You know I had my initial freak out about the new Kirk and now with some time and a little photo gathering I can like see it enough to give him a chance. I know magnanimous of me, a nobody, who has never seen him act. Could he be curvier? Yes. Could he be shorter? Yes. Could he be less stereotypically handsome? Yes. These are also not really important if he can do Kirk. Shatner isn’t a great actor but he was a great Kirk. Sometimes roles elevate the performer and this role has a lot of meat on it, a lot of potential. I guess in a year’s time we’ll see what he’ll do with it.
(my fan cast was Phil Dunster from Ted Lasso. I don’t even know if he can do an American accent but God he could have done the rest. But that’s in the past now. This is the new Kirk we have)
Michael,
In your previous message you enquired about the new Captain. He is…not what I expected. His fleet records describe a skilled tactician, diplomat and leader. I have found him to be brash, vexatious and unpredictable. Not unlike you. He is….fascinating.
I shall send another message when I have more information.
Spock out.
