What is your opinion of season 3 as a whole?

Shatner MADE Kirk. While Pine is a good actor, I wasn't as keen on his Kirk but I blame that on the way he was written, not the acting.

Wesley's doing well thus far.
Subjective vs objective, Wesley's reception of the character has been meh to mixed this is an objective opinion though it is brought up a lot. i think the yahoo review of the finale once said snw kirk and spock have no chemistry but puts more criticism on wesley's casting. it is sort of like a bad kiss in trek lore to say kirk and spock have no chemistry.

Shatner made kirk because like pine they both have swag and screen presence. Wesley lacks this so he is not doing as good as kirk should be. Wesley is sort of forgertable in the role. You can do or cant do without him.

You can't do without shatner in tos. He is kirk. As of now if Wesley gets replaced I think some will go along and be secretly happy. If they make a trek 4 without pine folks will get rightfully mad.

The reality is in this new millennial we have already had a stronger cast of actors play the main 3 characters with quinto saladana pine.

I think the kelvin guys did try to make them like their tos versions. Snw just wanted their names but never cared too deeply about tos. Hope they do well with their McCoy since so far snw has yet to find actors way better than their tos or aos counterparts not even their Scotty.

A common agreement i agree with snw is everyone there could have been new characters and nothing will change heck it would have been better. We are after all are been forced to accept spock is doing a khan even though we know it is objectively ridiculous and lame and not even the kelvin guys would have dared take things that far.
