Possible spoilers there.

Jennifer Morrison (Cameron from House) has been pegged for Carol Marcus, and some Aussie has been chosen to play George Kirk (Jim's Dad.)


An Aussie playing Kirk's father? Kirk is from Iowa, WTF would an Aussie be doing living in Iowa? I can't even figure out WTF Americans are doing living in Iowa!

Perhaps Aussie actors can act with American accents, just like Americans can act with Aussie ones? Just a thought.

I do have to agree though...Iowa?

Michelle Ryan - Bionic Woman 07 - is Australian.

And yes, James Tiberius Kirk was born in Iowa.

Huh. I coulda sworn from the pre-show interviews she had an Australian accent... oh well
Trakhina 17 years ago
Hey, she might've done something which required an aussie accent hehe. Don't know, haven't seen her in much prior to BW except Jekyll... which I recommend. She's a whole lot better with her own accent.

OMG, is Spock Sylar???

i'm having a hard time believing a guy that young is captain kirk.

also, quinto looks goofy in that getup.

also, i really shouldn't care because star trek annoys me, but whatever.

Shatner was 35 when he played Kirk, and Pine is only 28.
Yes, that is the same guy who plays Sylar.
Vishanti 16 years ago
1) 28 is a lot younger than 35.
2) Modern Hollywood pics actors who look even younger than they are, thus really accentuating the age difference. He could pass for a college kid, whereas early Shatner already had a somewhat mature look.
3) Forget college, he'd be almost believable in a high school role.

No. I don't think I can approve Sylar playing Spock. The evil hotness is gone, and destroying evil hotness is just not allowed.

28 is nothing from 35, especially if you stay in shape...or have a girdle like Shatner did =x

28 is 20% younger than 35. 1/5 is pretty significant. I met a girl I thought was younger than me when I was 20. Imagine my surprise when she turned out to be just shy of 10 years older. The very fact that she looked so young made it hard for me to ever see her as her age.

Same thing with this guy. I just can't see him as Captain Kirk. It's the same issue I had with Cyclops and Jean Grey in X-Men. He looked way too young for her.

They could've at least updated the hair instead of sticking with the old 1966 haircut.
ROzbeans 16 years ago
Whatever. That's your personal experience but it doesn't make me wrong or you right. In any case...

Yeah Sylar as Spock is freaking me out a bit, but I am friggin diggin on Simon Pegg being Scotty. /squee!
