    Can we get Bryan Cranston to do a Half-Life movie? He could pull off Freeman

    Spaceballs joke at the end ftw! \m/

  7. Mook says:

    Well, if they don’t cast Walter White, maybe they can get Jesse Pinkman.  Who wouldn’t want to hear him utter the immortal words, “Beam me up, bitch!” ?

  8. Q2 says:

    Smart-Trek, this franchise is about exploration, peace, and the understanding of other cultures. What Abrams did was star wars in the 23rd century.

  9. Spartacus says:

    Nice, I’m down for smart and action. Also no one told you because they were too bust staring at it, not for being too big but for being nice

  10. We are the ones who assimilate!

    McCoy’s ex-wife has NEVER been seen on screen, She’s been seen in books only, and very very few of those.

    Nice Cameltoe

  17. Patrick says:

    Javier Bardem if not Cranston! 

  18. JD44 says:

    Rowan Atkinson would make a good villain. 

  19. David says:

    Time marches on, Jessica.  Sooner or later your find it’s marching on your face. 

  20. Wraith says:

    Team Smart-Trek! Action Trek is just Star Wars.

      Indeed. Trek is about exploring the human condition. Vulcans being about pure logic was not done by osmosis, it serves a purpose. Vulcan logic versus human emotion, what wins out?
