Wow. Captain Kirk is now only two months older then me. That weired...

And only 4 months older than me. It does seem a bit strange.

quit your whinin. He's more than ten years younger than me. How's my inner child supposed to look up to that?

 

[CaptainDonovin]

^ Darn kids!!

You're just an "older brother." I got 20 years on him. Hell, I could be his dad and few people would bat an eye at it.
I still remember the TOS episode I was watching in 1994 ("Amok Time") when I first realized I'd become older than Kirk was in the TOS time.

 

[Captain Dago]

Yeah, but we're still younger than the original Kirk AND the original Bond, so all is well.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

He's half my age.

 

[Outpost4]

And mine.

Can I call him Jimmy, then?

Is there a joke about "pining" for Kirk to be found in any of this?

You can pine for the fjords, though.

Trektoday picked up on the story, but simply reports it the same way trekmovie.com did.

trekmovie.com is still down.

Cool news. I think he's a good choice, and I think once they put him in uniform, give him light brown contacts, and lighten his hair a bit, he'll look eerily close to a young Shatner.

trekmovie.com is going through some growing pains right now migrating to new servers...it will be problematic during the day but should be resolved tonight

sorry for the invonvenience

 

[Mordock]

Thanks, PTM.

 

[CaptainDonovin]

^ And here I thought you were not only getting new updates on there but new curtains as well! No inconvenience at all, Trekmovie is the best.

More importantly, can he play a young Denny Crane?

I swear if he says "Danny Crane" in the movie, I will piss myself laughing.

 

[CaptainDonovin]

Would be funny as hell if he talked about a Cadet Denny Crane from the academy but I can't see that happening. However...

 

[wamdue]

they should totally do that, same for the Young Spock, he should say Sylar at some point

does seem unlikely I agree

hell would it kill Boston Legal to cast Pine as Danny Cranes son (a genetic one this time)

 

[CaptainDonovin]

Sorry for straying off topic Mods, but with as many women as Denny has had they could do that and make it work. In that respect Denny and Kirk have a lot in common.

Now back to your regularly scheduled topic.

 

[wamdue]

very quickly, you arnt wrong.

back to Pine, you should always have an actor from "The Princess Diaries 2" in your movies.

*flashbacks to working at Disney store, enduring the The Princess Diaries promo 1 million times*

 

[CaptainDonovin]

^ And you didn't lose your mind completely? Impressive. You said promo, can't wait for the promos for this hearing Pine say "Spock" for the first time.

that could still be debated, still havnt seen the movie.

did see Monsters Inc years later (which was also promoing at the time)

Star Trek promo :drools:

all this fan art & speculation is great but nothing compared to promo featuring them all in uniform, in character.

AND a beauty shot of the Enterprise on the big screen which I'll be seeing Nov. 13.
