Sylar as Spock...
I am such a geek. But you knew that, right? And yes, I'm a Star Trek fan. I've been one since I was watching reruns at 10:00 at night (past my bedtime) on Friday nights back in the late 70's.I suspected Zachary Quinto (who plays Sylar on the TV series Heroes) would look pretty good stepping into Leonard Nimoy's boots to portray Spock in the upcoming Star Trek movie. Based on the trailer that was just released to the Internet (no, I haven't seen Quantum of Solace yet... I was at a seminar all weekend).
And now it's pretty much confirmed. He looks like he'll be an outstanding Spock. Now, the jury is of course still out on the movie itself, but the trailer looks pretty awesome. As a friend of mine said, "It looks like they took the Dark Knight stick to the Star Trek franchise."
I don't think that's a bad thing.
I don't know about the Shatner-less Kirk, but I'm willing to let my geeky hopes rise on this one. A re-envisioning of the original series at this point sounds a lot more fresh than the last couple of Trek series on TV (though I really, really wanted Enterprise to rock). So here's hoping.

I was telling the Rabid Paladin that this looks a lot like what Roddenberry would have done with an enormous budget. I have high hopes for the new movie, but as an old-school Trekker, I'm totally comfortable with the idea of reenvisioning the characters--that's what the original spinoff novels were doing, all the time.
