Paul Wesley's incarnation of James T. Kirk

Hence the essence of my joke. Bill made good use of craft services.Yeah, like TOS Kirk was a ripped weightlifter or even that stacked.
A role model for us all. Bill's gut was a road sign to show us the way to happiness.
Starfleet Command, please send up more girth units.

I just watche PRO's "All the World's a Stage" and I realized that the Enderprizians were re-enacting all of the famous Kirk Fu moves.
It's always mystifying to me that mentioning Mary Wiseman's increasing weight would (rightfully) earn a warning, but 'Shatner the Fatner' jokes are fine?
If you're going to judge Wesley's Kirk on this episode and the last, you might as well judge Shatner's Kirk on Where No Man Has Gone Before and The Man Trap (or Stewart's Picard on all of TNG Season 1).
Wesley is doing a fine job. I see aspects of both Shatner and Pine in his mannerisms. And he adds his own unique flare.
Yes, well, we all know that Kirk was defined by his weight...
Eh, it's not a dig at any particular person on here. Just a double standard I've noticed.
Everyone lacks Shatner's charisma. Except maybe Austin Powers.
Shatner was never all that. During the NBC run it's not clear that he had much of a fanbase associated with the role. That changed during the 70s as trekkies mined every instant and aspect of the show for whatever they could get out of it. That went hand-in-hand with elevating the supporting cast and day players in importance.
Bullshit.
Show me a fan film which has a performance on par with the job Christina Chong did in this episode.
Yeah, the gulf between the best fan film and the worst professional work is so wide as to be unbridgable. And this episode was great Star Trek.
People here are so lovely
I don't buy him as Kirk but it's nice to see so many people do. I'm not a huge TOS fan so maybe don't have the affinity. Or conversely Kirk is just so iconic that buying teill match amd shouldn't try to match.
The worst thing I think about the last episode was why can't we have one of the actual car along for the ride?
People got very upset over the Enterprise finale not being Enterprise yet this had one cast member and none of the usual Trek trappings. I said at the time it felt like a bonus webisode or something.

Of course, omitting the part where I defended and praised an actors' performance.
If someone makes a hyperbolic, dishonest statement, I'll call them out on it and I'd expect others to do exactly the same to me.
Let me know when I've broken any rules.
Oh I know. This whole episode has reminded me of aspects of fandom that I find less than palatable, including double standards.
