I think it's funny that Depp based his Jack Sparrow character on Keith Richards.

There is a rumor that Philip Seymour Hoffman (who won the 2005 Oscar for his portrayal of Truman  Capote) might be cast in the role of the ship's surgeon, but not Leonard "Bones" McCoy, perhaps the role of Doctor Mark Piper who was McCoy's predecessor who appeared in the TOS episode "where No Man Has Gone Before".

I saw him as a villain in some movie recently, but I can't remember what it was for the life of me.

Now where in the Bible does it say if someone does something stupid you should shoot them in the face?"

Mission Impossible 3?  I didn't see it, but I heard he was a villain in that one.

I vote for Matt Damon as Kirk and Ben Affleck as Spock.  Boyo, can you imagine their first kiss?!!!?


Okay, enough of that silly dreaming...I seriously see nothing wrong with Matt Damon as Kirk...I'm sure he'll make an excellent dream boat captain kissing all the aliens and letting his hands roam were no man has gone before?  What else is required besides an ability to speak in stilted sentences?

I was never here, you were never here, this conversation never took place, and you most certainly did not see me.

You never know, it could have been shorter rather than longer.  Kirk tried to convince spock that the Gorn attack meant war.

The Duke might have just said, "Fill yer hand, you son of a <bleep>!" and charged!

According to one of the books I read, Jack Lord was seriously considered for the role in the series, but he and his wife wanted a piece of the franchise. Book'em Spocko! ;D
