Don't Talk About This...EVER

I'm an old Trekkie, and I just don't get all the vitriol aimed at the new movies. I saw the original first episode in Sept, 1966 and just love the new movies. I was a total Leonard Nimoy/Spoke fan and now love, love the new cast- especially Chris Pine. He was born to play James T Kirk. Don't know why he gets such grief. What he said about burying the message- the cerebral bits within the action is right on point. Otherwise, how do explain the failure of The Finest a Hours in the wake of the mediocre Superman vs Batman and it's ilk. Infuriates me. Audiences have been numbed by all the comics and video game action. Action and noise are now how movies are measured. And the Star Trek universe was filled with shot-um-ups and the Enterprise being damage and destroyed [twice]. So called fans seem to have very short memories, maybe from all the noise of action films. There were deep moral discussions in Into Darkness, but guess they didn't want to recognize them.

gtakei just fanning the hardcore antijj trekkies madness at this point. i had this epiphany last night through reading some of these people’s comments. they constantly insist trek should only be cerebral, and damn the rest of fans who wouldn’t care, cause the hardcore trekkies WOULD. and it hit me, they don’t WANT trek to be mainstream. they want it to be their private little club. its hipsterism at its very worst.

old school trekkies are legit the worst. they want trek to be like how they remember from either tos or tng and refuse to move forward. they hate abrams verse and anything new and will probably hate the new show too. the new tv series can be the best thing ever and they will still probably hate it if it has one too many explosions or cgi because those arent authentic to the ‘real’ (what does that even mean??) star trek. and takei is just bitter for some reason idek. i just lost respect for him because 90% of his followers are just like him and hate anything new. and takei can hate all he wants, i dont care, but dont fucking diss the franchise that gave you fame less than a month before the new movie comes out and a week after the cast went through a horrible trajedy cause you want some clicks and thumbs ups. fuck him. 

What was he thinking!

Chris Pine is seen at LAX on September 21, 2016 in Los Angeles, California.

Everyone seems to not like the full, full beard, but I think he has to keep it for the movie he's currently shooting.

Chris Pine attends the 17th annual AFI Awards at Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills on January 6, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.

THIS!

Paul Wesley needs to really up his game. A big disappointment!

I’m watching TOS Paul Wesley take notes ✍🏻

The hair and beard are for his role as Dr. Murray in A Wrinkle in Time!

Chris Pine attends the ceremony honoring Jeff Bridges with a hand and footprint held at TCL Chinese Theatre on January 6, 2017 in Hollywood, California.

What a fabulous book!

Jimmy Fallon asked him last night. Really do like him in a full-face short beard much better!

Help: I watched a Chris interview where someone asked about the goatee and he said it was due to sheer boredom and then said he was Evil Chris??  HelP??

Another just gorgeous shot!!!!!!

Actually, it's really those incredible eyes [pine's]!!!!!!!! Then the lips.....

I feel likw in ATOS, the first thing everyone notices about kirk is his lips. They literally have to force themselves to look away. Jim "My eyes are up here" Kirk.

the first thing they notice are his lips, and then the second thing they notice are his eyebrows
