Comments on: Pine’s Kirk Inspired By Harrison Ford? http://trekmovie.com/2008/03/10/pine-modeling-kirk-on-harrison-ford/ the source for Star Trek news and information Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:18:37 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Linda http://trekmovie.com/2008/03/10/pine-modeling-kirk-on-harrison-ford/comment-page-6/#comment-1695501 Linda Mon, 06 Apr 2009 06:36:55 +0000 http://trekmovie.com/2008/03/10/pine-modeling-kirk-on-harrison-ford/#comment-1695501 Sorry I haven't read all the comments before writing this. I think they have to look at Kirk as a developing person. What were the triggers and developments making him the captain we met in the '60's. It brings to mind that episode from ST:TNG where Picard has his heart failure and ends up with Q replaying his earlier years and what one simple change would have meant to his career. It would be fascinationg for the writers to explore and develop those developmental plot points. Sorry I haven’t read all the comments before writing this.

A Harrison Ford-esque Kirk. Not a reluctant hero, but definitely a man of action when he gets going... Something tells me that's how it was supposed to be from Day 1. Good luck, Mr. Pine, you'll probably need it. I can see where he’s going with this. A Harrison Ford-esque Kirk. Not a reluctant hero, but definitely a man of action when he gets going…

One of us will have to pay for a plane ticket since you're in Iowa is the only thing. :P “Accepted, but I want real popcorn, not the cloned mash they’re used to churn out nowadays. ;-)”

Not to me. I’m not sure TNG was ever major motion picture material. Those films were better suited for straight-to-dvd release. Despite its longevity, the TNG characters never attained the iconic status of their predecessors.

“…one of the reasons I stopped watching Enterprise — the first time I’ve ever stopped watching a Trek in progress. They changed too much of what I saw as fact …”
