Karl Urban is going to be the new Dr. McCoy? Karl Urban?

Yeah, that's the one big casting WTF for the new Star Trek. Nothing wrong with Urban, great actor, but physically bears little resemblance to the original McCoy. He's much broader, for one thing, and the head shape doesn't match.

(Maybe since he's the Doctor, they could pass it off as regeneration?)

The guy from Heroes that they cast as the young Spock, on the other hand, PERFECT choice!

Sylar. If you haven't seen him, his name is Zachary Quinto (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0704270/).

And, because I'm a complete whore, you can check out my thoughts, and a list of all the casting, here (http://theformidablenerd.com/blog/2007/10/19/bones-is-cast/)

I don't know a whole heck of a lot about what the new film is supposed to be, but I can see the personality connect.

i KNOW. It's going to be awesome. Every time I see Karl Urban I see him as Cupid in Hercules.... now that takes me back. This movie is going to be a riot.

OMG... I just remembered that... I couldn't figure out why I had this smirky connection with him or where my idea that he'd be good as McCoy came from... now I remember why. Thanks. :D

I can see it. I can actually see and hear him in my mind's eye, talking like Bones ...

From what I've seen of Urban, he's pretty darn good actor and has a big screen prescience. I just hope he doesn't overwhelm some of the other castmembers :)

Zachary Quinto's character was only shown in the shadows during the first few Heroes episodes so that's why you probably don't remember him.

I think its best to watch the first season of Heros in as few viewings as possible. When I have a week to think about an episode it isn't as fun as seeing a bunch of them in a row. The first season had some big payoffs for me and I enjoyed it. Haven't started watching the 2nd season yet although its stored on my TiVO.

I was impressed by Urban in Doom. I didn't expect much from that movie, but he owned the end of it.

Uh...

Yeah.

Right there with you on that one. Though, he probably did a good job on the audition. (EG, very in character)
