So....anyone see the latest SNL Star Trek skit? (with Chris Pine!)

Star Trek Lost Episode - SNL (? am I allowed to put a link to it here? It's on youtube on the SNL Official channel)
So....any thoughts? I thought it was ok-good (though not as good as the Morning Joe skit). Beck Bennett's accent seems stuck somewhere closer to Russian than Scottish (or maybe it's just me?). Apparently, the guy they got for Sulu played Sulu on SNL in a 1970s skit? http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood...s-pine-sulu-asian-cast-member-akira-yoshimura

The best bit was probably the 1960s style dancing at the end!

Confirming that I've been right in not watching SNL since the 1980s.

It was alright. Chris Pine as Shatner's Kirk was pretty funny. What I liked more was the skit in the show opening with Chris Pine singing about how he is not Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, or Chris Evans. They do all look remarkably similar!

He was in the original skit, and then again played Sulu in the 80s when Shatner hosted, and they turned the Enterprise saucer into a revolving restaurant. Dana Carvey played Kahn; pretty good skit.
