I do think Damon's a good actor, but I also think he'd be good in the role. I'll confess, he wasn't my first choice either, but I confess he's grown on me. I think Josh Hartnett may surprise us. I do think there's a depth to him that he hasn't been able to explore yet. Remember, too, that Nimoy was still fairly fresh in the biz when he signed on. But that does raise an interesting question. Who do y'all think would be a good Spock? For that matter, who would you want to step into the original characters?

On the other hand, the Nexus does offer the perfect opportunity to bring Kirk back in any era. Maybe Kirk (and Picard) are always partly tied to the Nexus. Effectively immortal, Kirk can wander out of the Nexus whenever he feels like it and lend a hand. Imagine opening Trek XI with Spock in trouble on Romulus. Kirk turns up from the Nexus and rescues him. Within the Nexus they observe a relevant story with the new cast! Or something . . . my head's spinning!

And i agree Adam that the notion of Kirk could actually be seen as something brought about by Picard's own conscious as well. I could write a long, detailed metaphysical explanation to how it would work but over all............it was all just poor writing on the hands of Brannon and Braga in the piece. #112.

Now it may just be my acting training/analysis in that opinion but i have not seen Hartnett display the level of capability needed for it. And I do think Damon is a good actor, but i dont think he is the right actor to play Jim Kirk. Just because someone is good and has star quality does not mean they are qualified to fill every role out there. And u have the right to love Nemesis, I just feel that with the material that they produced in TNG series it was a major step down in almost every way.

Did we forget the original topic? Personally, I loved Nemesis, but I am much more a fan of TOS and the original movies than TNG and their trip into the Cinema system. As far as the budget goes, Paramount should revisit what they did in ST:II. Harve Bennett was assigned the film. He came from Paramount Television dept. He used many of his money-scrimping skills he learned in television on this film, thus making an amazing film with exccellent fx on a relatively meager budget. Yes, I'm thrilled about JJ Abrams taking the helm, as I've heard he's a huge fan of TOS. If this is a Kirk/Spock story, I welcome Mr. Damon as Kirk. He is a very talented actor, and he has a star quality, so he has plenty of clout on both sides of the hollywood actor scene. Now, I'll throw this out there...Josh Hartnet as Spock...anyone?

It was the real Kirk wasn't it? because they were on a planet-veridian 3 WAITING for the nexus with Picard,Kirk and Malcolm McDowell.Right.So that means KIrk is really dead.Buried under rocks too.Really ,Really dead.Crap ACB.the nexus produced all sorts of familiar people to nexus captives in all sorts of scenarios.They weren’t necessarily the ACTUAL people.As a matter of fact some of them were purely imaginary(Picard’s kids).I’m trying to support the fact that the Kirk that was killed on veridian 3 wasn’t the real Kirk or was it?I guess I’ll have to watch that movie again to be sure.Wait!
