# 70 J.J. Carver —

Thank you for the acknowledgement of Sinise’s lack of the proper temperament to portray Dr. McCoy. I thought I was the only one who noticed that for EVERY one of Sinise’s roles, he seemed cold and humorless…and cold and humorless are NOT the personality traits required to play Dr. McCoy.

Sure, he looks and sounds like McCoy, but so what. I’d rather have an actor that bears hardly any resemblance to McCoy, but can act exactly like McCoy acts — and Sinise has never shown in any role he has ever played that he has the required warmth and sense of humor to play a proper McCoy.

Gary Sinise? This is supposed to get Trek fans excited? The guy is so wooden he’s a part of the furniture on CSI New York.

hmmm… what are the producers thinking… take a story about he future… a fain base of people that look to the future… then tell them a story about the
“Early Years”. You’d think after Enterprise that they would realize that Star Trek is all about looking forward. What’s next? That’s what we want to know. No more of this prequel filler stuff, it just isn’t as interesting.

Oh, I just can’t help but love these posts and see some people just throw optimism out the window. There are always possibilities, after all.. and.. IMO Trek hasn’t gone stale, it’s just been written poorly over time. So lets see what these new writers will do to ADD to the franchise and remain faithful to Roddenberry’s vision. These folks know they’re being watched very closely!

Everyone just needs to chill out about this movie. It will be what it will be. I hope it retains some filament of faith to the original, and will be interested to see how the Trek concept is “reimagined” (to whatever extent it may be). If it is successful, that’s wonderful; if not, I will have appreciated the attempt.

Unless Anthony knows a lot more than he’s telling us, it sounds like they’re preparing us for a total reboot. The Galactica reboot worked, but I don’t want them to do the same thing for Star Trek. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

I’m just happy that TOS is coming back. If the movie sucks (which is possible but not likely) then I’ll just go back to not watching or caring about Trek. It’ll be no different than the last 15 years.

Thanks Stanky. I admired your restraint.
I for one know that to get the rainbow requires a little rain… ;)
