Shatner / Nimoy still a possibility?

[Kirk's Tribble]

Interesting.

However, they will have to have Shatner wear blue contact lenses, to keep continuity accurate for the alternate reality.

Nah. First time Nu!Kirk tried the Retinax eye medicine that his prime counterpart was allergic to, one of the reactions was spontaneous eye color change.

That part can be left for the novelization, though.

Haha. Maybe the alternate reality Kirk took Retinax V already, hence his eyes being blue.

Maybe THAT was what was in McCoy's initial injection in Trek2009 that made his hands and tongue swell up. One of my favorite scenes in the movie, actually!

I'm a proponent and believe that Shatner and Nimoy SHOULD appear.

It's the 50th anniversary and...let's face the painful truth...these guys are in their 80s.

The time for this is NOW.

We're lucky they're still with us. We should take advantage and use them while we can.

There's plenty of chances for Pine and Quinto to stand on their own, but the 50th anniversary is something special.

Gotta disagree. Shatner and Nimoy are great, but they've both had a couple of curtain calls already. Heck, The Undiscovered Country was supposed to be their last hurrah and that was nearly a quarter of a century ago!

How many extra bows do they need?

Sure, there's an anniversary and all, but that doesn't mean you turn back the clock just to celebrate. I mean, you didn't see Sean Connery showing up in Skyfall.

And he's not getting any younger either.

Actually a part for Connery was written into Skyfall but it was rejected because it was a very small part and they did not want to reduce him to just a caretaker of the skyfall property, he was supposed to have been the caretaker.
