If they ABSOLUTELY have to do a TOS remake (which at this point seems inevitable) it should be Timmy Olyphant as Kirk; simply so we can all get drenched (no matter sexual orientation) by two kickass cowboy spacemen passing a torch between each-other

    As much as I love Tim, isn’t he a tad long in the tooth to be starting a TOS reboot? Like, a whole generation older than Shatner was at the start of TOS?

    Right for playing a guy who’s decided who he is and calmed down a bit, but not for a thrusting young captain who nails every green chick in sight.

      You’re right. I’d rather them produce a ‘Red Shirts’ series anyway. He could be in that. I just read the first issue, it’s really fun. They could do it like ‘Black Mirror’ or ‘Inside No 9’ in an episodic format with different directors and big actors we don’t want/expect to die.

      None of us want a reboot. They got close enough with SNW, which does occasionally impress me.

      For the love of all things holy can they leave TOS-era alone? We already got the crappy JJ nuTrek movies, they forced DIS on us and then SNW. They ruined Post-TNG era with PIC and I’m still not sold on LD.
