I play up my distaste for original star trek but actually I do appreciate it. They did some good things with the limitations and I like Spock and Scotty and even Bones. I didn't like Kirk cause basically all he ever seemed to do in first contact situatios was make out with it or punch it. I think if they followed along the lines of the pilot episode with Captain Pike and the Nurse woman as Number 1, it would have been a better show. I may not have been as successful without the cowboy, who knows. They probably think a Kirkish movie will have bigger appeal. I certainly will give it a chance. I wonder if this will turn out to be just a rumor, like Jodie Foster will play Boba Fett in the new Star Wars movies or Tom Hanks will play Valentine Micheal Smith in a Stranger in a Strange land move.
