That bit cracked me up.

This was a rough episode to watch yet still better then S02E03.

The dude playing J.T.K is, to me, completely and utterly unconvincing as Kirk. Zero charisma/charm/swagger.

Shatner's Kirk kicked ass and fucked his way out of trouble.

Pine's Kirk kicked ass and was more intelligent.

Wesley's Kirk seems like he would complain to HR knowing he would likely get his way because he is handsome.

He is Darrin from Bewitched. They put him in the wrong reboot.

THATS IT! PERFECT!

Nice. :-)

He is starting to grow on me a bit, but I still think they could have made him much more charismatic. I suspect they didn't so he wouldn't steal Pike's thunder.

Obviously his relationship with Carol is doomed, so I suspect he'll probably end up boning La'an at some point next season.

SNW seems as if there are only two goals:


1) torture Pike in order to add dramatic weight to his ultimate fate.

2) shape Spock into a man who eschews being half human and go full bore into being Vulcan.

How in the hell did you not see that?

Also, remember Kirk on TOS is basically Superman. He's the exemplar of GR's utopian society high in intelligence and morals. I think it's fair to say Wesley is playing up an understated Kirk from an angle of humility.

Also come on. Shatner was in the 60s/70s Television era which, unless I'm mistaken, was considered closer to stage acting more than it was cinema which means more "hitting the back wall" than staying more grounded.

Sorry, I just despise musicals. I hate Sound of Muzak, and pretty much everything that came after it.

The ONLY musicals I can tolerate is when performing musical numbers makes sense within the story. People spontaneously breaking out in song just irks me.

Maybe at the end of the series there will be an intense series of events that pushes him into becoming the Kirk we are familiar with. That would be cool.

There are going to be several memorable characters that don't make the transition to ST:TOS. Could be some epic deaths coming.

I like to see stoic Spock and fully embraces Kolinahr. Zachery Quinto's portraying "human" Spock
