Xai:

Do you feel if Shatner is not in this film the new actor will not be compared to him?

That’s a weak argument.

Just checked starshipexeter.com … it’s still there. Maybe it was down for a bit to load the final act and closing credits of “The Tressaurean Intersection”? But, no… I tried that and those two segments are still in post-production supposedly. I wonder what’s up?? Yes, please report Mr. Bailey…

STAR TREK.COM CONTINUED…..Gene’s faith and sound planning bore him out. Even with a shaky start and some vocal fan resistance, TNG boldly went where no drama series had gone before, starting out before 94% of the country’s viewers on 190 stations and growing to 210 by series’ end, outdrawing the World Series and many network hits like Cheers. In turn, that ratings boom jump-started an industry that not only led to the syndicated likes of Babylon 5, Stargate, Hercules, and Xena but to the coming of original drama on USA, Sci-Fi and other cable nets. And now in 2007, the legacy of TNG-inspired genre television is part of the mainstream — Heroes, Lost, Jericho, Ghost Whisperer, Smallville — and remains firmly entrenched on the cable nets, as evidenced by recent hits Battlestar Galactica, The 4400, and The Dead Zone.

SOMETHING FROM STAT TREK.COM TO BACK UP MY WHY STAR TREK FAILED RANT IVE HAD ON EARLIER THREADS AT THE BOTTOM..If so, the creative side would have to look to the business side and a game plan just as radical. Gene’s TOS battles with the NBC network were legendary, but off-network TV syndication in 1986 was hardly an option. Game shows, talk shows and old TV reruns were its mainstays, so the idea of an expensive, first-run drama without a network of affiliates to provide uniform air times and promotion seemed ludicrous. But Gene wanted creative control and a safe incubation period without hassles, and the studio backed his gamble that if Hee Haw and Lawrence Welk could attract their own “network,” surely Star Trek could….AND IT DID UNTIL VOYAGER AND ENTERPRISE WENT BACK TO NETWORKS. LETS SEE A NEW SERIES EVENTUALLY BACK ON SYNDICATION WHERE IT BELONGS!!

Two Kirks or not two Kirks, that is the question. Whether it be nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of TWO outrageous performances or to….ah, to hell with it!!

No, you and Ivory are not correct…you both have an opinion as I have mine. None of them are wrong or right.
And despite all our musings and pleas, Abrams and Paramount will do as they see fit. THAT we can all agree upon. Yes?
#20 Rastaman,
I agree with your opinion and have posted that thought myself (re: Kirk actor in direct comparison with Shat’s Kirk) IMO, it’s not fair to place someone in that position.
