Oh yeahAlthough 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...![]()
Oh wow
I didn't even recognize Karl Urban in the trailers and I've seen this guy in RLHands up who would have believed when they announced making Trek XI that Dr McCoy would be the sexiest character?
You didn't get it because there was noneAm I too drunk to get the irony? Or sarcasm? Or whatever?
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/nieceI 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.
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 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.

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.
Still....Urban rocks. I agree. I'm among those who wasn't expecting McCoy to be that awesome.![]()
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.You didn't get it because there was noneAm I too drunk to get the irony? Or sarcasm? Or whatever?![]()
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.I think what was being expressed was surprise that the character of Dr. McCoy would turn out so sexy.

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.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.
Hehe, I'm not the only one to mix up Pike and Pine.Pike is still the sexiest. It's all about the attitude.
Not every voter posts.
The conclusion still is that when McCoy voters don't have a choice, some of them vote Pine.Not every voter posts.
Relatively to Urban.But Pine isn't doing badly.
True.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.
Not every voter posts.As far as I know, only two males posted in the other poll.
I guess.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.
Yes, but CR is drunk, does she remember that? Or is that reversal precisely the cause of her shock?The conclusion still is that when McCoy voters don't have a choice, some of them vote Pine.Not every voter posts.
Per my edit, Pine was ahead of Spock here by 2 votes for the last three or four days.
