I think we have to remember that in a film trailer we are going to get only bits and pieces of anything — especially character attributes — to entice people to plop down their hard-earned coin to see the flick.

I’m sure they cast Mr. Pegg as Scotty for his comedic talents and the comic relief he will bring to the film at certain points. I have also heard that the gentleman can hold his own as a dramatic actor as well. So, just as with James Doohan’s classic portrayal, I believe we will have some comic relief from Mr. Pegg as our beloved Scottish engineer, but we will also see him as the miracle worker and man of extreme honor and integrity that he is as well.

Merry Christmas to you, 750 Mang.

“I would not presume to debate you.”

Unlike in the USA here in the UK all five of the mainstream terrestial channels (BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and Five) allow the use of the “F” word after 9pm (they can even use the “C” word if its use is justified).

Full frontal male and female nudity is also allowed after 9pm.

In fact I think the only things not allowed on UK terrestial telly are male erections and female parts fully exposed.

I think that still puts us years ahead of the USA though.

Can you imagine 24 being made using the UK rules… :D

Not ‘happy’ christmas?

Not very British eh?

You have a review of a Fan film but no ‘Cage’ remaster, what gives??

With all we have heard from Chris Doohan’s comments on these threads, he feels that his father would be proud of Simon Pegg’s performance. I am sure the filmmakers will trust him with his share of dramatic moments as well.

So, the haggis isn’t in the fire yet, laddie. Keep the faith, now.
