Silly for accents to bug me, when I loved Ewan as Alec Guinness and Tennant as an English Doctor.

Why do I hate America?
You're all also forgetting that Yvonne Strahovski, the uber babe in Chuck is Australian. In fact she does such a great non-accent in the series that it seems odd when she uses her real speaking voice.

Not only is her character hot and dangerous, but also a nerd lover.

Tcha, stop baiting. Typical bloody American war-monger.

I think I must secretly be in love with America. I think I'm in denial. No Cairo jokes plz.

Read this hysterical article by Wil Wheaton about WILLIAM FUCKING SHATNER at Suicide Girls.

Part 1: http://suicidegirls.com/news/geek/20562/

Part 2: http://suicidegirls.com/news/geek/20634/

Wil Wheaton is now a famous blogger, and his current blog is:
http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/

If you don't know who Wil Wheaton is . . . or Suicide Girls . . . or Star Trek . . . there's no hope for you. You're dead!

That's precisely why I'm having a problem convincing myself that I want to see this movie. At least the people putting together Star Trek Phase II (used to be Star Trek: New Voyages, has permission from both Paramount and Majel Roddenberry) went to the extra effort to get the look and the FX correct. They also have some of the original screenwriters and ST novel authors contributing scripts, along with regular appearances by actors from the original series.

It occurs to me that I'm probably not the first person to mention this. (EDIT: Actually, I am. Ha.)

I've been a Trekkie forever, but I'm not going to subscribe to a streaming service just for Trek... There's too much good stuff available from too many other sources.


But that does look good. Good cast, at least.
