And did Karl really call after the pregnant lady and say "I think you're a virgin!" or was that just my (horrified) hearing
*wail* Trek's gone from my cinema of choice!
I shall have to go through this thread and watch all the interviews again - little snippets of Karl as McCoy
I have something that might tide you over, trampledamage. I'm hoping we can post links to stuff on You Tube here--I went through the rules and didn't see anything, but if I'm over the line here, mods, I apologize and please let me know. This is a video that was shot after the Star Trek premiere afterparty in London. Karl comes in about 2 minutes into it, and he's absolutely adorable--making hand gestures, singing, talking to people--plus he looks devastatingly handsome. Almost even better, he appears to be a gentleman (swoon). I came across it last night and had to watch it twice. I hope it takes care of the withdrawal!

I did hear the word "virgin," but can't catch the rest. I'm hoping it's just a private joke between the two of them. Although he does seem to have a touch of the outrageous in him, so it could very well be.
Yeah, it's hard to tell with no other reference marks, but I've known people who did surveillance work in insurance-fraud cases and you do end up with a lot of junk footage while trying to get the good bits; you just edit out all the dross and save what you came for, which is what this clip looks like. It can't be much different for the paparazzi; they're just more obvious about it.
Well that's the sensible response
I suppose it all looks like it's happening at the same time because it's all at night so the lighting never changes.
She seems to have an entourage (or is that a posse? I'm so behind on the terminology, any more.
)I can make out what seems to be the word 'virgin', but for all I can tell he may have been talking about what airline they were flying out on in the morning. Looks like it could have been a joke, too, but the audio isn't clear enough to tell.And did Karl really call after the pregnant lady and say "I think you're a virgin!" or was that just my (horrified) hearing
Just after.
Urban is the man. 
That was fun! Thanks. :-) I'd seen the earlier one, but I think this was better. That Karl is hilarious; everybody's taking pictures of them, and he's taking pictures of the cameraman and everything.
They've killed McCoy before, too, though, and that wasn't even allowed to stick until the end of the episode. Besides, if McCoy were to die, who's going to be the one to intone "he's dead, Jim"? There are some things you just don't mess with, and I think that may be one of them.I was having nightmare thoughts yesterday evening.
That in Trek XII the writers and director decide they really want to show that this is a new universe. How best to do that? Kill off one of the main characters. But if you really want to screw with your audience's expectations, you take the Joss Whedon approach and don't pussy-foot around with one of the secondary set - like Chekov or Scotty. You go for the main three - like they attempted to with Wrath of Khan. But Spock's been killed before, you really can't kill Kirk.
So that leaves McCoy
I swear, if I hear Joss Whedon's name associated with Trek XII, I'm crawling under a rock and not coming out again!

Say it ain't so! :scared:I was having nightmare thoughts yesterday evening.

This is the triad in the movie. They are introduced one, two, three -- and then McCoy. I think td should be vigilant.
That's a better thought.Say it ain't so! :scared:
I don't think you (or we) have to worry about that. No way would they kill off McCoy. Urban/McCoy is one of the most (I would say the most) popular characters from the movie. He's now a main audience draw for the rest of the Alternate Timeline movies.
Unless they can bring him back ala Spock. I doubt they would want to do that though given how new this particular McCoy character is. They just recast him after all.
