When I saw this young Nimoy picture I thought

[starsky]

wow!! cool shots!

[Earth 2 Chris]

I agree, Nimoy did look older, at roughly the same age, but since we are seeing the characters BEFORE we knew them from the series, a slightly younger looking Spock makes sense.

For whatever reason, Nimoy does look 10 years younger in "The Cage". So when they chose to set it's events in the past in "Menagerie" it really worked! And there Nimoy and Quinto look even more alike in a way.

But, best possible re-casting for Spock for sure.

I think he's an ok choice to play Spock, but I don't personally think he looks much like Nimoy.

[Hector]

"an ok choice"...you haven't even seen the bloody movie...lol.

Do I need to see the movie to answer if I think he looks like Nimoy ?

Of subject on this, but the worst cast character in the new star trek had to be Simon Peg as Scottie, I think Simon in general is a funny guy, but what were they thinking casting him as Scottie?

[starsky]

[tomstoyz2]

They decided to make the Scottie character the comic relief.

In that case it works...but on the other...it's nothing like the old Scottie.

I thought Chekov was the worst one, Peg is to ugly to play Scottie, Scottie was a good looking dude back in the day

I wasn't a fan of the Chekov casting as well. I liked Simon Peg in the movie and I think if they give him the chance to be less comic relief, he could grow into the role well.

Interesting note, Nimoy's ear lobes (large lobes) and Quinto's earlobes are different (sort of fade into his neck). Yeah, I need to get a life. lol
