have a head start by planning a small-screen adap of Source Code.
Limitless series, please.
