Recasting Kirk

Neeson's Irish, dude.

John Hannah would be a good Scotty choice...and Scottish, to boot. The guy who does the doc on Stargate: Atlantis would be a good choice, as well.

Ya know...I think I could get behind that choice, as well.

Might not be a bad choice, IMNSHO.

Yep, that's him. In fact, some of his reactions in last week's episode were what made me think of him in the role...

If you're doing a "reimagining", then I'd say cast Bruce as either Pike or even Garth of Izar.... ;)

I can see him more as Chris Pike than I can as Jim Kirk.

Yeah. Me too. :)

The Chin would make an AWESOME Garth of Izar! :D

I can see Campbell bringing the "boom stick" to the primitive screwheads in episodes like "The Apple" and "A Private Little War" LOL :D

Garth. I can see Bruce being Garth.

No no...why not Christopher Walken as Garth?

Bamber is too much of a nice-guy, both in Hornblower and in BG...

But Ioan Gruffudd -- Hornblower himself -- would be much better as Kirk.

Because I'd like him as Commodore Decker. ;)

Oooooooh....good call.

James Kirk - Corin Nemec (didn't think of him until Sho-sa mentioned him...perfect!)
Spock - Ralph Fiennes (has that "look", along with a reserved placidness...I think he'd be great)
Leonard McCoy - Emma Thompson (yep, I agree with recasting as a female character)
Montgomery Scott - Ewan McGregor (he's a Scott, for heaven's sake)
Hikaru Sulu - Chris Tashima (has a fair bit of premature grey hair, but that's easily fixed!)
Pavel Chekov - Nicholas Brendan (a bit quirky...we'll get him a coach for the accent!)
Uhura - Halle Berry (yeah...eye candy, but so was Nichelle! :D )
