I’ll have you know the Ballz name goes back seven generations! Of course, when my great-grandfather came here from the old country, he shortened it to Ballz…….most people couldn’t quite get their head around the original surname, Ballzablazin!

Not to mention, my great-grandfather was a magician, so when he was introduced, they’d say, “here he is, the Great Ballzablazin!”

Brings a tear to my eye every time I think about it!

I would rather watch a Star Trek movie based on Counselor Troy’s mother trying to score a date. Do you really think that having Nimoy play an older Spock (which will probably be a 5 minute scene) will entice the die hards to watch this movie. Wrong! The teddy bears in the last true Star Wars film had better appeal. The cartoon version of Lord of the Rings, not Jackson’s, has 4 stars compaired to this idea.
Wow a secret plot, bull s*^t. Will the guy with the silver eyes have a staring role also? Was he not KIrk’s buddy before Spock? Kirks shirt torn, Spock who shouts at his panel and is not 2nd in command, Scotty in a yellow shirt, Dr. McCoy and Chekov not even on the ship. Fighting a giant gord in space piloted by an android midgit who is a giant on his planet. Sorry to ruin the secret plot.
Sorry, Gotta go the DS9 episode with the Feregi bartender and his idiot brother is on.

#151 Browder would be great! He’s practically a clone of Hunter.

Yeah, Ben Browder fits the bill appearance-wise.

Never seen him perform.

Wasn’t sure which to post this in but it seems like the most recent topic with casting. I was just on startrek.com and they have a poll for “Christopher Pike”. Really not into there choices, some of which are obviously joke choices but it got me to thinking about actors I liked from my shows.

I didn’t have anyone particular in mind but I got to thinking Ben Browder might be a good choice. Liked him on farscape (and all his trek references) and as leader of SG1.

Here is a comparison:

148. JCool –
149. Marbals -

You’re right. He does look skinny there.

Nix the Urban/physicality point, but it wouldn’t hurt Pine to tone up his physical presence.
