The way you feel about Kirk/Chris Pine is the same way I feel about Zachary Quinto/Spock! I mean I stopped watching *Heroes* because of Sylar and was kinda dreading seeing him as Spock but, dear lord, not only did he rock as Spock but I found him completely *hot*!
I feel this way about Spock/Quinto too. When I first heard he'd be playing Spock I was excited because Heroes hadn't started sucking yet. Then as I got increased frustrated with that show and Sylar, it was tainting my love of him as Spock. But the love is back and like ten times stronger now. He was perfection. Like I was actually jittering in my seat a moments with how awesome he was. Like the smackdown at the Vulcan Science Academy, I loved every scene with him and his mother, and when he materialized when his hand out but she wasn't there, and the way he kind of looked at the blank spot on the pad like he couldn't believe it ... awww, come here Spock I will comfort you (actually, I would if Uhura didn't already have the job, but she does and she's fucking amazing, so I'll just sit back and be dazzled by how much chemistry they have together)
I've turned into a squealing fangirl!! And has me searching the internet for icons!
Me too! I'm shipping Uhura/Spock like its my job, right now! I've been searching for movie icons since I got back.
Like you said - was it perfect? No. But great googly-moogly does it have me excited about Star Trek again! I'm ready for them to pull a Twilight and shoot the next bajillion sequels all in a row!
Not perfect, but really, really good. Even things like it being a huge sausage fest didn't bother me like it normally would have, because I LOVED all of the male characters, and would hit every one (hmm, maybe not Scotty, but I'd go out drinking with him). Also, they did beef up Uhura's part, and they made her pretty sassy so I forgive it. Uhura best be on an away mission and get to kick some ass in the sequel though, and she better have a uniform with pants for when she goes on the away missions!
I hope they do pull a Twilight and film them back to back, mostly for the selfish reason that I'd get more Trek sooner. The cast is going to explode, well, I think Pine is going to explode like crazy, Quinto is definitely set for a higher profile, and I hope that Hollywood finally starts playing attention to Zoe Saldana. I want her to be the new pretty go to black lady since Halle Berry is off being a mom. Cause right now it's like they are going to Beyonce for this shit, and I don't want to live a world like that!

Thank you! ... ... now how do you pronounce that?
