    Faceman disagrees: forgot you had a thing for gay adam, sorry

    Never even knew he was in 24, to be honest. I've never seen "Day 3".

    Don't, or it'll ruin the delusion that's he's a good actor.

    Impressive.
    And he can play the repressed emotion thing too, I think.

    Works for me.

    He has no significant accent.

    Re: Trek XI - Zachary Quinto virtually confirmed as Spock!

    As long as they're good actors as well, I don't mind . . . ;)

    Actually, Spock would be the one you'd most want to keep looking about the same. Spock is probably the most recognizable (and marketable) of the characters. Plus fans griping about Spock looking radically different could point out that Vulcans aren't supposed to age as rapidly as are humans (comes with the longer lifespan).

    Too bad it might be their 1st mission...
    That means Gary Sinise is too old to play Bones...

    Yes, I agree. It's SILLY to cast a good actor that bears a resemblance to the character you intend him to play. What were they thinking?

    I'm watching CSI New York now and every time I see Sinese I think he's McCoy. McCoy was always craggy-looking, so I think he still could pull it off with the right makeup.

    McCoy is the one character not bound by an age requirement.

    He just has to be able to pull of cynical and curmudgeonly.

    I'd like to see a continuation of the 5 year mission. That way, any change in the Enterprise design can be looked as a pre refit-refit.
    Like the design change from The Cage (the spike and vents and bridge dome) to the rest of the series.
