Wow, I like this poll if only for the pics you've posted Ria :techman:

I've voted, and that's a surprise for everyone...nuSpock :p
I can't help it, even if nuKirk and nuBones are eye candies, I'm irresistibly drawn to Spock.

Although my memory of Conrad's butt in well-lit colour is just fine. It's like John Barrowman in the hub without the coat: the way his derrière catches the light... :drool:
Oh yeah :drool: I think they often make him wear the coat so as to not loose the whole - female or male - audience too fast. Hyperventilating can be a bitch :lol:
There are also those broad shoulders enhanced by the suspenders. Who would have thought suspenders could look that sexy?
Ahem, back on topic :D

Oh wow :eek: Not sure I could find sleep with the Spock one in my bedroom :lol:
You know I've been searching for pics where the uniforms could be seen in detail? I'm glad you posted this link!

Hands up who would have believed when they announced making Trek XI that Dr McCoy would be the sexiest character?
I didn't even recognize Karl Urban in the trailers and I've seen this guy in RL :lol:
He's not the sexiest for me but he's certainly much sexier than I expected.
The troika is mighty sexy. We've been spoiled :drool:
 
If you're talking about "Who would have believed McCoy would be the sexiest character," Raytas, I don't think any irony or sarcasm was intended, nor was (I'm darn sure) any insult intended to Urban. I think what was being expressed was surprise that the character of Dr. McCoy would turn out so sexy. I mean, don't get me wrong, I am eternally fond of Kelley, but in TOS, feminine appreciation was split between Kirk and Spock, with maybe a few Sulu and Chekov fans thrown in for good measure. McCoy? Not so much - not as far as I can remember, anyway.

I think I mentioned this early on, but I had taken great pains to avoid spoilers and even most of the trailers, so I was totally blown away by Urban's McCoy. Oh, my gosh...

But Spock is still and always my favorite, whether he's played by Nimoy or Quinto.
 
Kate, you're a Spock girl, I get it. I wasn't being all that serious.

Still....Urban rocks. I agree. I'm among those who wasn't expecting McCoy to be that awesome. :p
 
Am I too drunk to get the irony? Or sarcasm? Or whatever?
You didn't get it because there was none :)

That's exactly how I meant it. I didn't see McCoy in TOS as sexy, he was more like a father/uncle figure to me (I was 7 and then 12 at that time). So imagine my shock when nuBones appears in that shuttle and suddenly my thoughts are most certainly not those of a daughter/niece :eek:

Karl Urban is a very attractive man and I don't know if it's still the case now because people change over time but 5 years ago, he had that hint of shyness about him that was completely endearing.

Oh heavens, I definitely meant no insult to Karl Urban. I thought he was sex on legs way before Trek. But I wasn't expecting him to beat out both Pine and Quinto in a three-way poll. So cool!

You have? When? How? Did you speak? Was he nice?

Yeah, "avuncular" describes Kelley's McCoy very well. Urban's? Not so much!
 
Actually... I think Kelley was really attractive and charming. He's growing on me even faster than Nimoy. I can't bring myself to even think of Shatner in that way, so I'm not even going to go there.

1) Quinto
2) Urban
3) Kelley
4) Pine
5) Yelchin
6) Nimoy
7) Greenwood

Here's how I'm feeling it right now.
 
^ ^ Really, Nile? Nope, never did feel it. But thank goodness we don't all like the same men, eh?

If I were remake your list my way...well, Kelley would beat out Yelchin - a woman my age drooling over Yelchin (at least as he appears in this movie) would practically be pedophilia, and I'm not the least bit inclined to drool over him anyway. But I'd put Nimoy/Spock first, with Quinto/Spock and Greenwood/Pike tied or almost tied for second.

It's a a weird, dirty feeling. :lol:

I was just a waiting for that trainwreck to come flaming down the track.

I think CR was a bit shocked at how badly Chris Pine is doing in this poll (at this point) since he's her favourite by far.
No comparison with the Kirk/Spock poll. Banning males seems to be working. Sorry, guys. Kirk will always be the captain, but the new one is a bit young for many of us so far. He has at least one movie lined up for coming of age. (NuSpock too. I wouldn't mind seeing him a bit thinner. His cheeks are so smooth, compared to Nimoy, even in TOS! He looks a bit husky, for a Vulcan.)

It's a bit removed, but in DS9 episode Tribble and Tribulations, when Jadzia Dax spots McCoy, she recognizes him from when he was young and she was in another life. She says he had beautiful hands - surgeon's hands, and she implies they had an affair. Before (or after?) she gushes over Spock's eyes. :lol:

Karl Urban is a very attractive man and I don't know if it's still the case now because people change over time but 5 years ago, he had that hint of shyness about him that was completely endearing.
You should watch those 2 interview linked toward the end of the Urban thread. He looks nowhere near shy, and quite funny in the one about Kuwait and the sunglasses. In the other, he explains how he came to be McCoy.
Pike is still the sexiest. It's all about the attitude.
Hehe, I'm not the only one to mix up Pike and Pine.

Edit: It turns out CR has not made a typo, she's just drunk and susceptible. :devil:

But Pine isn't doing badly. It's been a dead heat between him and Spock until the last day or so here. In fact, Pine was ahead of Spock for quite a few days.

As far as I know, only two males posted in the other poll.

With Pine ahead by five over there, the conclusion is that when McCoy voters don't have a choice, a number of them vote Kirk.
 
Not every voter posts.
The conclusion still is that when McCoy voters don't have a choice, some of them vote Pine.

Per my edit, Pine was ahead of Spock here by 2 votes for the last three or four days.
 
Ew, it's going too fast. I was goind to edit thus:

Relatively to Urban.

True.

I guess.

I always post too fast and get quoted before I'm done editing.

Yes, but CR is drunk, does she remember that? Or is that reversal precisely the cause of her shock?

I sincerely hope that the voters from the other poll come back to vote, because as much as I want Karl to win, I want to be sure we have the real numbers.
How many women are posting in this subforum anyway?
