All y'all can spare the pitchforks please But with regards to the cast, it seems that the crew are going out of their way to cast good actors. This signals to me more character development than in TOS, and if not in this movie then later down the road. I actually liked Nemesis and Insurrection…..

You appear to have taken or interpreted my comments out of context. My comments toward the movie and the actors cast so far have been mostly positive, and I can hardly wait for the movie to be released. I mentioned Mr. Yelchin's comments "remind me" of ....... I also said "This in no way implies Mr. Yelchin is this kind of person. He sounds like a very nice gentleman, and I look forward to him in Star Trek 2008". Just thought I should mention this. (or did you over-look that part?) I also think #2 was just stating an opinion, (sorry #2 for speaking for you). Part of what he said has merit. You don't become a trekkie overnight. I would say you commenting that both our comments are negative and pathetic might be a little extreme. Tell me you disagree with me and why, that would be nice. To slag or rip for a comment is not very cool. I have invested many hours of my life and many dollar$ into this franchise over the 35 years. I would say that entitles me to the occasional comment. Even if that comment differs from yours. Lastly, saying that the movie might not meet my dreams of perfection, is also a stretch. I have posted serveral comments here, and my first priority has always been a good story. Which remains to be seen. Regardless of who is cast, story comes first. That chip on my shoulder you talk about is more like 2 pounds and not ten as you say. I'm wearing one pound for each of the last two movies. Most would agree the last two movies lacked originality and quality. 466 dtST cugel the clever #15, #16. You appear to have taken or interpreted my comments out of context.

Not all films have everyone cast before shooting begins. Some announcements on casting may also be held on purpose until the day before just because it helps to build intrest in the project. You may continue to get tidbits on the casting of minor roles for the next few weeks, but you may not get the news you want (Kirk) until shooting is ready to begin.

You ARE a "trekker" or your not... you don't decide to become one. To even make a descision or statement to "become" one means you will don't get it to begin with. Now I'm going out to the garage to "become" an NBA superstar. LOL I have to agree that you watch it or don’t, and you like it or don’t.

Renting? Buy those box sets! You make more money than I do & I'll be buying them a second time. “just renting all the box sets, not going outside, not seeing the sun rise, just having the shades drawn.”
