Pegg's 'stache

[P0sitr0nic]

Id rather they focus on giving him a good part, and him actiing it well, then worry about trying to make him look like Doohan.

I think Uhura should have a 'stache!

You know, it just occurred to me that Pegg will most likely have to wear a hair-piece rather than just dying his hair, since it it is so much thinner than Doohan's was. Shatner wore a hair-piece in TOS. Funny that at least one actor will be wearing a rug in this interpretation as well.

^ Ah, but will it be the greasy fringe Scotty had early on?

I file under Who Cares. As far as I'm concerned Scotty could sport a "full kit" beard in the new film. He could have shaved prior to Where No Man Has Gone Before, so it's not really an issue. I know some of the spin-off media (novels and comics) suggested Scotty grew the moustache he wore in TMP at some point near the end of the first mission (IIRC that's also when he started to go grey according to the spin-offs ... though for all we know he could have been using Grecian Formula 2362 since the days of Chris Pike), but this is one of those issues that doesn't really make a lick of difference to the canon. Heck, the movie could take place between episodes of TOS and it still wouldn't matter as long as you have a razor. Most men can grow a pretty full moustache in a week.

Cheers!

Would it be over the top for me to expect all the new actors to have plastic surgery to make them more closely resemble the originals (and that the same actress play both Pike's Number One and Nurse Chapel)?

Really, they should just cgi the faces of the original cast over the new actors...then none of this would be an issue.
